Episode #16: Boss HF-2 Hi Band Flanger
The Boss HF-2 was one of those pedals I had heard about way back when I was getting into the 'rarer' bunch of Boss pedals. Ok, these aren't rare per say, but they are not one of the run of the mill Boss pedals you see used at the music store often.
To my ears, this HF-2 produces a more subtile, musical type of flange as compared to the Boss BF-2. From what I understand, the HF-2 combines the dry signal with the flanged signal, which is shifted an octave up. This gives the effect a little more separation, and that's why it sounds more musical to me.
Flange is not an effect I use often. It's kind of like the cousin to the phaser, but both do have their application.
The HF-2 is a pedal that seems to have a following, but not on the level of say the DM-2. That reminds me... I have a very cool review to film tomorrow.
