Description
The MXR M152 Micro Flanger shrinks the beloved M117 Flanger into a pedalboard-friendly footprint without cutting corners on tone. Built around 100% analog bucket brigade circuitry, it produces the thick, watery modulation flangers are known for, staying warm and organic rather than digital or brittle.
Two knobs are all you need to dial in your sound: Speed sets how fast the effect cycles, while Regeneration pushes the intensity from a gentle shimmer into deep, swirling jet-plane sweeps. Push both further and you’re in outer-space territory — swirling, disorienting textures that work great for ambient passages, psychedelic solos, or transitional moments in a song.
Placement in the chain is straightforward: most players run it after distortion/overdrive and before time-based effects like delay and reverb, though flangers are also fun placed earlier for a more aggressive, saturated sweep. Either way, the true bypass switch means the pedal stays silent and transparent until you engage it, so your dry tone stays intact when it’s off.
- True bypass switching
- Speed and Regeneration controls
- 100% analog bucket brigade technology
- Compact, board-friendly enclosure
- Faithful recreation of the classic 80s MXR flanger sound
For anyone chasing that classic analog flange — from subtle chorus-like movement to full jet-engine sweep — the M152 packs the essential character of the original M117 into a much smaller footprint.
