This is a great flanger. Analog purists would probably want to pass it up. It has a very digital sound. I went with this one because it is much more subtle than the BF-2. It only affects the upper frequencies, so it's not as thick as the BF-2. Great for a very crisp sound. It can sometimes become overwhelming with distortion, depending on what your EQ is like.
Reliability/Durability:
Boss quality. Solid and depenable.
Ease of Use:
If you're used to Boss pedals and are familiar with how a pedal works, this one is no different. It does take time to get used to how it only affects the higher frequencies.
Customer Support:
Never had a problem with a Boss pedal.
Overall Rating:
This pedal is great. I play progressive rock and it fits with my music perfectly. It is hard to find, but for someone who likes the BF-2 and wants something more subtle, it's worth it
