FL2 Micro Series Flanger
The Guyatone FL2 Micro Series Flanger is a vintage, high-quality analog effects pedal manufactured in Japan during the 1980s. Part of Guyatone’s acclaimed Micro Series, it is celebrated for its small footprint and warm, organic tones that replicate original tape flanging. A standout technical feature is its asymmetrical sweep pattern, where the sweep speed is slower while climbing and faster when coming off, creating a unique "whiplash" effect unlike standard flangers. This design provides a more "human" feel to the modulation. The pedal features a three-position resonance switch that allows users to adjust the intensity of the effect, ranging from subtle, rich chorus and vibrato to dramatic, jet-like sweeps. Housed in a durable metal enclosure, the FL2 is highly regarded by collectors for its rare circuitry and distinctive violet or purple finish. It is often cited as a more elusive predecessor to the FL3, offering professional-grade analog modulation in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format.
