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.

    The item arrived far quicker than I thought it would considering it was from out of country. It came very well packaged with multiple layers of bubble to keep it. The seller was also very responsive and helpful. Originally the item sold out while I was communicating with him. And he told me he would get back to me if he gets another one in stock. He was able to get one within a week gave me the heads up as he put the listing back up. Very good service!

    Very very satisfied with the product! Cane packaged very securely and product is in immaculate condition. Considering that the pedal is rare and hard to find, i am extremely happy with the product! Packaged very safely and product appears to be brand new. Seller was very communicative and updated me as my package was shipped out all the way until delivery. Would recommend this seller to anyone and would buy again myself! Thank you very much! 10/10 seller

    Item has a few minor scratches but works...

    Item has a few minor scratches but works great. It does use battery a lot faster than my old BF-2 I had back in the day so if you don't have a power source be sure to unplug the input when you're not using it. It's a very versatile pedal with lots of cool sound options.

    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.

    It's more purple than pink

    Boss builds consistently reliable, industrial-strength pedals, and the BF-3 is no exception. The body is solid metal, not just some crappy plastic that'll break the second you accidentally get carried away during a hot solo and stomp the whomp out of it. The BF-3 is more than just a flanger, with capabilities that go beyond many other pedals. If you need a flanger, you can't go wrong with this one.

    Boss BF-3

    A fine pedal to add to your pedalboard. A lot of post punk bands used these in the late 70's to mid 80's. Everyone from Andy Summers to Robert Smith. A nice throwback.
