edit: more like, I wish there was a more pared down version fo the chase bliss pedal that did the whole modulating the zero point thing.
Yeah the spectre is very cool indeed but I couldn't really justify keeping it. While I like that complicated stuff on occasion what I really want is a flanger that just sounds pretty ok. Which it does, but my brain hates seeing this complicated thing not getting used "to its potential"
I’ve never been a flange user or abuser but I love me some oversaturated dripping wet effects and the EQD Pyramids was really nice when I got to plug into one and put it through some paces.
Tried a buncha fancy flangers that were covered with controls and switches...
Turned out I was just after basic thick chewy flange sounds without all the unmusical trippy sci-fi noises, and nothing could beat my old Boss BF-2 at that

can anyone comment on major differences between BF2 & BF3?

I've never directly compared the standard mode on the BF3 with the BF2, but it's a good standard mode. Someone here mentioned preferring the BF3's standard mode over the BF2, but I can't remember who. It's a very clean flange which makes it good on broadband sources like synths. The ultra mode is really thick, I like it a lot more than I thought I would. The gate mode is interesting I guess but not something I would use often, but I haven't had a chance to try that mode in stereo to get the panning flange; I've heard it's really cool. Momentary mode is fun for placing weird little accents while you're playing--it always starts the LFO at the same place, which you may or may not like. I don't really use flange on bass but I tested the bass input and it does a great job of keeping low bass frequencies unaffected. Because it's so clean and broadband, it can get really harsh when you crank up the resonance--with flangers I only crank the resonance when I specifically want an obnoxious sound so that works for me, but it's worth mentioning if you're not an annoying asshole like me.
I still prefer my Moog Flange but if I were gigging I would use the BF-3 on my board.

yeah I agree with all of this, I think the "standard" mode is supposed to cover the BF-2 with extra range on every parameter.
