Add Unmistakable Bucket-Brigade Flanging and Delay from a ’70s Icon

The MXR Flanger/Doubler plug-in gives you the glorious sound of this analog modulation processor that adds unique movement and depth to any source. From whooshing flange effects to subtle filter and delay textures, the MXR Flanger/Doubler plug-in is officially licensed by Dunlop Manufacturing. We've expertly emulated the original hardware’s colorful, almost lo-fi-sounding “bucket-brigade” circuit, giving you everything from subtle thickening to whacked-out sci-fi effects, all with a unique texture and tone that has never been truly captured — until now.

What They Say

The MXR stuff is great, it's so basic with just a few of knobs and buttons, but the sound that comes out is so satisfying. This plug-in just sounds amazing.

Carl Glanville

U2, Billy Joel, Counting Crows

The MXR Flanger/Doubler plug-in is fantastic — just like the original, but with no background noise.

Mick Glossop

Frank Zappa, Van Morrison, UFO

The UAD MXR brought me right back to the 'analog delay' era — and now that you can use it in stereo is beyond fantastic!

    Cool Stuff

    Long time ago I wanted one of these when I got my first Tascam multi-track, but just couldn’t afford all the toys…..fast forward 40-50 years thanks Universal Audio. The plug-in sounds great works well and your software/hardware sure does make retirement a whole lot fun.

    The MX Flanger Doubler: Breathing Life into Breakbeats

    s someone who enjoys creating and shaping sounds, I can truly appreciate a tool that elevates a track. The MX Flanger Doubler does exactly that, particularly when you want a specific element, like a breakbeat sample, to jump out of the mix.

    * Ease of Use: ★★★★★

    This effect processor is incredibly intuitive. Dialing in the perfect amount of flange or doubling to create movement and presence is a breeze. It's the kind of plugin where you can quickly get results without getting lost in endless parameters, allowing you to stay focused on the creative flow.

    * Sound Quality: ★★★★★

    The sound quality is simply superb. The flanging is rich and dimensional, providing that classic "whoosh" or subtle swirl that can add so much character. The doubling effect fattens up the sound beautifully, giving your samples a newfound weight and width. It's clean, impactful, and truly enhances the audio without introducing unwanted artifacts.

    * Applicability: ★★★★★

    While I focused on using it for a breakbeat sample, the MX Flanger Doubler's versatility is remarkable. It excels at adding depth and movement to guitars, vocals, synths, or even entire tracks. For making a specific element "stand out," as you described, it's a perfect fit. It allows that element to have its own space and presence, drawing the listener's ear without overwhelming the rest of the mix. It's a go-to for adding that extra something special.
