Harley Benton Classic Flanger

I couldn't find out which pedal this flanger is trying to simulate but it sounds gooooood. Even though it is a relabled very cheap pedal (Joyo) "it has some realy good tones in it" as the famous guitar players (endorsers) would say.
Subtle on clean tones and not as flexible as other flangers but compared to classic flangers like the MXR 117 it is noiseless!
One lesson I learned in the last years is that cheap doesn't mean bad sounding.

This pedal is rock solid. The footswitch is actualy a true-bypass switch and not just a small and easy to destroy button soldered to the pcb like they use in Boss style pedals. Solid construction and a good sound - what do you need more?

If you want an easy to use subtle flanger get this one. If you want more flexibility (more extreme settings) get the "old" HB FL100 which is also a relabled cheap flanger. If you want even more flexibility and spend a little bit more money (but stay in the low price region) get the Mooer ElecLady which is a very good "copy" of a EHX Mistress.

PS: There is no information about the trim pots inside the box and I did not tinker around with them... maybe I should.

The Classic Flanger is great value for money. Depending on the settings you choose, it can function not just as a flanger, but also as a chorus and a phaser. Those are very good options.
The pedal is of a sturdy metal construction, which is excellent even for those who are only playing at home. No risk of breaking the thing when stepping on the switch which would probably happen if it was all plastic.
As for the sound...
It's very analog (in a good way; can't say if the circuit has any digital components).
Want a subtle chorus? A rotating speaker? An out of control phaser? An Eddie Van Halen flanger? It's all here, just move the controls around. The Classic Flanger sounds great together with either a fuzz, distortion or overdrive. Or even on its own. Combine it with a phaser and a chorus and you'll get some totally weird and wonderful sounds.

Buy one. Now. Or better, buy two.

I took a chance and bought this pedal to try it for playing bass as none of the reviews mentioned if it was any good for this. I am happy to say that it works great. It looks great and everything about it feels rock solid and well built. The signal loses a very small amount of bottom end frequency but is easily compensated for with a tiny EQ adjustment. Although very reasonable, it probably doesn't have an extreme range of flanging adjustments compared to more expensive models but for my purposes it's perfect and for 30 euros there is no room for complaint whatsoever. Another couple of good points is that I can notice no drop or lift in the overall signal volume and the pedal added absolutely no extra background noise in the chain. I have also found it to work particularly well with my (bass) overdrive pedal.
So long as you are not looking for wild outlandish insane flanging, then the sounds this pedal can deliver should put a smile on your face. This one has definitely found a permanent place on my board. 100% recommended!

I bought this one directly from the Thomann store after I had tried a variety of effects. Classic Flanger looks really good, having a decent amount of controllers, so I decided to give it a go. It sounds surprisingly good, especially considering the low price. For less money the Harley Benton Classic Flanger provides the same quality as some more expensive, similar pedals. Not the best flanger I've ever heard, but far from sounding cheap or not having enough controllers. I tried all the knobs and I liked the fact that it goes a bit beyond classical flanger range, not just offering the well-known and overused simple flange sound that I remember from older models from other developers.
