From the listing

Seller's description

Big, heavy, chrome-plated and unmistakably vintage. The Morley PFL Pro Flanger comes from the golden era of American effects pedals, manufactured by Tel-Ray Electronics in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This impressive analog flanger features the legendary Reticon SAD1024 bucket-brigade delay (BBD) chip, a highly sought-after component found in several classic modulation effects. What makes the PFL particularly interesting is its combination of automatic and manual operation. In Auto mode, the rocker controls the modulation speed, allowing you to adjust the movement of the flanger while playing. Switch to Foot mode and the rocker controls the sweep directly, opening up everything from slowly shifting filter effects to dramatic, almost synthesizer-like sounds. The Phase Travel, Center and Harmonic Emphasis controls provide extensive ways to shape the effect, while the Harmonic Coloration switch further changes its tonal character. Depending on the settings, the PFL can produce traditional jet-like flanging, chorus-like textures, rotary-style modulation and unusual resonant effects. Housed in Morley's unmistakable oversized chrome enclosure, the Pro Flanger is a fascinating example of the ambitious pedal designs that came out of the Tel-Ray era. Its combination of analog modulation, the sought-after Reticon SAD1024 chip and real-time foot control makes it just as interesting for experimental players as it is for vintage effects collectors. This particular American-made example carries serial number 200640. A serious piece of vintage gear for anyone looking for something a little different from the usual flanger pedal. European plug, 230 volt.
