Re: mxr flanger vs mxr EVH flanger
I have the micro flanger as well, and it's definitely easy to dial up late 70s/early 80s rock tones.
To address the question of transparency: the unit is certainly transparent when bypassed but when engaged will make your tone VERY BRIGHT. I thought it was much too bright when used with alnico speakers. In a darker ceramic speaker (Eminence Wizard or Fane Crescendo in my case), it sounds brilliant.
