The Newest Effects on the Block
Say hello to the Mangler, one of Kurzweil's two low-cost effects processors. Based on the award winning KDFX technology found in the KSP8 and K2600, this single space rack unit packs a powerful punch at an affordable price.
The Mangler focuses on effects other than, but not excluding, reverb, featuring chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, rotary speaker, panner, delay, filters, LaserVerb(tm), Pitcher(tm), synth trigger, ring mod, distortion, and compression effects, and many combinations.
