Boss BF-2 Flanger on bass?

[FenderAmpeg]

Cool, thanks everybody. I went ahead and bought it. Was able to negotiate $55 shipped. I'm gonna go ahead and say I did okay before anybody has a chance to tell me otherwise

Late to the party here, have the 2 and 3, like the 2 better but with both less is more or really wet with a blender and mix mostly clean back in but then it's more like a phaser to me.
Well done on your negotiation too.

Got it. Love it. Thanks for the recommendations. So now I have the TU-2, OC-2, PN-2, DM-2 and BF-2 on my board. I think I'm starting to see a pattern....

Gotta say, I'm REALLY liking the BF-2. As others have stated, it's very easy to lay it on way too thick. But at very conservative settings, I feel like it's pure gold, especially for pick tone. If you turn the Res all the way down, Depth at 9, then Manual and Rate to taste, it really just ads a nice shimmer to the sound that makes it stand out in the mix in such a musical way. It also interacts really nicely with my PN-2 (also at very conservative settings).

Of course, it's been ages since I've even used Flange at all, so maybe it's just the effect in general that I like. But I do feel like this must be a pretty good one.

Indeed, Boss pedals have an undeservedly poor rep, especially on the internet

Glad you like it, I was just playing with mine about an hour ago. Definitely a keeper!

I've used that bf-2 in a million projects. It has such a cool metallic soundthat I've yet to see anyone emulate be it analog or digital

Yup. You only like pedals that have 2 caps followed by a # for names.

Kidding aside, new pedal day is always a good. Congrats on the deal.

Luckily that still leaves quite a few options

Love mine, great sound

I have BF-3 and it sounds great!! But it looks like the BF-2 sounds better?? even it does not have a Bass input? i know Simon Gallup uses the 2 and i like how he sounds, i wish i could make a tryout bf-3 vs bf-2

BF-2 is analog and BF-3 is digital. Different beasts.
I like the BF-2.
