Where did you find the Bass one? Been looking for ever and most based it on the same as the BF2 but with a different opamp
Well guess I'm wrong, maybe that's why i still have both the bass and octave models

I don't know anymore. Maybe I found it through the Wayback Machine? However, I saved it on my webspace. The links are on page 1.

The BF-2 uses a different BBD, whereas the BF-2B and HF-2 both use the MN3204 that allows much shorter delay time. That's where the "octave" sound comes from.

While looking for your ranks at the old BossArea forum and the StompBoxZone I stumbled over this thread in my folder of saved SBZ topics:

Well, it took almost ten years until I finally got my hands on an HF-2! :lol:

Haha, yes! Didn't know that song (Led Zeppelin - Ten Years Gone) - nice fuzz and phaser effects!
