BOSS BF-2 Flanger (1990 - Early Taiwan / Green Label / ACA Spec)

Overview The BOSS BF-2 Flanger is a legendary analog modulation stompbox, famous for delivering everything from subtle chorus-like shimmer and rich swirl to dramatic jet-plane swooshes and metallic hollow tones. Produced in 1990, this unit hails from the desirable early Made in Taiwan transition era, featuring the authentic Green Label, classic white-topped knobs, and the vintage-correct ACA power specification. Powered by classic BBD analog circuitry, it delivers a musical warmth, three-dimensional depth, and punchy presence that digital recreations cannot duplicate. It remains an enduring classic relied upon by David Gilmour, The Cure, and countless post-punk and rock icons.

⚠️ 【POWER SUPPLY SPECIFICATION NOTE】 This 1990 unit features the vintage BOSS ACA specification. It operates at optimal voltage using a BOSS ACA adapter or a standard 9V battery. If powered alone by a modern 9V PSA power supply, the LED may appear dim and headroom may be limited (unless daisy-chained with other standard 9V pedals to share a common ground).

Key Features

  • Iconic Analog BBD Circuit: Delivers rich, organic sweep, thick jet flange, and vibrant rotary/chorus tones
  • Four Intuitive Controls: MANUAL (delay time center), DEPTH (modulation sweep), RATE (speed), and RES (resonance feedback)
  • Early Taiwan Production (1990): Features the collectible Green Label and period-correct internal construction
  • White-Top Knobs: Classic visual appointment from the vintage production era
  • Indestructible Build: Legendary BOSS cast-aluminum chassis engineered for lifetime reliability

✅ Condition Details

  • Cosmetics: In authentic player's vintage condition. Shows typical finish wear, edge paint chips, corner scrapes, and surface marks consistent with a 1990 pedal. The green bottom label has partial paper tearing/peeling, but the serial number (AC78291) is fully intact and legible. Please inspect the photos thoroughly.
