85SX Flanger
Riding the crest of the analog modulation revolution, the Sanox 85SX Flanger is a rare and captivating relic from Japan's golden age of boutique pedal design. At its heart beats the legendary Reticon SAD512D Bucket Brigade Device - the very same circuit that powered iconic flangers of the era, delivering that rich, organic swoosh that has defined the genre for generations. But the 85SX is no mere clone. Its ingenious 18V architecture sets it apart, providing enhanced headroom and lower noise for a stunningly clear, dynamic, and responsive flange effect. Dial in anything from lush, chorus-like textures to aggressive, jet-engine howls, with the pedal's trio of intuitive controls - Rate, Width, and Feedback - unlocking a vast sonic palette. This increased voltage also imbues the 85SX with an uncanny sense of depth and dimension, the modulation sweeping through the soundstage with mesmerizing three-dimensionality. It's an analog experience that simply can't be replicated in the digital domain, the Reticon's unique character shining through in every undulating wave. Housed in a rugged Japanese metal enclosure and equipped with a reliable mechanical bypass, the 85SX is a true survivor from a bygone era - a window into the innovative spirit of Coron's modulation designs, now bearing the Sanox name. For those seeking the pinnacle of vintage analog flanging, this is a pedal that demands your attention.
