Key Features
The MXR M226 Flanger/Doubler brings the legendary sound of the original MXR rack processor to your pedalboard. Recreating its all-analogue circuitry, it delivers the unmistakable flanger and doubler sounds heard on recordings throughout the '70s and '80s. From subtle movement and studio-style doubling to dramatic jet-like sweeps and layered modulation, it offers exceptional depth and flexibility. You can shape every aspect of the effect, while dedicated Flanger and Doubler modes dramatically expand its range. The M226 delivers classic character with modern convenience.
Built for creative players and demanding rigs alike, the M226 features CV input and output for seamless integration with compatible pedals, synthesisers, and modular equipment. An input level switch optimises headroom for both instrument and line-level signals, ensuring outstanding performance. The illuminated Sweep LEDs provide visual feedback of the modulation cycle, making it easy to understand how your settings interact. Packed into a rugged enclosure, the Flanger/Doubler combines vintage-inspired sound, intuitive control, and advanced connectivity.

At its heart, the M226 faithfully recreates the sound of the original MXR rack-mounted Flanger/Doubler using authentic all-analogue circuitry. It captures the lush modulation, rich harmonics, and unmistakable movement that defined countless recordings throughout the '70s and '80s. Traditional flanger sounds range from gentle shimmer to dramatic jet-engine sweeps, while the dedicated Doubler mode extends the available delay times for everything from natural double-tracking and chorus to vibrato, slapback echoes, and haunting pitch-shifted feedback. The result is a pedal that delivers iconic vintage tones while encouraging creative experimentation well beyond the original designs.
The comprehensive control layout makes shaping your sound both intuitive and rewarding. Mix blends wet and dry signals, Regen adjusts feedback intensity, Manual sets the average delay time, Width controls modulation depth, and Speed determines the sweep rate. Dedicated Doubler and Invert switches instantly unlock entirely new textures, while the illuminated Sweep LEDs provide clear visual feedback of the modulation cycle in real time. Together, these controls make it easy to dial in everything from subtle spatial enhancement to dramatic, evolving modulation that remains musical and responsive throughout its full range.
Modern connectivity makes the Flanger/Doubler equally at home on traditional pedalboards and advanced electronic setups. The CV Out sends a 0-5V signal generated by the internal LFO, allowing compatible pedals, synthesisers, and external devices to follow the pedal's modulation movement. Meanwhile, the CV In accepts external control voltage from sequencers, synths, and compatible expression controllers, bypassing the Manual, Width, and Speed controls for complete external automation. These flexible routing options transform the M226 into a powerful creative tool for players looking to synchronise modulation across multiple devices.
The M226 has been engineered to perform reliably in virtually any signal chain. An input level switch optimises gain staging for both instrument-level and line-level sources, providing increased headroom for hotter signals while maintaining low noise with guitars and basses. This flexibility makes it equally suitable for pedalboards, studio processors, keyboards, and recording equipment. Housed in MXR's robust metal enclosure and combining classic analogue tone with modern versatility, the Flanger/Doubler is built to deliver dependable performance whether you're recording, rehearsing, or performing live.
