Ibanez AF2 Airplane Flanger
Has anyone tried one yet? The $150 price seems pretty solid all things considered.

I'm usually not a huge flanger fan, but I love the way PG uses it, especially the wacky "flange of death" type stuff.

Re: Ibanez AF2 Airplane Flanger
All I know is that I want one.PG knows his shit so I'm sure if hes using it in his live setup to replace his EHX and ADA Flangers then I'm sure it kicks ass.
Also is it me or does his dirty tone sound awful in that clip?

Re: Ibanez AF2 Airplane Flanger
wow it sounds excellent! I've gotten very very bored with the 1 trick pony boss mij bf-2 (or maybe it's just me again) and the irregular Takeoff flanging rate is what I guess I need!
sounds great with dirt too, no? are there any other pedals like this or is this a pioneer?

Re: Ibanez AF2 Airplane Flanger
I was just going to ask this! Despite being amed at Shredder peoples (Paul Gilert Signature) I think it sounds great! It's a reissue of one of their really old flangers, I believe.

This one perhaps?
Oddly enough, it looks more like their old phaser.

Re: Ibanez AF2 Airplane Flanger
Folks! try a generic flanger with your TBD or any feedback loop!
correct me if i'm wrong but I managed to get the irregular waves (as Gilbert puts it) this way.. now why didn't any manufacturers thought of this earlier? Maybe up next we will see pedals that are feedback-looped and rebranded!

I'm sure DBA will make one and claim they invented a new effect
and as someone mentioned earlier...If you are into shred or not, PG knows his shit, especially when it comes to flangers. If he had input and approves, I'll take his word.

Re: Ibanez AF2 Airplane Flanger
I've always thought flangers were cool, but this thing is just WOW. The $150 price tag is also a plus for something that sounds pretty flexible.
Do you like listening to homemade music? Me too. Why don't you try one of mine?

Hey that pedal makes 80's shredding kind of bearable.
I bet you could do a sweet cover of the pumpkin's "Love" with it.

Re: Ibanez AF2 Airplane Flanger
I'm pretty impressed.
I would be much more interested in the pitch shifting section than the traditional flange, though.
Still, it seems like there is a lot you could do with this -- it might be worth it.

Cool, hope the clips from Paul sound somewhat like the pedal really does. (cough cough, Boss, cough)

Re: Ibanez AF2 Airplane Flanger
I hate flangers.
But that thing is really cool.
Welcome to my GAS list.
i just need a tremolo and a chorus first.
