Interesting Sounds from the BF-2

Here's a mod that comes from the Brian Wampler book. Putting the cap across a couple of pins on the clock controller gives some big depth on this Boss BF-2 Flanger. Woohoo! More of a bend than a mod.

Decided to not keep this one for now.

Otherwise, I did all of the Wampler mods to clean up the hiss and reduce the "boxy" sound. Then I replaced the op-amps with Burr Brown low noise op amps. Now a sweet sounding "Made in Japan" BF-2.






Time to play around with some of the trimpots!!

did you swap out an of the diodes? If so, what did you use? Wampler's book doesn't give any info on the diodes but has them circled in the components image.

I don't think I switched out any diodes. Mostly the cap upgrades. Wampler's book is awesome!
