The BF-2 had been around for more than 20 years when Boss decided to replace it with the BF-3. The BF-3 uses digital electronics instead of the BBD circuits used by older Flanger pedals. The BF-3 has two new modes, Ultra and Gate/Pan, that allows for unique Flanger sounds not possible with earlier Boss flanger pedals.
