Description

The MXR M226 Flanger/Doubler brings the legendary studio tones of the original MXR rack unit to your pedalboard in a compact, fully analogue stompbox. From sweeping seventies jet flanging to lush chorusing, thick doubling and slap-back textures, it delivers classic modulation with modern reliability, true bypass switching and flexible control voltage connectivity. Designed for players who want authentic vintage character without sacrificing control, the M226 offers a wide-ranging set of controls, dedicated Doubler and Invert switches, and instrument or line-level operation. Whether you are after subtle movement, dramatic whooshing sweeps or studio-style double-tracking effects, this pedal gives you the tools to sculpt rich, musical modulation that always sits perfectly in the mix. With CV input and output, the M226 also slots seamlessly into modular and CV-based rigs, letting you sync and manipulate its analogue sweep from external sources. Add in clear visual feedback from the sweep LEDs and a robust 9V DC power design, and you have a versatile flanger and doubler that is equally at home on stage, in the studio or in an experimental sound design setup. Authentic Analogue Flanger/Doubler Tones The M226 is an authentic recreation of the original MXR analogue Flanger/Doubler rack unit, capturing the unmistakable character heard on countless seventies and eighties records. Its fully analogue signal path preserves your core tone while adding rich, organic modulation that feels alive under your fingers. Dedicated Doubler Mode Engage the Doubler switch to move beyond traditional flanging into chorus, vibrato and slap-back style effects. This mode thickens single-note lines, widens clean chords and adds studio-like double-tracking depth, making one guitar sound like several without losing clarity. Powerful Tone-Shaping Controls With Mix, Regen, Manual, Width and Speed controls, the M226 lets you dial in everything from slow, subtle movement to intense, resonant sweeps. The Invert switch unlocks out-of-phase modulation textures, while the adjustable input level switch optimises performance with both instrument and line-level signals. Modern Connectivity with CV Integration CV input and output (0 to 5V) allow the M226 to integrate with modular systems and CV-compatible pedals, so you can sync its sweep, modulate parameters externally or use it as a modulation source. True bypass switching keeps your signal pristine when the effect is off, and 9V DC operation with a 160 mA draw ensures stable performance on modern pedalboards. Key Features Authentic Analogue Flanger/Doubler Recreation – Faithfully based on the original MXR Flanger/Doubler rack unit, the M226 delivers the same classic seventies and eighties modulation tones in a pedalboard-friendly format, giving you studio-grade sounds without the bulk. Versatile Doubler and Invert Modes – The dedicated Doubler and Invert switches expand the pedal far beyond standard flanging, providing chorus, vibrato, slap-back and out-of-phase textures that can thicken your sound, add movement or create experimental modulation effects. Comprehensive Analogue Control Set – Mix, Regen, Manual, Width and Speed controls, along with sweep LEDs, give you precise command over the effect and clear visual feedback, so you can quickly find and recall your ideal settings on stage or in the studio. CV Connectivity and True Bypass – CV input and output (0 to 5V) make it easy to integrate the M226 with modular gear and CV-capable pedals, while true bypass switching and 9V DC power ensure clean, reliable operation on any modern pedalboard.
