About this product

Product Information

The Boss BF-3 flanger guitar effect pedal is ideal for guitarists and bassists because of the wide range of tones that it can produce. The flanger effect pedal is an essential part of taking the original sound from the recording studio to the stage on a nightly basis. It has various controls and tap tempo for maximum customization capabilities. The Boss BF-3 has a bypass switch that allows you to keep the tone of your dry signal without worrying about it being altered in the signal chain. These stompboxes harnessed the power and circuitry of the classic BF-2 and improved the design to produce a versatile, user-friendly flange machine. This stompbox has two different inputs: one for bass and the other for guitar. Both accept standard quarter-inch inputs. There are also outputs for a mono or stereo signal that can work with multiple amps or with other devices. The far-left knob maintains the master volume or the resonance, which controls the presence of higher frequencies. The depth knob switches how deep the flanger is, which lets you make the flanger’s sound either hardly noticeable or extremely prominent in the mix. The rate controls the speed of the flange, although you can also use the tap tempo feature for extremely precise speed controls. There are three different modes: ultra, standard, and gate/pan. The ultra and gate/pan controls make it possible to incorporate slicer-type sounds into your music and to experiment with different rhythms. When going through all three, these can be used to create swirling effects, ambient sounds, stereo-sonic pans, or digitally rendered experimental timbres.The Boss BF-3 effects pedal can be powered by a 9-volt battery or 9-volt PSA-series AC power adapter. The LED, which illuminates when the device is active and flashes the speed at which you're playing when you’re using the tap function, will dim if the battery is low. To replace the battery, loosen the screw at the bottom of the footswitch to open the compartment. The unit has a nominal input and output level of -20 decibels. It has an input impedance of one mega-ohm and an output impedance of one kilo-ohm. It has a recommended load impedance of 10 kilo-ohms or greater. The delay time can range from 0.3 to 14.4 milliseconds with the guitar input and from 0.3 to 6.3 milliseconds with the bass input. The LFO speed ranges from 100 milliseconds to 18 seconds. The flange also has a current draw of 40 milli-amps.Other accessories you can incorporate with this pedal are quarter-inch patch cables to connect with other nearby devices. These effects pedals are extremely versatile pieces of gear, and they can work with all kinds of other pedals, including chorus and phaser stompboxes. In addition to guitars and basses, you can also use keyboards with this Boss pedal as well. Take your musical creativity to the next level and experiment with all sorts of innovative soundscapes with one of these Boss BF-3 flangers.

    Great price and even better sound

    I play more electric acoustic guitar than electric and the Boss Flanger adds a lot of depth to my electric acoustic guitars. I had one years ago but lost it in a fire, I’m glad I found this great deal for an open box unit on EBAY.

  • Flange in Stereo!

    My Boss BF-3 Flanger arrived today and I thought I'd write a quick review after testing it out a bit. Looks and Build: 8/10 Well it's just a standard boss stompbox in a sort of lavender colour which I think looks cool. The build seems sturdy enough. Once again it's a standard boss pedal. It'll do it's job I'm sure. Features: 9/10 4 control knobs, one of which being a double control and the on/off switch can set tap tempo and can also be used as a momentary hold. The pedal has 4 modes... Standard, Ultra(just a souped up standard really), Momentary, and Gate/Pan. The latter mode being a gate/pan in stereo and a bit like a delay/tremelo when in mono. Yeah, it's stereo out as well. Which is cool considering it's quite cheap. The other knobs are ...

  • Found exactly whay I was shopping for.

    I was looking to buy a Boss brand flanger as a Bass Effects Pedal. This product far exceedes my expectations! The pedal, also is an upgrade to my previously owned Flanger. The BF-3 modle, allows me expanded varriables in my application. Such as; mono or stereo output, as well as guitar frequecy input rather than my standard bass input. Beyond that, this flanger is equpted with a selector mode dial, producing (gate pan and ultra frequency modes in addition to the standard flanged frequency mode). I am a seasoned bass player, more so by experience than proffessional accomplishment, still the same I realy enjoy the result a quality flanger produces. By applying this particular effect, the result(for my taste) is a much broader range of music capability. Whether I'm jammin at home on my ...

  • Boss BF-3: Great pedal, great design, very very reliable with power supply.

    AH, the Boss BF-3 Flanger! This pedal can do any and all flange effect plus it has a gate/pan mode which is really cool new feature which can literally turn the flanger's sound into somewhat like a Tremolo. With the pedal hooked up in stereo, not only does it sound like a tremolo, it also sounds Stereoscopic and it will pan between speakers. It also features the ability to mimic a chorus pedal as well. One of the reasons I bought this pedal was because Adam Jones of Tool uses the BF-2 and this one is pretty much the same as the BF-2, Sound-wise but it also has the new mode feature. All in all this pedal is absolutely excellent. One last thing, this pedal works best with a power supply (Boss PSA-120). It eats batteries something fierce. If you have multiple pedals buy the boss adapter ...

  • Very good pedal.

    Very nice. I owned a Boss BF-2 flanger in the mid-eighty's. The BF-3 is ten times better. I'm a better guitar player now, this pedal is a must for shoegazer's and trip hop, and doom metal players alike. Very controller friendly, easy to use, and has a multitude of sounds of which are simple to manipulate. I simply patch cord it into an Ibanez DM1000 delay rack processor, and another delay, chorus, and reverb pedals, and flange the hell out of it. It does not matter what kind of electric guitar ya got, it sounds nice. However, amplifiers do matter. One small cabnet with 2 2x10's celestion speakers will do the trick. Yeah a good pedal.
