Description

Dunlop positioned the MXR Flanger (M117R-U) as a versatile modulation effects pedal within the MXR line, capable of producing a wide range of flanger-based sounds including jet plane effects, space effects, short delay, chorus, and vibrato.

The unit operates on an 18-volt DC power supply and draws 39 mA. It accepts a maximum input level of 5 dBV at an input impedance of 470 kΩ, and delivers a maximum output level of 5 dBV at an output impedance of 1 kΩ. The noise floor sits at -98 dBV with a 2:1 noise reduction ratio. Maximum delay time is 12.8 ms, and the rate range spans 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz.

For questions about integration into a signal chain, power supply compatibility, or internal servicing, consult a qualified guitar technician or electronics repair professional familiar with effects pedal circuitry.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
