FLANGER- LONGAMP Roxanne Flanger ...is it the best sounding flanger ever made? Many think so!!!

$400.00 USD
 LONGAMP ROXANNE FLANGER 

So what we have here is an exact clone of the 
Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress Flanger
in spite of a bit of a volume drop in the sweep & a bit of hash and hiss it is the classic of classic Flangers. When the MN3007 chip went out of production this little beauty went defunct.

Except for a much needed clean up of the noise this pedal is bang on!!!
It is made in Wroclaw Poland where it is one of several classics they reproduce. 
Unfortunately you have to prepay your order and wait about 5 months.
Yes it is $400.00 USD OUCH!

The pedal 'speaks for itself!'

CONCLUSION
There is nothing not to like. It is glassy yet very full sounding. To have a clean sound with the rich fullness of good OD is a miracle in itself and this pedal makes it an always on pedal with a clean sound.
a lot of players including me thought Andy Summers was using a Roland Jazz chorus to get this sound.
It made sense as his sound was clean but had such an amazing breadth!

One final thought ...damn it ...it even looks dead cool!!!!  lol

I will probably buy one. I too live in the real world and have had some heavy expenses with 
taxes and car problems. LOL
BUT...it is on the top of my short list !!!!
I can certainly procrastinate on buying for now as I only use it on one tune where I use the so called 'Egytian scale' It is a simple pentonic scale. I have a solo in it & have struggled to make it interesting. The tough part is running any chromatic runs just destroys the exotic mood it creates ...breaking years of habit is a bitch.
