Tom Morello’s Ibanez DFL Flanger

Tom Morello seemed to have used the Ibanez DLF Flanger from around 1991 to at least around 1998. The pedal was seen during a 1993 Rage Against the Machine gig (photo below), and on one of those Guitar.com rig diagrams, this one in particular dating to the late 90s.

Tom used the Ibanez DFL Flanger throughout Rage Against the Machine’s first album. It can be heard at the very start of “Killing in the Name” – although nowadays Tom actually uses an MXR Phase 90 to play that same part live. I can be also heard on songs such as “Township Rebellion” and “Know Your Enemy”.
