The Ibanez FL9 is a highly regarded, bucket-brigade (BBD) analog flanger produced in Japan during the early 1980s (c. 1981–1984) and later reissued. Known for its warm, musical, and thick modulation tones, it features four knobs—Speed, Regen, Width, and Delay Time—allowing for everything from subtle chorusing to intense jet-plane sweeps. Key Features & Characteristics · Controls: The 4-knob layout provides extensive control over the modulation rate, feedback (Regen), modulation range (Width), and the specific time delay. · Sound: Renowned for a darker, warmer, and more organic, less metallic sound compared to some of its contemporaries. · Versatility: Capable of producing chorus-like, vibrato, or intense, sweeping flange effects. · Build: Known for a durable tank-like metal housing. Usage Tips · Subtle Tones: Set the Regen and Width lower for a classic, subtle, and smooth, thick modulation. · Intense Tones: Increase the Regen and Delay Time for dramatic, jet-plane effects. · Chorus/Vibrato: Slow the speed and lower the feedback to enter chorus-like territory. The original 1980s models are sought-after vintage collector's items, while the reissues offer the same circuitry with greater, more consistent reliability. Excellent condition.
