Boss BF 3 Flanger - Quickie

[@ShaneGelven]

Boutique pedals are great but nothing beats the real thing. That's why I luv BOSS pedals.

[@dukeofpearl]

Shane Gelven Yep! You only need this for flanging AND phasing! 🕶

[@SaxJockey]

@@dukeofpearl Yes, you can get a good range of sounds from this, mild to heavy effect. The pan mode to two amps works really well.

[@afterstars]

Yes I’ve learned the hard way. More expensive doesn’t mean ‘better’. Of course, tone is subjective but you really can’t go wrong with Boss 9/10 times. This flanger beats out pedals twice the price, for me.

[@twst1]

the carve on that guitar is something else

[@asherblack]

Great review. Love the momentary effect.

[@SaxJockey]

Thanks, very good demo of the heavy effect plus amp distortion at 5:38. Edit: Bought this pedal, I like it set to a fairly mild effect. The pan mode works very well, splitting the output to two amps for maximum effect.

[@TomPark1986]

Beautiful sounding pedal. I never knew why people hate on BOSS....sounds like they produce quality products.

[@ronnieeagleandthealchemist2333]

It's the metal zone effect. It's like the worst and best pedal ever and for some sullies Boss's rep, which is silly. It has an 'inside' type of sound I find useful for some soloing. DD-20 delay has what's regarded as the best analog sound from a digital delay on the market, even still. I have both the PS-5 and PS-6 on my board now and its glorious, two very unique pedals that many folks simply don't know what to do with.

[@turkeytrailhoneybeefarmgeo6292]

Shark Alchemy i have the ps5 what a great stereo pedal. but i do want the ps6. i play with a bass guitar and a six string. i hear the ps6 tracks better with a six string. have you found that to be true?

[@dvamateur]

Brainwashed millennial hipsters hate BOSS. To them it's either "analog" or iPad/iPhone purely software thing, and absolutely nothing in between. Millennial hipsters will never understand dedicated digital gear, either. They brain has been too washed through long exposure to deliberate social engineering.

[@Jacob-ir6zi]

BOSS is legit and every one of their pedals has a buffer inside too which a lot of people don't know about that

[@keithdarling8290]

Unfortunately, like Guitar and Amp SNOBS, there are Pedal Snobs. Unless they are Handwired, Point to Point/Hardwired and cost as much as a House Payment, the Pedal is useless to them. 99.8% of my Pedals are Boss. They last and last and last forever, take a beating and still show up at the next Gig ready to go. Do I own a couple of Vintage and Semi Boutique Pedals?.....Yes, 2!!! If Fulltone is still considered Boutique like they used to be, I own a Mini Deja Vibe, (Creme Version,) and I own the ORIGINAL Wah made by Thomas Organ, Patent Pending Version. This dates it to before 1967....that's when Thomas received the Patent for the Wah they invented, designed,developed and made FOR VOX!!! Most people believe Vox invented the Wah.....Wrong, It was Thomas Organ. I WILL get SNOBBY about my WAH!!!!! A good friend of mine, who happens to be a Pedal Snob but we're still really good friends since the Late 70's/Early 80's, just happened to see a picture of my Current Board. I had Packed Up and put away the Thomas Wah to keep it ALL ORIGINAL and in good shape. I used a Dunlop Wah, Morley Wah and yes, EVEN A VOX WAH trying to get that "TONE" for many, many years but never became totally comfortable with them as I could never get it DIALED IN to sound as good as my Thomas. So, after about 20 years, I pulled the Old Girl out, worked the Sealed Pot back and forth to clear out about 90% of the built up dust inside, flipped over the Bottom Plate to preserve what Paint and the Serial Number still hanging on for dear life as possible. It was if the Gates of Heaven opened up just for me!!! Anyway, he saw the Picture and the 1st words out of his mouth was, and I quote, "IS THAT AN ORIGINAL THOMAS WAH ON YOUR BOARD?"Needless to say, he tried and tried to buy it from me but I wouldn't part with it. Although you can find them on eBay for not a lot of money, you'll never know if they are all ORIGINAL or if a Input Jack, Output Jack or the Pot has been replaced. He knew mine was 100% ORIGINAL. I'll be buried or Cremated with that Wah!!! Now, back on topic, Boss Pedals are the Real Deal. Yes, they have a few CLUNKERS out there but for the most part, I'll buy and use them over ANY Boutique Pedal everyday!!!

[@turkeytrailhoneybeefarmgeo6292]

no one ever demos stereo pedals in stereo. you got like 50 fucking valve amps in the room!

[@Johnny-oy9fh]

I had one back in 1982. Just bought a new one...it's the best yet. It's a keeper...

[@drewbarries]

What’s with the pixelated corpse in the background?

[@chrisdee5032]

It's the dude out of Minecraft.

[@walruso5745]

It’s the dead body of the person he stole the Flanger from, hence why he doesn’t know the price.

[@LeeronCarbuncle]

A great "Kinda-phaser-but-not-really" setting on these is Depth and Manual on 10, Rate on 5, and Res on 0. I've got an old BF 2 from the 90's and it's my favorite pedal ever.

[@gnatiu]

Set tempo with tap on standard mode, having rate on 14h and depth on 12h. Manual on min. Res. on 10h. = Very leslie/Vibrato-like sound.

[@kennethmckeith7908]

I've seen quite a few flange pedals and I am sold on the Boss. The controllable aspect got me....

[@ivoleijen2008]

Is there a corpse on your couch behind you?

[@savanaviolenta]

That's his girlfriend sleeping

[@charliebrown3082]

murple is beautiful.

[@sontinos528]

guitar: WOW!

[@teacher5376]

Bright 's , smart 's , and smooth plays , like all the great players .guitarist ....with funny talking ....all the best effect of sounds ....stay tube .stay tone .stay with this , channel 's ....like ********++

[@superpanget2]

“I’m plugged in the bass input (2/3 of the video) the whole time, I ain’t refilming this $hI£” LOL. Great demo mate :D

[@LiebsterFeind]

That should be a new rule for your videos. The guitar color must match the effect pedal. :)

[@HungryCodeMonkey]

guy in the background is obviously super famous so needed to wear a hood AND be pixilated. cool flanger, is it buffered?

[@josiahluck4385]

probably, its boss

[@DerEchteBold]

Maybe Henning is housing escapees now?!

[@tickscollector9029]

I'm not really a flanger guy but you should really RTFM... or at least look at the pedal before demoing :-) 1. If you press and hold, it gives you delay of above 2 seconds... that's why it sounded totally different. 2. The Gate/Pan option is not to make stuttering sounds. the pedal is stereo out (see outputs A and B?) so in this mode the flanger is moving in stereo field, which means you need 2 amps. you got kinda gated )stuttering) sound since you used only one output (mono). Both of these things can be learned from just looking on the pedal like I did in your video. I love your vids! Great escapism :-)))

[@silverben8495]

TicksCollector I'm not familiar with this pedal, but from your 1st point, I don't read that it's a delay. Just reading the face of pedal, I read it as if you want to sync the speed to a tempo, you press and hold the footswitch over 2 secs to get tap tempo. From your second point you may be correct, however set up this way, it is a nice stutter effect. I need the manual.

[@SaxJockey]

The pan setting to two amps works very well. I expect the stereo output will record onto my Boss RC-1 stereo loop station; will give that a try.

[@Undvne]

Thanks for the video demo. The flanger sounds so nice. So many applications especially if you're playing some Pink Floyd.

[@Undvne]

@Black Coffee Now I actually bought that one right after commenting on this. Have sold it now but it served me well for years!

[@austinfailz]

I'm thinking of getting one solely for the momentary function. I love the EVH Flanger, and Unchained, but the tap dancing is too distracting. The momentary would make that an easier task.

[@ericnootebos5855]

Boss always had and has very good products..i am re inventing them, after years of using everything on the market..

[@JoeJoe-ov1te]

'Ultra' setting is for a heavy, chugging rhythm...perfect for something like 'Unchained"

[@hawg427]

I like this one and the Walrus Audio Polychrome Flanger.

[@thechannelforeverything2170]

I just got one of these today and it’s really cool, sounds exactly like the intro to The Thing that should not be by Metallica

[@uzmeyer1752]

Jfyi, the manual (sometimes also called delay time, wich describes it better) is essentially an offset for the depth control, so where the center of the sweep is, so it somewhat controls the frequency area in wich the flanging happens. Ofc this heavily depends on the depth setting, the more depth the less the manual has effect (at least on the analog designs i know from a sheer circuit standpoint), as it is already sweeping most of its range and a little offset doesn't change much. Also, depending on the architecture of the circuit, if the delay time can be increased high enough you should get into chorus territory, wich are very simmilar but just with no feedback/resoance and a higher delay to the signal to go beyond the point of flanging phase cancellation and into, well, chorus-y overlap.

[@TheGreatPizzaMasterpiece]

nice video, your guitar sounds great!

[@Beatyzass]

Im not re-filming this shit HAHA! earned a like from me sir

[@TheRaybo66]

To anyone (like me) who is struggling with understanding the flanger effect I want to discuss the following question: isn't every flanger just a very short delay (with feedback) where the delay time is modulated by an LFO? Isn't it that if you take a simple delay with some feedback and then turn the delay time (which should be super short) maually up and down you get a flanger effect? Isn't it that if you have two signals which are delayed by a very short time (e.g. When you play into a DAW and have hardware and software monitoring activated so that you hear two slightly delayed signals) - doesn't this sound like a freezed flanger? However if this is true we all understand the flanger effect, right? But now nobody understands the phasing effect anymore :-( So, if the delay knob is called "delay" everything is fine. But if it is called "manual" you immediately think "whaaat?"

[@imreiariel7961]

yes to all. i want to make a faceplate for this pedal with the correct titles of the potmeters. or just tape it over... the reason i think is bc all the pedal companies want to make a pedal that you can just grab from the shelf of a guitar shop and know whats what. they aim for a more intuitive naming of the potmeters than a "correct" one i suppose. one could say a gate knob should be called bias (on a fuzz pedal), bc it effects the bias of the transformer, but gate is way more intuitive, you describe how it sounds, not what it does

[@imreiariel7961]

also a flanger with zero feedback (called resonance on the bf3) should give you a chorus pedal.

[@vio2696]

You should choose a single coils guitar. Flanges sounds always better on those than on dark humbucker pickups.

[@chrispodesta8105]

when Henning speaks and you have to check the playback speed setting...

[@michaelogden5958]

beautiful guitar.

[@jmch6359]

Did not realize this Flanger had so many features. Nice.

[@andrewstendahl36]

I had this purple Boss pedal in the 90s, Boss Flangers have the best swirl. Boss pedals look too ugly to blend in with modern pedals on todays pedalboards. If Boss put this same circuit inside a modern looking pedal, I'd buy one

[@luizhrsilvaable]

freddy krueger playing guitar? kkkkkkkk sorry about that....nice effects.

[@ligal75]

Goed pedal but when you put the power on is this standaard on 😕

[@JohnoO_O_]

why is there a dead body in your studio

[@jamessouleyrette3370]

have you tried ghetto mxr micro flanger? it's only got two knobs so you might like it.

[@savanaviolenta]

james souleyrette Micro flanger is amazing sounding pedal.

[@SaxJockey]

I was looking into getting the MXR Micro but a lot of reviews say there is big jump in volume when turned on, and no volume/level control. Just bought this BF-3 at a great price, very happy with it, very versatile mild to heavy effect, no noticeable jump up in volume.

[@ruzzipezzore]

Sorry EytschPi42, I don't understand if this pedal can split in 2 outputs when it's off... Do you have some pedal to recommend to correct the phase if I run for example a distortion in one of the two lines (I read that notoriously the od/ds pedals can have this issue)? thanks

[@lucasaragon9823]

I had the opportunity to buy a bf2 and I don't like it so much, I buy the raptor flanger instead, but this bf 3 sounds really good better inclusive than the other two

[@M27-t9z]

That thumbnail...

[@granthambeard]

JUST for that momentary feature I want it, do any other flangers do this?

[@DerEchteBold]

Did you find such a Flanger since then? I don't recall any but most multi-FX pedals can be programmed to do a momentary function.

[@CatharticGuitar]

I hate when I’m going for the right input, and I accidentally stick it in the bass input. Haha.

[@onecleanfinger]

how does the "momentary" setting work ? I didn't see you try that

[@stupidlogic2987]

Did you fall asleep at 11:24? :)

[@theelectrichobo829]

I see Leslie has tuned in to a pixel again .

[@amadeusvprozac]

Can I have the model of the guitar please? Thank you

[@gunnerjenson]

I've just realised, there's a dead body in the background.

[@USMarine75]

Is Steve from Minecraft sleeping on the couch?

[@FransJCMartins]

Colour of the Boss suits Murple 😄

[@dukeofpearl]

The Smiths, how soon is now flange effect can be easily reproduced on one of these baby's! 🕶

[@Cosmos_Dancer]

The pedal doesn't matter. I must confess: I am strangely attracted to the woman on the couch.

[@julesclou9276]

Give me your guitar.

[@gnatiu]

Don't want to insult you. But if you keep it a bit shorter, it is going to be perfect. Kind regards.

[@princecontroversy]

I think it sounds better in the stereo loop of my Marshall MG 250DFX 2x50w stereo but in front of the amp also works fine before a distortion overdrive pedal Eddie van Halen did Hear About It Later with the flanger all the way )) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYvcYndmqq1kr9U Totally awesome ))

[@1969atam]

I tried this Flanger and didn’t really like it. Sounds cold and sterile, a bit like the PH-3. I own a BF-2 and HF-3 and they sound better, maybe the digital processing in this one turns me off.

[@teacher5376]

Hi.talks show 's , very cute 's ....

[@9aus]

in another video you criticized the mooer spark flanger for eating into the sound. The bf3 does the exact same thing, it makes the guitar sound metalic like cheap 80ies digital converters and eats into bass and mids. Shame on you for not scolding the bf3, it makes you look biased :-P

[@gunnerjenson]

Good review but what a horrible jumper ha ha ha
