“The “Jet Flanger & Filter Matrix JFM-100” from Coron, Japan. It was made in approx. 1980. The pedal is very rare and features an additional jet function. This is actually a very nice fuzz section, which can be used with or without the flanging effect.”
“The pedal creates a mild chorus sound to a nearly jet flanger — sound. If you mix it with the jet/distortion sound, you even get a very aggressive tone. It is pretty much a fuzz jetalyser with a switch for cutting off the jet and setting it as a filter.”
The controls:
- Filter Matrix turns the LFO wave on and off (for manual flanging = filter matrix)
- Width Shift switches between a small and bigger shift for the flanger
- Speed controls the speed/rate of the LFO wave that controls the flanger
- Width controls the depth of the LFO wave that controls the flanger
- Feedback controls the feedback/resonance of the flanger
- Jet Level controls the amount of distortion
- Normal/Flanger switches the effect on/off
- Jet On/Off turns the distortion on/off
“You can switch off the LFO (Rate=0). In this mode (Filter Matrix) you can use the unit as a filter. The unit works with two 9V block battaries or a external 18V DC power supply. Sounds incredible — mild and aggressive deep flanger sound.”
