I'm gonna stan the BF-2 here because although it can sound a bit thin/metallic compared to other analog flangers, this can be remedied with the Fromel mod (which I highly recommend), and otherwise it stacks really well, is fairly low noise for a flanger, and can do some weird shit with the resonance trimpot :rock:

I do wanna try that new Supro, but most new analog flangers don't feel like very good value for money and the digital ones don't really scratch the itch for me.

Hmm I'm intrigued about that mod I'll look into it, I've become a bit bored with my BF-2 (though it is great at what it does).

Well, I am looking for an analog flanger, which compared to the current state of stompboxes is a more than obsolete concept, soo, obsolete advices are welcome!
Moog MF Flange was one of the first things I looked into but nowadays they're super hard to find, and super expensive too.
I'll just go the BF2 way when the time (cash) comes.

Yeah I love mine but would never have paid $400 USD for one. The BF-2 is dope.

This DOD FX65 clone had some mod done to it to get some t0f sounds of it which sounds pretty exciting. They could have added afeedback knob tho :poke:

Summers was mainly EHX (non-Deluxe) Electric Mistress for chorus.

Andy is PGS Andy as I've got it. Dave is John Fruiscante for some reason? It just inverts the dry signal which is kind of an oddly rare feature

:trippy:

(inverted outs for pseudo stereo seemed an almost popular thing for chorii back in the day, but, yeah - usually hard-wired somehow, not on a switch - tho maybe the switch here is moreso to flip the normally inverted signal back for some reason? :idk: )
