Operational Overview
Model 126
The MXR "Model 126" Flanger/Doubler is an analog delay processor that
uses "bucket-brigade" technology to create short signal delays. The delay
time can be modulated manually, or automatically with a low frequency os-
cillator (LFO). The delayed signal can be mixed with itself in a feedback loop
("regenerated"), and its polarity can be inverted. The amount of processed
signal relative to the original signal is adjustable.
All sonics and control behaviors are authentically modeled, including the in-
herent aliasing characteristics and dry signal path coloration.
Modes
Flanger
The flanging effect in MXR Flanger/Doubler is generated by using very short
delay times whereby the delayed (wet) signal is not heard as separate from
the original (dry) signal. When this delayed signal is combined with the dry
signal, the comb filtering that is the essence of the flanging effect is gener-
ated. By modulating ("sweeping") the delay time, the response of the comb fil-
tering is modified, and the characteristic "swoosh" is produced. Additional
sonic options are possible by increasing the delayed signal feedback ("regen-
eration") to produce a deeper and more resonant effect, and/or reversing the
polarity ("invert") to give the sound a more "hollow" character.
Doubler
When in Doubler mode, all controls have the exact same functionality as
Flanger mode; the only difference is that the available delay times are longer
in this mode. The delayed signal produces a very short echo, hence a "dou-
ble" of the original signal is heard.
