Ibanez CF7

[WhoFan]

on my little gig thing i did today i added an Ibanez CF7 Chorus/Flanger thing that i bought used for cheap and never use... It's not a great chorus and it's not a great flanger... sure does some weird noises if you want it to...

but what i found it was amazing at is sustain!!! It was like a Comp almost but better at it... i had it set up with almost no sweep to it and i turned it on with my Vox Satch pedal for solos only... it made it ring out into great feedback and sustain forever...

sure is not a Chorus or Flanger worth a dam but has it's use that way!!!

The thing with this pedal is that you'd get a unit where one is better than the other. My first one (which my youngest sister owns nowadays) has a better chorus, and mine's has the better flanger.

I just wished this unit has a footswitch option to change from chorus to flanger, and the Normal to Wacked mode.

In short: I love this pedal!

I have a 7 series phaser and it is the coolest phaser I've ever heard so this doesn't surprise me!

PH7

Overall I'd say the range for each of the knobs is what makes the pedal special. Speed goes from really really slow to almost a chorus. Depth seems like an active mid control. Feedback can make it nasty, though not really in a fuzz or distortion way. Level makes it loud (cleanly) as you want. Also has two modes of oscillation.


Not the ABSOLUTE BEST OF BEST sounding but this thing has 1000x different cool/usable tones in it.

Re: Ibanez CF7

I have a few of the Ibanez 7 series pedals. The CF7 is fun to mess around with. The chorus effect sounds kind of toyish, which I don't mind, but it sounds a lot more classy when run in stereo. Since I have other pedals for more refined sounds, the fun of the Ibanez 7s is the more wild sound effects.
