moreAgain, from the Tone King video on Jeordie's effects and amps. The fact that he is using a BF-3 can be seen by the presence of a second, unused, stereo output jack on the left side of the pedal (which, interestingly, the output being used is the Output B, instead of the mono Output A).

moreThe Chrous, Super Flanger, and Bass Overdrive pedals are mostly used for noise and interludes during Full Of Hell's live sets. Hazard has used the flanger on “Bone Coral” from Rudiments. These pedals were all also used on the Merzbow collab in non-conventional ways. Hazard had the flanger and super chorus running through a contact mic, which He then taped it to a cymbal for one track and to a floor tom for another.

moreBuilding on the 20-year legacy of the famous BOSS BF-2, the new BF-3 flanger pedal gives guitarists and bassists an updated version of the classic BOSS flanger with the thickest stereo flanging sounds ever. Two new modes (Ultra and Gate/Pan) create stereo flanging with incredible depth--even Slicer-type effects and sounds that seem to "swirl" around the listener. An instant classic.
BOSS discontinued the analogue BF-2, which formed the basis of the classic Robert Smith guitar sound, in the early 2000s, and they replaced it with this. I suppose they were trying to update the pedal for a new Millennium. And yes, it's got more options; a standard mode, an Ultra mode, a slicing/pan mode, it's stereo, and it'll take a bass, and there's a momentary switch so you can add the effect at certain points only, and....
...and it doesn't sound anything like as good as the BF-2. This is a digital flange effect with none of the mystery, depth and vibe of its predecessor. Just get that instead.
Does everything I want it to, is easy to use, never breaks or craps out! The tap function on this one works really well, I can use it mid song without any major difficulties. Nice to have the stereo option too.
Versatile flanger effect, but not a personal favorite. I took it out from my pedalboard
It's one of those pedals you kind of like to have and like to use but not too much because you really can't fit it in every song. But I like the waves it makes, so... nice.
The BF-3 is a great digital flanger that is easy to set up (given you play around with the settings for an hour maybe first). The buffer in the BF-3 can cut a bit of your highs off in the clean sound, but with overdrive and distortions you wouldn't notice it, I recommend throwing the BF-3 in the amps effects loop or even putting it in a true bypass loop to protect your 'Tone'. I played through other flanger pedals and this one is the one that can do Flanging and other modulation effects the best! the gate/pan mode can be used as a Tremolo in mono and sorta a Uni-vibe in stereo amp setups. the ultra mode is great for wacked out Flanging. But the Standard mode and momentary mode (which is standard mode with, well the momentary application) is where this pedal sits better for my application, if you set the 'Res' knob low and the 'Rate' knob high you can easily get chorus sounds, even Phaser with the right settings. If you're unsure where to start with your modulation pedal search, I recommend the BF-3 or any flanger with (a manual knob which is essentially the delay time), even if flanger isn't your thing, you can cop some other modulation pedal sounds from this one effect alone.
Its...a flanger. I got this hoping it would be a good replacement for my DOD FX-75B (the footswitch on it bothers me and mine produces audible flanging even being the only ON pedal and with the guitar muted). It definitely works as advertised, but not the way I wanted. Unlike the sound I go for, this flanger sounds a bit more...."on top" of the sound rather than "integrated with" the sound. The bass option is a good perk though; having failed to replace my DOD on my guitar board, this ended up actually expanding my bass board. Which in turn made me get more serious about bass.
I guess it fits other people's styles, but until I find the circuit I want in a flanger, its a standby.
This pedal have been on most pedalboards out there... I grew up seeing lots of players, both guitarists and bassists, using this pedal. It sounds amazing, and compared to the BF-2 (which I have owned before) it gives you more options to fine tune your effect. I love the "Momentary" function, specially to emphasize some phrases during solos.
An amazing effects pedal! It takes a bit of time to find the sound you want but it's well worth it.
BF-3 is a pretty rad little guy.. does its job, stays out of trouble, yeah.
Has so many ways to adjust it and it is still fairly easy to use
in a battle between this vs mxr flanger this loses but only just so in my mind best have both :)
I'm happy with this pedal and its new options, in general a very simple and good pedal.
very usefull flanger with a lot of sound possibilities. no problems with it like with some old analog flangers
Early birthday present in 2018. Changed bass playing for me. Justin Chancellor. Forty-Six and 2. Incredible.
It was my first guitar pedal. Same as with the Green Russian, not used on the Adventures of Bail Seaweed tracks, but on everything else with flanger I use it.
a great pedal if you want versatility- maybe a little cold for some tastes
Im strictly Boss pedals with some exceptions like whammy pedals. This along with every Boss pedal I've ever bought has been amazing.

see, their updated phaser is a great pedal, totally unappreciated, awesome new features! but who sues an 80s boss phaser anyway? When i think phasing I don't think of Boss. But the BF2 was so iconic they shoulda made it until the end of time, unchanged.
Yes, I've noticed how good the PH-3 sounds on demos online. It can offer some truly 21st Century phasing effects with its upwards and downwards modes and its step filter. It can also do a sort of almost pseudo wah on lead lines if you crank the resonance. I think that might be my next BOSS pedal, actually, as it makes a change to the MXR/Small Stone thing, and no-one is really using the PH-3, so it's a good way of sounding different. Graham Coxon's got one though: he knows!
its a little killer, got oen a little after it came out after my friend's little brother let me try his. He got one just because he was into all thigns Boss but iw as like "step LFO!"
usually modern Boss is badly retreading their glorious past, crunching out qulity budget boxes and making abd simualtions of Roland branded FX but there are a few recent jems like the PH3 and that insane Slicer pedal that remind me how good Boss can be
