I still have and use my original Flanger pedal from 1978, even though I own a room full of ADA Rack processors that can produce the Flanging effect. The pedal is the quietest Flanger I have ever used and the biggest issue I've ever had with it was this: I wouldn't know if the effect was on until I played my guitar!
My only suggestion for the new pedal, if it's just as quiet, would be to add an LED indicator for the pedal status.

I still consider the old Flanger pedal to be the best one ever made!

Hey Harley,

Thank you for the kind words!  The new PBF Flanger is quieter than the original and it HAS a status indicator!  See more info here: http://adaamps.com/store/products/modulation.html

I got my PBF Flanger and it sounds fantastic!      A great addition to the pedalboard.

Hey ADA Amplification,

    Quieter?!? 

    My old original pedal is dead silent already, and a lot of studio engineers have offered to buy it from me in the past, but I wouldn't sell it. The Flanger is an effect I like to use with my leads along with some delay echoes to add a dimension moving space to the notes. The Flanger adds a swirling dimension to the echoes when I add it lightly.
   Of course I'll definitely have to get the new PBF Flanger, (As if I didn't already own enough ADA gear), just because of the size and quality of the effect itself! It'll come in handy for a suitcase pedal rig where racks just aren't an option.

***Just an application tip for the Flanger: I like to place mine in front of the Wah pedal rather than after it. Not the usual effect chain setup, I know. Then again, on the Flanger, I set my Harmonics to "Odd" because I'm a bit odd anyway ***

( I'm going to have to get some new pics of My ADA gear to post here since the Old Depot pics are lost. Gotta get a better camera)

Saw that video a few days ago and I really liked the sound, especially the clean sound. I think I'm going to buy the flanger also.
Problem is they are hard to find in Europe.

PBF is definitely on my list to buy, initially I was looking at MXR, but the A/DA PBF has my attention now!

    You can't go wrong with the A/DA Flanger! As I wrote earlier, it is the quietest one I've ever used, especially in a pedal format. Whether you set it for a subtle effect, or a super strong effect, my original 1978 pedal is so quiet, I don't know it's on until I play my guitar.
    This new one is definitely something I have to get since I like to use my Flanger before the Wah effect. It's the only pedal I have on the floor other than my Wah. A/DA Flanger and Chorus are the best in their class

I'm a bit of a chorus freak so don't get me started!

Then you probably like the Chorus in the MP-1 already. That one can get pretty lush, but wait until you add another one to it. That's when things get a little crazy

Counting the chorus in the MP-1, I've got... 5 chorus' now!
MXR Analog Chorus
Ibanez SC10
Arion SCH-Z Stereo Chorus (EWS Mod)
Arion SCH-Z (Stock)

Back in my MP-1 days in a previous band, I had a patch that featured the MP-1 Chorus along with an additional Chorus from the Intellifex fx processor.  The two Chorus' (Chori? lol) were set differently from each other; one had a wide slow sweep, the other a slightly narrower and slightly faster sweep.  The two fx would "weave" around each other and "crash" into each other somewhat randomly, and it was AWESOME.  We did a few Type O Negative covers back then, and I used this patch for all those leads.

Ok, here's one setup I did a long time ago that sounded really cool:

   I used my MP-1 Classic with a Chorus setting, then in the effects loops, I used one S-1000 in each set to a Chorus effect also, both set to slightly different rates and depths. This Tri-Chorus effect is something that came in my Eventide H-3000, so I duplicated it with my ADA gear. It makes for very rich and thick sounding Strat rhythm tones. Then for a lead tone, I added a slow deep Flanger and some Delay With a couple more S-1000's.

    A very complicated sounding, but rich tone
