Maxon
VJR9 Vintage Jet Riser
$399Reference price
A dedicated jet-sound effect that modernizes the 1970s JL70 Jetlyzer. An internally generated jet source is shaped by a VCA and VCF in response to the input signal, then mixed with the guitar through a BBD analog flanger to create the jet sound. With the jet source off, it also works as a standalone flanger.
A flanger-based jet-sound machine with a built-in jet source
A model based on the legendary JL70 Jetlyzer, rearranged for the modern day with Maxon's technology. Its defining feature is a built-in jet sound source, not just a flanger.
Combining the jet source with the flanger
An internally generated jet source is processed by a VCA and VCF that respond to the input signal level. The processed source is mixed with the guitar and passed through a BBD analog flanger to form the jet sound, from massive, deep effects hard to achieve with pedal combinations to chorus-like tremolo textures.
Use as a standalone flanger
An external footswitch toggles the jet sound on and off, and with it off the unit works as a flanger. The flanger section carries high-performance noise reduction built from a VCA and RMS level sensor, yielding clean, distortion-free flanging.
Regulated power
A DC/DC converter and internal voltage regulation keep the effect stable regardless of battery drain or AC fluctuation. It connects to an amp's effects loop, and bypass is true bypass via a 4PDT mechanical switch.
