Here's a quick video of everyone's favorite flange pedal.... I can't think of anything else to say... so I'll just link to the video.

Great review. I actually just received one that I won on ebay today from DHL. Mine is made in taiwan with an orange label but doesn't seem very different from yours. Now I am going to try out those settings.

Can't access the site (@$&^$ work filters!)

But I tried both the BF-2 and the BF-2B and passed on them. The Bass model was too subtle and the reg just didn't have the sound I was seeking.

I'm loving my Electric Mistress! I also have a Rocktron Hypnotic Flange that is pretty cool, but I haven't had the time to really wring it out, that's about to change!

You sound really excited, man

It's good to see you around here again, BTW.

But can you see me?

Hmm, I have the white knob version (and Justin has the white knob) and its probably just my EQ but it sounds a little more metallic...

I'll get on some sound clips shortly...again, probably my EQ...

SpankyPants · #10 02-12-2008, 06:16 PM

Skeletons don't have eyeballs, you ass. Thanks for rubbing that in my face... again.

But yeah, I've been so busy lately. I work 10 hours a day M-F along with 13 hours of class. Soon I'm getting a waiting job, so I should have more time to play!

Yeah, I think the white-knob version is Taiwan-made. I have the black-label Japanese version.

Spanky - what setting do you normally use. I found that Manual at 12 o'clock, Depth at 1 o'clock, Rate at 11 o'clock, and Regeneration at 12 o'clock gives you a nice flanging effect. Also if you turn the regeneration to max, and all the others to min, you get an insane effect that words can't describe. Overall, I think my flanging needs will be satisfied forever with this pedal.

I sold a Taiwan BF-2 a couple weeks back...

Doesn't sound as nice as the Japanese ver. It is metallic sounding, why I sold it. Added an annoying trebly tinge that didn't please my ears at all.

Now I want Jap. BF-2.

Thanks a lot Spanky!

My favorite was Manual 12 o'clock (sometimes lower), Depth 9, Rate 3, and Regen at 12. Nice slow flange. I don't know why I'm such a fan of thick, slow sleeps - even with phasers. Just my cup of tea, I guess.

So what's your excuse the rest of the time?

Hey Spanks. How's things?

SpankyPants · #17 02-12-2008, 07:03 PM

Well, the rest of the time I use my nostrils to store baby kangaroos.

Other than this bug that I'm wrestling with, I've actually been doing quite well. Back in school - been busy as hell. Got a car again... it's a beater that's falling apart, but it's wheels!

Oh, and the other day I ran into my ex's old roommate (the one who was there on the morning that my ex said I broke in), and she said that she'd corroborate my story! I was gonna post about it in the big thread, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. This'll blow a HUGE hole in her story.

How's '08 treating ya?

Wouldn't a thick slow flange be more like depth 3 o'clock and rate 9 o'clock?

Yeah... that's uh.... yeah... that's what I said....

(I've really got to learn how to tell time..)

Spanky it's good to see/hear/read you again. I love me a slow sweep too, I keep the rate knobs turned all the way down on chorus and phaser but somehow flange just makes my skin crawl.
