..........and I LOVE it. Picked up a Boss BF-2 on the cheap and really dig it. I either used effects for a real subtle, you barely know it's on, effect or a really heavy, what is that?, effect.

I've found that I like it set for subtle chorusing effect more that any chorus pedal I've ever owned. It sounds huge. Very spacious.

Anyway, I just found it fascinating that after all these years I picked one up and really love it.

And, why is it that after all these years and all the boutique pedals that I've owned that everything I have these days is Boss and MXR? Of course my boost pedals are high end, but modulation is all Boss and MXR. Crazy. :thumbsup:
 
I did exactly the same thing... MIJ BF2... 1st flanger after 25 or so years of playing... LOL! :D

I love that thing. How do I know where mine is made? Not that it really matters. It sounds great.

Does it have a label underneath? I think the black and green ones are MIJ.

It has a black label but says made in Taiwan. Doesn't matter. :no:

Probably the same thing. I never compared them.

That's the only one I have as well. I don't use it much but when I need to it does the job well.


I have a MIJ Boss Flanger but i really want the Strymon Orbit Flanger. That thing sounds awesome.

 
If we're posting a want list, this is what I really want. This pedal sounds ridiculous!

 
I got rid of all my modulation for a flanger too. I love it. I was using it as a subtle chorus but now im using it as a uni vibe type sound. Im rockin a BYOC Flanger :rock:
 
flanging is my favorite effect. i've had a few, and they're all different.

i've had: hbe frostbite, ibanez airplane (paul gilbert), mxr 117

have: 2 ada flangers, boss bf-3

the boss flanger is killer. yes, it sounds digital and processed, but i like the fact that it sounds like a synth vs. the analog sounds. it's cheap enough to keep around and really cuts for the unchained thing.

here's one that's pretty killer, but $$ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE4OHIpU ... re=related

I swing both ways when it comes to analog/digital. I like both. I subscribe to one isn't better than the other. Just different.

I dig that Frostbite because it does all the tripped out stuff as well as a standard flange/chorus effect. :thumbsup:

Ibanez DFL :rock:

Just watched a YT video of that flange. Very strange and interesting flange tones. Cool stuff!
