Maybe someone should start building a pedal with a Rat and a Big muff in the same box and name it something like the KING OF FUCKING TONE
I'm not quite there in my building skills, but it's on the list.
Maybe I can do switching jacks for a send/receive, just in case.

Oh god, I accidentally just bought a BF-2
At least I can compare to the Eno when it arrives.
Only the digital delay to go, then that’s the whole board sorted.
MS-3 on eBay. And I learnt about Rat into Muff. What a week to be alive.
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

My maaaaaan!
Yeah, compare the two, then toss the one you don't like next to a mini-Rat w/Turbo on a table coaster.
Boom. "Classic '90s bass board".
I, for one, find the particular purple of the BF-2 to be one of the most delicious looking Boss pedals.
Whoever heard of a snozzberry?

I think I’ve actually got a Little Bear rat attack (with added boost mod) knocking about: 2nd board is already building itself.

Tasty Boss options are the PS-2 and PS-3, which give you DD and pitch shifting - for more chorusy/vibey goodness (+ insane aleatoric waterfalls of pitch in the case of the PS-3) - in a single enclosure. Then there's the DSD-1 (?) too - digidelay with lo-fi sampling for momentary loop madness, should the mood take you.

Not exactly budget but the Memory Man with Hazarai is a cool digital delay. Cool AND relatively budget would be the Nux Time Core that they now call a "Time Core Deluxe".

There are some cool ideas here- I’ve played with a boss PS & it’s pretty fun/simple/versatile.
And always loved the memory boy.
I’m adding them to the “upgrades” list.
Got my eyes on a Tc Electronic Flashback mini for less than £30. Their ‘2290’ digital delay is a perfect one sound pony that I’m looking for.

These were waiting for me at the office today
Tremolo will be here soon, and keeping an eye out for a bargain digital delay.

Great choices so far. The BF-2 is incredible. When I tried mine out for the first time I expected it to do the swoosh and maybe a bit Nirvana. After few minutes I was like "alright, just gimme three of those and I'll never look into modulation pedals again..."

Oh hell yeah!
Have fun, that's a heap of sound right there. And I'm with Zork, a good flanger like the BF-2 showed me the light, it's all the modulation I ever need anymore.

It was rare for a ‘90s shoegaze or dream pop board to not have a BF-2. Almost everyone used one.

It's so true. I was just a few years too young and a few dollars too broke to be a legit shoegazer until the late 90s, early 2000s. When I got a BF-2, it was like, "Ohhhhh, I get it now."
Easy to forget in the era of boutique how most of the innovators of that shoegaze era were using mostly off-the-rack stuff from the '80s - i.e. shred machines. It's just all recombinations of Rats and BF-2s and Yamaha/Alesis reverbs (because reverb PEDALS weren't a thing 'til '87!). Maybe the occasional "old junk" like a Big Muff or Fuzz Face.
But so many of those elements are so versatile, it's all in the application sometimes.

Have you sorted yourself a fuzz yet?
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

Ok! I’ve lost my tuner, but that doesn’t matter right now. Hooked it up quickly with whatever cables I had lying around.
Little soundclip with middle pickup & flat clean channel on the amp. Everything on
Google drive audio clip
The BF-2 is really subtle, are all models like that? Like even everything full isn’t mental.
But it sounds creamy & ott & even the analogue delay has plenty of length for me to do more than what I want.
Super happy. Thanks for all the advice!!!
