Never seen an Electra pedal before, its the last one at the bottom of the page. Does anyone have any experience with these? I wonder if it sounds like the flanger in my Outlaw.

Just do a "Search" for 'Electra Pedal' and you'll see several Forum entries ..............

I've seen a similar one before and this appears to be legitimate;

I have several Electra pedals including the flanger pedal. The Electra pedals are high quality pedals and look very much like the Ibanez pedals. The flanger has a bit more adjustment than the MPC module and sounds great in my opinion.

The seller is correct, that era of Electra pedal is the same as the pedals known as Locobox. I don't know if they were sold in USA as Locobox, but they show up on ebay sometimes.

Here is a Loco fan site:

More info at http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/electra/500

$50 or less is a good deal on the Flanger.

I have a 605F Stereo Flanger ( as well as a distortion/od, compressor, stereo chorus and EQ) and it's a good unit. I agree with everything Mortarman has said about the Electra pedals. Solid stompboxes with good quality chips. I also agree with ultra sonic in that $50 is not out of line.

I currently have the high bid on this one on ebay...

Not as nice condition-wise as the CL one, but 100% working mojo is good enough. :up:

Pretty cool package there, includes all the original paperwork..etc. Good luck Ice. I think i'll hold off on the craigslist pedal, not really needing a flanger that much right now anyway ( i could always use the Outlaw flanger :) ). Thanks for the info as well guys. :up:
