The BF-3 is a highly versatile flanger, delivering awesome effects ranging from a subtle, phaser-like swirl to a full on jet engine with just a twist of a few knobs. The BF3 is certainly no one trick pony! The stompbox improves on the legacy of the celebrated BF-2 with new ultra, gate and pan modes, able to create great stereo effects or choppy "slicer" effects. The BF-3 is built for bassists and guitarists with inputs for each – Boss know bassists love a few effects too!

Flanging mixes the dry signal with a very short delay whose time is continuously modulated. The paths reinforce and cancel at regularly spaced frequencies, producing a moving comb-filter sweep with a hollow, metallic or jet-like character. Rate and depth set the motion, while feedback sharpens the notches and can push the effect towards resonant, self-oscillating textures.

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.

Stereo

Processes, creates or passes two audio channels. True stereo preserves separate left and right inputs, while mono-to-stereo effects generate spatial differences internally; routing, phase behaviour and whether trails remain stereo determine the resulting image. Some outputs sum to mono when only one socket is connected, which can change level or modulation depth.

Tap Tempo

Measures repeated foot taps and converts their interval into an effect rate or delay time. Subdivisions translate that pulse into dotted, triplet or other rhythmic values, while averaging and range limits influence how quickly and accurately the tempo settles.
