This flanger is digital, but with analogue dry-through and true bypass.
Features missing from it's big brother (Vortex Flanger) are the optional buffered bypass, optional kill-dry, and the ability to select presets and toneprints via a fourth rotary switch. With the mini, you use whatever toneprint you have downloaded in your flanger.
The flanging effect is very good. Depending on the toneprint you use, or how extreme your settings are, you may be able to hear some minor digital artifacts. The mini flanger however is best suited for live performances, where alll these minor details will go unnoticed.
