With a circuit based around the Panasonic MN3207 analog IC chip (now out of production), the FL-3 offers all the warmth and range of the original tape flanging effects without the need for multi-track tape machines. In addition the FL-3 offers an interesting twist: An asymmetrical sweep pattern that adds a more "human" feel to the flanging effect. The FL-3's sweep speed is slower going up to the peak frequency and faster coming off, giving it a slightly uneven, "whiplash" type effect unlike any other Flanger pedal.

The FL-3 also has a 3-position Resonance switch that adjusts the intensity of the flanging effect. In Position I rich chorus and vibrato effects can be attained by adjusting the Rate and Depth controls. Position II provides a warm, full-bandwidth flange while position 3 offers the radical, thick, jet-like sweeps that made this effect famous.
