The Ibanez FLL Flanger is a vintage flanger pedal made by Ibanez during 1985 and 1986 as part of the company's Master Series range1. It has never been reissued, so any example a player finds today is a forty-year-old original1.
History and versions
The FLL belongs to Ibanez's Master Series L range, and ToneHome records its production period as 1985 to 19861. That places it in the mid-1980s stretch when Ibanez was selling several flangers at once, including the Ibanez FL9 and the Ibanez FL-303 Flanger from other series.
The FLL is a flanger, and everything on this page describes that one effect type1.
Price and collectibility
ToneHome gives the FLL's original list prices as 314 DM in 1985 and $140 USD in 19861. The site rates the pedal's collectibility as average and its availability as average, meaning examples turn up with some regularity rather than being rare museum pieces1.
