A Classic MXR Flanger, Updated for Today
The MXR flanger is one of those legendary effects that defined the tone of many rock and funk productions: a very pronounced phase movement, a turbine-like sensation, and a unique ability to widen a sound while giving it depth. With the M-117R Flanger, MXR brings back this "vintage" character: a rich, organic modulation with enough adjustment range to go from simple thickening to a truly spectacular effect.
Its strength also lies in offering a very straightforward approach: set it, play, and the pedal responds immediately. The result is a pedal both inspired by the great classics and perfectly at ease on a modern pedalboard, whether you're looking for a retro sound or a more experimental modulation.
For Which Musicians and Situations?
The MXR M-117R is aimed both at guitarists wanting to recapture a 70s/80s-style flanger and at contemporary musicians seeking an expressive and easy-to-dial modulation effect. In rock, it delivers the famous "jet plane" movement on riffs or power chords. In funk, it can provide a liquid, percussive swing on chicken picking. In ambient or pop, it becomes a subtle movement layer, ideal for widening arpeggios, keyboard pads, or even vocal tracks.
It works equally well in live settings (quick adjustments, effect immediately audible in the mix) and in studio, where its potential ranges from very fine micro-modulations to more extreme textures. On bass, it can add dimension without necessarily losing attack, and on synths, it transforms a static sound into living material.

Questions frequently asked
What power supply is used with the MXR M117R Flanger?
The required power supply is 18 V DC, with a current draw of 11 mA. A power adapter is included, and operation on two 9 V batteries is also supported.
How to set a MXR flanger for a fixed filter effect?
By setting the Width control to zero, the automatic sweep is disabled. The Manual knob then allows selecting the center frequency.
Is the pedal suitable for bass and keyboards?
This model is designed for guitar, bass, keyboards, and vocals. Its inputs and outputs use jack connectors.
What sound does the Regen control produce?
The Regen control adjusts the feedback, i.e. the effect feeding back into itself. At low settings, it adds depth; at high settings, it emphasizes harmonics and resonance. Interaction with Manual and Width allows achieving more metallic or spacious textures.
Is the MXR M117R true bypass?
The circuit features true bypass, minimizing the pedal's influence on the signal when bypassed.
