Yes, I have one
Yes, it is even more fun than the demos show
It is very easy to make completely wacked out crazy sounds
However, I recommend that you take a lot of time and actually learn what each knob does, because then not only can you make crazy noises with it, but you can actually get it do normal flanger/phaser/chorus and filter matrix sounds.

Having had one, I agree with all of this. Mine didn't have a manual, but this page was pretty helpful with understanding the knobs and whatnot: http://www.modezero.com/flanger-hoax.htm

The only things I didn't like were that there was sometimes a bit of a volume drop depending on how you set it and it was also pretty hiss-y/noisy when set to fully wet.

Woop, right here, best advice. I usually had mine set to some crazy phasey-flange sound, but then i could just turn any knob and become a noise band. But, because I figured out the pedal, I could then return to the sound I liked previously.


Took me like four months to do so though.

I didn't have enough patience for it, but a sweet pedal indeed.
