Looking for a good affordable Flanger.

I used to own and enjoy the mooer electric lady. Sturdy construction, warm tones, simple interface.

If you want an affordable (<$100) flanger that sounds like a classic flanger, [to the ears of someone who never owned the original] then this is a great choice.

That said, I've had my eyes on a SA Orbital Modulator for months. Based on the demos I've heard, it can do way more than any flanger I've ever heard, and that's only considering the 3 flanger voices it offers. If you acknowledge the other mod voices, it clearly becomes the number 1 modulation multi effect with the greatest ease of programming, customer support, affordability, and size.

You get what you pay for. I liked the mooer for the price and sound. I want Orbital for the price and sound. Choose your destiny.
 
I used to own (and LOVE) the Rocktron Hypnotic Flange, and it was AWESOME with lots of very wacky "Haunted House" type sounds. These days I go with the VERY cheap Joyo Classic Flanger and am very happy with it.
