The Joyo JF-07 Classic Flanger (also rebranded and sold as the Harley Benton Classic Flanger) is a highly popular, budget-friendly guitar effects pedal. It is widely recognized in the guitar community as an all-analog clone of the classic Japanese Ibanez FL9 flanger pedal, utilizing a Bucket Brigade Device (BBD) circuit to deliver warm, retro modulation. How It Sounds
Jet-Plane Sweeps: Maxing out the feedback controls produces an aggressive, metallic “whoosh” reminiscent of Eddie Van Halen’s iconic tone.
Pseudo-Chorus & Vibrato: Dialing down the depth and regeneration allows the pedal to double as a lush, watery chorus or a fast vibrato.
Ring Modulation: Extreme or unusual combinations of low delay times and high regeneration generate experimental, metallic ring-modulator textures. Control Knobs
The pedal features a highly customizable four-knob interface to map your exact modulation needs:
Regen (Regeneration): Controls the amount of signal fed back into the circuit, turning up the intensity from a light shimmer to a deep jet roar.
Delay Time: Adjusts the base delay offset, shifting the focal frequency of the filter sweep.
Width (Depth): Sets the scope or physical span of the modulation sweep.
Speed (Rate): Dictates how fast the LFO cycles, ranging from a slow, lazy crawl to rapid, machine-gun pulses. Technical Specifications
