MXR M152 Micro Flanger is a flanger pedal.
MXR is one of the most respected names in effects pedals, known for its rugged design, simplicity, and legendary tones. Founded in New York in the early 1970s, MXR quickly made its mark with classics like the Phase 90, Dyna Comp, and Distortion+, which became staples on countless pedalboards. Now part of the Dunlop family, MXR continues to innovate while maintaining the straightforward, no-nonsense approach that players love. Whether delivering subtle modulation, rich overdrive, or tight compression, MXR pedals are built to last and designed to perform, offering timeless sounds that have shaped decades of music.
Flanger is a modulation effect that creates a sweeping, jet-like sound by mixing the original signal with a slightly delayed copy that is continuously modulated. As the delay time changes, it produces a series of moving peaks and notches in the frequency response, giving the effect its distinctive whooshing character.
It is often used to add dramatic movement and texture to guitars, basses, and synthesizers, ranging from subtle shimmer to intense, psychedelic sweeps. Flanger is commonly associated with classic rock and experimental sounds, but it remains widely used wherever bold modulation and motion are wanted.
