A/DA's legendary Flanger Pedal has been reissued for 2009/10 and I thought I'd compare the past with the present.
Guitars used:
Fender American Deluxe SSH Stratocaster
Epiphone Les Paul Standard
Pedals:
1979 A/DA Flanger
2010 A/DA Flanger
Cables:
DiMarzio
Amp:
Peavey Classic 50
Enjoy!
But the brand new reissue are more expensive about $250, the old vintage you can find them about $150.....

No big difference. If there is a difference (which it probobly is cuz component values change over time) it's not worth to pay all that extra money for a vintage. BTW your reissue will sound almost like the old when it gets old. :-)

Question: Can a Flanger and a Uni-vibe type pedal be interchanged or at least get that same "Hendrix" sound from a Flanger? I'm tring to figure out the differences in sound between vibes, flangers, phasers and chorus.....they kind of all have a similar quality.....I've been playing for years and years but have never used much of those effects. Now I'm wanting to add them to my playing style...any suggestions would be helpful..........peace

Your amp tech/repair guy can easily make the voltage controller pedal for one of these out of an old dead cry baby wah. I had one made for mine....it is basically set up like a "balance" potentiometer, that's all I know about the technical stuff, but for about $20 worth of parts you can have a controller pedal for it....the original ones are all but impossible to find these days, and the controller pedal is one of the things that makes these so versatile and special...

Have you tried vintage pedals? Most modern guitar players wouldnt be satisfied with them at all.. they are very different and much more primitive then modern pedals.

I have the new one and I'm not completely satisfied... and for what this thing costs I should be thrilled

@bwork65 The original one has the power supply internal. Just a AC cord comes out of the unit

Somebody gave me one of the '79 models, had no idea how desireable these are. Mine is working a little fuzzy but I am definitely gonna have to get it working properly after seeing so many cool vids on it.

Original sounds "chewier" (and thus more desirable).
