BOSS DM-2W Waza Craft Analog Delay
The BOSS DM-2W - Vintage Analog Delay with Modern Upgrades
Classic Analog Delay, Reimagined for Today’s Players
The BOSS DM-2W Waza Craft Analog Delay resurrects the warm, bucket-brigade delay (BBD) tones of the original DM-2, which was discontinued in 1984 but has remained a highly sought-after pedal ever since. This modern reissue retains the lush, vintage sound that made the original legendary while adding new features to enhance versatility for today’s guitarists. Built with 100% analog circuitry and featuring switchable modes, the DM-2W delivers both the classic DM-2 delay and an expanded delay range for greater sonic flexibility.
Two Modes for Classic and Modern Sounds
The DM-2W features a mode switch that provides access to two distinct delay personalities:
Standard Mode: Recreates the warm, analog delay of the original DM-2, with a delay range of 20ms to 300ms. This mode delivers the familiar dark, musical repeats that made the DM-2 a studio favorite.
Custom Mode: Introduces a cleaner, more defined delay tone with an extended delay time of 40ms to 800ms. This mode adds a modern twist to the classic sound, making it perfect for contemporary styles that require clearer, more articulate echoes.
All-Analog Bucket-Brigade Circuitry
Built using a bucket-brigade delay line (BBD), the DM-2W captures the organic warmth and natural degradation of vintage analog delays. Unlike digital delays, the repeats gradually become softer and more diffuse with each pass, mimicking the behavior of tape echo machines while maintaining analog authenticity. The result is a rich, dimensional sound that sits perfectly in a mix without overpowering the dry signal.
Expression Pedal Control for Real-Time Delay Adjustments
The DM-2W includes an expression pedal input (using a standard TRS cable) that allows players to control the delay time with their foot. This feature is ideal for creating dynamic, evolving soundscapes, such as gradually increasing delay speed for a runaway oscillation effect or slowing it down for dreamy, atmospheric textures.
Dual Outputs for Flexible Routing
With both an Output and a Direct Out, the DM-2W can send wet and dry signals to separate amps for a stereo-like effect. Run the pedal in a dual-amp setup to create a wide, immersive soundstage, or use it in mono mode for a classic delay effect.
Waza Craft Quality and Japanese Craftsmanship
As part of the Waza Craft series, the DM-2W is handcrafted in Japan and built to meet exacting standards of tone, reliability, and durability. The Waza symbol represents BOSS's dedication to tone excellence, with the finest components and meticulous circuit design delivering superior sound and feel.
