Good for a Raw Rough Tone with Fuzz
This a good looking, sturdy, affordable flanger that may not quite stack up to flangers that are 5 times more expensive in terms of versatility, but it works great in conjunction with a fuzz box to give a really scathing sound, which is what I'm using it for. I set the speed nearly to max, the depth a little over a quarter, and the resonance just barely on, and man, this thing gives a very hard-edge grinding tone that I'm finding perfect for the Grunge/Punk type stuff I'm working on.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No? It's a Nady
$35 thats what I paid for this pedal.So we must look @ other pedals in this price range.Your choices are not very promising.Danelectro Fab Flanger. $15 piece of steaming hot dung.Behringer Flange pedal. Never bought any of their produts.Never will.Than there's Joyo. I own a few Joyo pedals. Nothing special, they do have a metal housing & true bypass always a plus.Then there's the Nady. It is made of plastic. Seems pretty solid better than the Dano & Behringer.Pots are metal & solid & the way the pedal is shaped your not likely to stomp on them.Supposedly the original signal flows through the pedal unaltered. (true bypass)I'm not sure if that is the case. It doesn't mess w/the signal & it plays nice w/the rest of my true bypass pedals.Something that the Dano & Behringer will not do.I really can't compare it to the Joyo other than it is smaller but not by much. So it will take up less of that valuable real estate on the pedal board.Sounds decent but it's not going to replace your classic flanger from the 80'sIt does provide a wide range of sound from swirling to sonic.It's a good pedal for anyone on a budget. From beginner to seasoned vetran.Best of all it comes in any colour you want as long as it's orange.Oh yeah it's negative - center so it uses a standard power supply & fits nice in any daisy chain.

low gain and bassy / I like it after mod
I bought the TA-40 tube amp simulator because of its low price and because I was curious to hear the difference between pre amp and power amp based distortion. After using this pedal my conclusion is that the `tube amp simulator' thing is a marketing gimmick. I would describe the TA-40 as a dark sounding distortion pedal with little gain or sustain. The tone knob gives you the typical treble bass roll off. And despite what the item description says this pedal doesn't get anywhere near "crushing distortion". I only use it to push other distortion pedals, I would have returned it if it was expensive.UPDATE- I switched out all the stock diodes and replaced them with germanium 1n270s. I am really happy with the way it sounds now. At low volume settings the pedal sounds like a thick Distortion Plus, and when you dime all three knobs it sounds similar to an EQD Monarch (to my ears anyway).

Short life span
Worked great, sounded cool for a few days, then quit working. Power light switches on and off but no difference in sound regardless of settings. Will be returning for a refund and going with a different brand.

creamy like dunlop pedals
This pedal is amazing for the price. All nady pedals are great for the novice to the pro players. They are sleepers in the pedal world for sure. This is an analog pedal also ! I compare all pedals to dunlop and wld not keep this item unless it gave me that creamy dunlop sound !

Quality Flange
This Flanger pedal delivers a warm and buttery sound. Nothing overwhelming. Very 70's sounding. None of that metal sound that other Flanger pedals produce. Only downside, this pedal is pretty big. Consider that if space on your pedal board is limited.

A cheap little pedal- not made the best (durability wise- I'm guessing due to feel
A cheap little pedal- not made the best (durability wise- I'm guessing due to feel.) it's a little small, and I miss my BOSS 2... but it gets the job done and is very affordable.
