The Ibanez FL9, first released in 1982 and produced until 1984, is a classic Flanger pedal that stands out for its vintage analog sound and exceptional build quality. In original condition, this pedal offers a rich, dynamic flanger effect that remains highly revered among guitarists, especially those with a taste for '80s-era tones.
 
What truly sets the FL9 apart is its distinctive, rich analog sound. The original FL9’s flanger effect is lush and organic, with a smooth, swirling quality that’s less harsh than some digital flangers. There’s a warmth and character that only analog circuits can provide. The depth and speed controls allow for everything from gentle, atmospheric modulation to more pronounced, jet-plane-like swooshes, making it versatile enough to fit into various musical contexts.
 
One of the most iconic traits of the FL9 is its ability to achieve a vintage "jet plane" effect, a feature that’s sought after by players who appreciate the vintage modulations of the early '80s. There is also a subtle, almost phasing-like quality when used at lower speeds, making it especially desirable for creating dreamy, ambient effects.
 
The flanger works wonderfully on both clean and dirty channels, and it’s perfect for solos and adding depth to rhythm parts. When set at lower speeds, the FL9 offers a rich, chorus-like effect, but crank up the speed and depth, and you get that unmistakable jet-plane swoosh that became synonymous with the ‘80s sound.
 
This 1982 flanger is in perfect working condition and in very good cosmetic shape.
