Really cool info!
I have a BF2B. If it can be tweaked to HF2, I'd do it.
Is it possible for you to make audio recordings of the following settings?

Setting 1:
Manual: minimum
Depth: minimum
Rate: maximum*
Resonance: maximum

Setting 2:
Manual: noon
Depth: minimum
Rate: maximum*
Resonance: maximum

I have fiddled around with the Clock trimpot when I received the BF-2B and I would like to turn it back to the factory setting. So an audio file was great. Please only hit the strings without playing a tone. I only need the sound of the resonance. If it turns out to be on par with a certain note on the fretboard (tuned guitar is a must, of course), then use it as well.

I just did the same with the HF-2, so you can try tweaking your BF-2B to the "Hi Band Flanger" BBD Clock setting. The settings are the same as above. The key note is an F in both sound files.

Our audio files could be helpful as a future reference for all those who are interested in trying out both models with one pedal. :geek:


*This has some influence on the manual mode as I just noticed when recording the short loops with the HF-2.
I'll see if I can get something posted!

Great! Thanks so much!

And I am going to supply calibration sounds of the other HF-2 that I received a few days ago. The BBD Clock was calibrated three semi-tones below the setting of the other unit (that I regard as the better sounding setting). I think that there will be differently calibrated Bass Flanger units as well, but since I forgot to reliably remember the original position I would like to know where the overall trimpot position is supposed to be.

Will await that with interest.
