BOSS BF-2 FLANGER EFFECTS PEDAL JAPAN MADE BLACK LABEL s/n 9900

Excellent working order

Very good condition

Original silver screw version


Vintage analog flanger pedal from Boss and the first compact pedal flanger in the 1980s

Excellent sound quality as you would expect from the Japan made pedals of this era

This is the rare early black label Japan version with silver screw, has the paper serial and dates to June 1981 so surely one of the last of the silver screw BF-2s to emerge from the factory


Pedal is unboxed and without instructions and isgrade B condition cosmetically, bit of minor wear to the finish in places (see pic) but overall the pedal is in good condition for the age and excellent working order.

(I grade the condition of my items thus : A=Mint or near; B= Light wear; C= Moderate wear; D= Road Worn/ Heavy wear)

n.b.This is designed to berun on either 9v battery orthe older Boss ACA adaptor - you can also use the newer Boss PSA adaptor but you will need to daisy chain with at least one other Boss PSA type pedal for it to work.

Thislisting is for the pedal only and does not include leads/battery/psu

BF-2 Flanger

In 1980 the BF-2 replaced the BF-1. The two pedals have the same controls but the older pedal didn\'t have the compact pedal case and a replacement was needed. The BF-2 has been around for a long time and is one of the most commonly used flanger pedals.

Version differences


  • The BF-2 exists in both metal screw and plastic screw versions.
  • The earlier versions had all black knobs. These where later changed to the white top knobs. The change took place 1990, very close to the same time that production was moved to Taiwan
  • There may be some BF-2\'s in pink. This was the original colour choice, but it was changed to purple in the last minute. Whether some pink ones exists out there is uncertain.
  • The BF-2\'s design remained virtually unchanged through its more than 20 year lifespan. The TL022CP opamp was replaced with the Sharp IR9022 opamp at some point but apart from that, the ciruit remained unchanged.

Label differences


No pedal has had as many different labels as the BF-2. From its birth in 1980 the label was black. It was changed to green in 1984. When production of the BF-2 moved to Taiwan 1990, the label kept its colour but was reprinted with the new country of origin. In 1994 the label was changed to orange. The CE-2B is the only other pedal to have use the orange label. Orange became pink in July 1997 and the final change happened in 1999 when the dark grey label was Depth, Rate, Res
