Title: Mint SF-2 For Sale
Post by: otis on November 14, 2009, 06:01:24 PM
Hey, All!
 
I've realized that I no longer have a need for my SF-2 as I've recently purchased a Series II Six string and it sounds incredible without any outside help.  
 
The unit is in Mint condition and has been in my rack case, since I purchased it a few months back. It's in perfect working condition and has no dings, blemishes, or issues of any kind.
 
I paid $955 for it brand new.  Let's say $799, O.B.O., and I'll pay for shipping in the Continental USA.
 
I'd prefer a Wire Transfer, Money Order, or Cashier's Check for payment, but I will consider Paypal, if the buyer adds the 4% in order to cover Paypal's fees.
 
For those of you who know what the SF-2 is, I don't have to explain what a great tool it is and the amazing array of tones you can pull from it.
 
For those who are interested, please shoot me an email.
 
Peace;)

Nick,  
 
Email read and replied to.  Guys, it looks like the SF-2 will be heading to Portland, OR, in the next day or so.
 
Thanks!

ugh!
Let me know if for some reason things don't work out. I have a feeling that having an SF-2 would bring me great joy.

Ooh, Nick! You are going to love this! It's a great combination with a Series I. It's worth trying with one filter per pickup as well as a mono dual filter.

I will welcome all and any advice! I'm looking at some of the threads with SF-2 info.

Here's an excerpt from a previous post describing how to adjust an SF-2:
 
I can't say enough good things about the SF-2. While admittedly it was a little daunting when I first got it, seemingly more complicated than I usually like, once I groked it, the SF-2 turned out to be quite simple to set and an amazingly effective tone shaper. When used with in mono mode, it is essentially a 3 channel mixer - one dry channel and two filtered channels. Each filtered channel can be set for low pass, band pass, or high pass. The key is to adjust one channel at a time. (While one is being tweaked, I turn the other two down to 0). First I turn both filtered channels down to 0, turn up the dry channel and set my amp and guitar controls as normal. Then I turn the dry channel to 0 and one at a time, set one filter channel to accentuate a low frequncy I like and the other to accentuate a high frequency. Back to 0 for the filtered channels and the dry channel is turned up, again. Then it's easy to mix in the low and high SF-2 channels to taste. (In stereo mode, it has two channels per side, one dry and one filtered). Once I understood what was happening, the SF-2 revealed itself as a relatively easy to use common sense design.
