Good tone?
I've never actually tried the BF-3, but did pick up a BF-2 based on comments here. It wasn't for me, but the general assessment seems to be that the BF-2 sounds better than the BF-3. I couldn't tell you for sure.

I've owned a BF-2, and it is a great pedal. very versatile and natural, good bass response too. I've had a quick go with the BF-3 and wasn't nearly as impressed. It did the job, but didn't have the "wow" factor of the BF-2.
I picked up a BF2 and a BF2B recently and was not impressed with either, kind of cheesy imo. The polychorus flange blows it away.
The BF-2 sounds much, much better than the BF-3 (I have both). The BF-2 is definitely one of my favorite flangers.
The BF-3 has some cool tricks it can do (tap tempo, tremolo, stereo out, etc), but it really doesn't sound nearly as nice as the BF-2.

doesnt the 3 have a gated mode too? i tried one a long while ago it was cool when you plug into the gtr input. the bass input is too subtle for me.
thx for the info guys, yeah bf2 seems less complicated, i think im going to try to find one, anyone got any sites that sell them other than ebay?
