The Ibanez JL-70 Jetlyzer is a rare and innovative vintage modulation pedal from the late 1970s, built in Japan during the golden era of Ibanez effects. Unlike a standard flanger, the Jetlyzer combines sweeping phase and flanger-style movement with a distinctive jet-engine effect and a filter section, producing dramatic and psychedelic modulation textures. Its unique sonic character and bold design have made it one of the most collectible and unusual Ibanez pedals of its time.
Controls include Phase Speed, Feedback Depth, Jet Mixing, and Jet Tone. Phase Speed sets the rate of modulation, from slow, spacey sweeps to fast, warbling movement. Feedback Depth determines the intensity and resonance of the phasing effect. Jet Mixing blends the signature “jet” sound into the overall signal, while Jet Tone shapes the character of the jet effect, ranging from dark and heavy to bright and cutting. Together, these parameters offer a wide tonal palette, from subtle motion to roaring, jet-powered sweeps.
This unit has been serviced for optimal performance, ensuring it runs reliably and sounds as intended. The original capacitors are preserved and stored inside the pedal in a small bag, making it an excellent choice for both players and collectors who value authenticity alongside functionality.
The JL-70 Jetlyzer exemplifies Ibanez’s experimental spirit, offering sounds far beyond conventional chorus, phaser, or flanger pedals. Today it is highly sought after by collectors, sound designers, and adventurous musicians who want a modulation effect that is as bold as it is musical.
