BOSS Dm-2W Delay Guitar Pedal, Maroon

Product Information

The idea was to give players an alternative to their already successful tape delay, the Roland Space Echo RE-201. Founded in 1973, BOSS has achieved legendary status among guitarists by offering a world-leading product line-up that includes compact effects, multi-effects, amplifiers, loopers, guitar synthesisers, tuners, accessories, and more. The BOSS Worldwide Social Network keeps you connected to the latest products, exciting events, and much more. I know there’s no need to mention this, but along the Memory Man, the DM-2 has to be one of the most legendary analog delay pedals ever created.

Using 100-percent analogue circuitry, the DM-2W’s Standard mode nails the lush sound and 20-300 ms delay range of the original DM-2. Come along as we run down the entire history of BOSS delay pedals through the years, from 1978 all the way up to the present day. This can also be accomplished by tweaking the Repeat Rate knob by hand, but it’s hard to play at the same time. These reasons, among many others, lead BOSS to break the hiatus and make one more time an analog delay. You can really get a handle on the great sounds and features this pedal has to offer in this informative video review, which also appears in Issue 35 along with a written review.This is not only a fantastic recreation of the original but the custom mode with slightly brighter echoes and a delay time of up to 800ms is a revelation. There is also an added stereo output and and an input for an external pedal to control the delay time. As usual, some players can tell the difference between the outcomes of these BBD chips and, they are also not very hesitant to express their preference for the original batch.

As soon as a guitar is sold it will be fully set-up to ensure it is playing great right out of the box. Engineers did the impossible to exploit the capabilities of it and give this pedal a max of 300 milliseconds of delay time. Sure I've mentioned this on this forum before, I have a Young Pedal Company ADM-600 analog delay, it's tiny and pretty wild, it has an internal trails switch for infinate trails, does all that oscillation stuff and has built in chorus effect, I think it's based on the DM-2 and I feel it is better than the Carbon Copy which I've owned twice. The DM-2 comes now with two separate modes: Standard, which is a completely faithful reproduction of the original circuit with 20-300ms of delay time; and Custom, which gives exactly the same quality of rich analog sound but increases the scope of delay time form 40-800ms. AC adaptor (PSA series: sold separately) Current Draw 35 mA Expected battery life under continuous use (These figures will vary depending on the actual conditions of use.

This in-depth guide features everything a guitarist needs to begin their journey—from the origins of delay to complex setups. You can get really cool slapback sounds by turning up the Repeat Rate and turning down the Intensity. Also, even though players were happy with their digital units, a new market trend started to develop: analog delay was something the people wanted again.

The DM-3 is was the last analog delay produced by BOSS (until 2014) and it was introduced to the world in 1984. If you’re trying to check it through the label, well, as I mentioned before, you will find it is green, just like version 2.

This will require of course, that you at least have an idea about which serial numbers can represent a specific date/batch.

I applaud the idea and intentions behind recreating this pedal, not only by offering a simple re-issue of it but also by adding some new features and capabilities. Capable of a wide range of tones from doubling to quick slapback to long repeating echoes, the character of the BBD effect is distinctly different from digital delay, which tends to be very crisp and defined.

At shorter delay times, the DM-3 produces a clearer sound; this was, to be honest, the idea from the very beginning.

On a previous post, I mentioned that analog delays are special because of the technology they use: BBD chips. The engineers did some tweaks here and there and provided an analog delay with clearer repeats and less noise, which was common of the older brother. The original DM-2 pedal design was straightforward and simple, offering delay times in the range of 20 to 300 milliseconds, plus that classic BBD tone.
