The Boss HF-2 Hi Band Flanger is a sought-after vintage modulation pedal from 1985, crafted in Japan during one of Boss’s most respected production eras. Unlike the standard BF-2, the HF-2’s flanging effect emphasizes the higher frequency range, producing a bright, glassy shimmer that enhances clean tones, harmonics, and arpeggios with a smooth, musical motion. It’s particularly favored by players who want subtle movement and tonal depth without the heavy swirl typical of deeper flangers.
The control layout features Manual, Depth, Rate, and Resonance knobs, offering full control over the intensity, speed, and character of the modulation. Its warm analog circuitry delivers the lush, airy textures that have made mid-’80s Boss pedals legendary among collectors and studio musicians alike.
This particular unit, serial number 610100, was made in Japan in 1985—one of the early production models. The bottom label is unfortunately missing, but the pedal remains fully original, with the classic Boss build quality and that distinctive high-band tone that makes the HF-2 such a unique piece of effects history.
