Just hit the compressor and then the boost, that should do something I would guess. Boost at pre and compression at minimum and then hit the level control so its not 100 percent at unity if possible and then the sansamp should drive when you hit the boost I would hasard that guess anyhow.
I am still waiting to get one as theres a few things in the works rite now that at present I cant plop the money down but soon, soon, soon I shall.

Does this thing have an FX loop? Doesn't look like it -- it'd be perfect if it did so you could add delay or reverb

Anyone figure out how to use it with an MP3 player or pipe in audio from your PC to jam along with songs?
It isn't meant at all to achieve this so you will need an entirely device in which to feed the BFR and the MP3.
That of get another multi that has a line in for this specific purpose.
I sold the BFR by the way. My main disappointment was the impossibility to get a high enough internal gain to properly trigger the filter and the drive without activating the comp. Now contemplating a Q strip and a Zoom B3n.

Do any of you flyrig owners miss not having a blend on the sansamp section? Is there any noticeable low end loss with the overdrive really kicked in?
I don't miss it at all. In my head, the Flyrig works like an amp and I treat it like one. If it's pushed into overdrive, the whole sound is overdriven, like in a real amp. I haven't noticed any low end loss (but on the other hand, I'm no low end junkie to start with).
I never felt like a blend was needed. It's based on the VT that reacts very differently from a BDDI.
I ended up saying farewell to my BFR as well. Back to my trusty sansamp and pedal board full of pedals. I miss the ease of getting a fuzz tone that worked for me. Back to playing with my Red Ripper to achieve it.
I went the opposite way. Fried one, shopped around, came back to the BFR. Got the replacement the other day, and felt like 'home'. Happily tooling along with the BFR again.
So...I picked up a BFR used. I liked the idea of having a compressor, basic eq, and tuner all on one small pedal. The octafilter part I looked at as just an extra bonus.
However, I'm finding the sansamp sounds like it has a low-pass filter engaged that is chopping off a lot of the upper frequencies. Is that the difference between the VT-based sansamp in the BFR and something like a BDDI? There's parts of the BFR sansamp sound I like but I really miss the sparkle/sheen from the upper frequencies.
