General

You can quit searching for an (often over-priced) original DM-2, because Boss has redesigned and enhanced its most coveted, legendary delay pedal, and the result is a real keeper. The DM-2W Delay Waza Craft Special Edition is a stomp box that combines the audio quality of a boutique pedal with the benefits of a modern effect. It faithfully reproduces the authentic vintage sound of the original 1981 DM-2 Delay's analogue circuit, but also boasts a number of modern features. It may be a reissue, but the DM-2W Waza Craft Delay is fully up-to-date!

Boss DM-2W: Analogue Quality, Modern Features

The original Boss DM-2 - introduced in 1981 and discontinued in 1984 - was renowned for its warm, analogue Bucket-Brigade delay sound. For the Waza Craft series, Boss has expanded the possibilities by giving the DM-2W two modes, making this versatile pedal suitable for modern music styles. In addition to the familiar Repeat Rate, Echo and Sensitivity knobs, the stomp box has a Standard/Custom switch, which takes you from a rich, lavish effect with a delay time of 20 to 300 ms (standard mode), to a clean, clear and modern effect with more than twice the delay time (custom mode). The DM-2 Waza Craft is also equipped with an expression pedal input, which allows you to adjust the Repeat Rate with your foot.

About the Boss Waza Craft Series

Boss's main power is their commitment to using any technology necessary to achieve the best possible guitar sound - whether it's old-fashioned analogue circuits or modern DSP. With that same dedication, the trusty Boss engineers have developed the Waza Craft series. Waza is a Japanese term that denotes both art and technique. Thanks to specially selected analogue components, refined circuitry and an eye for detail, the Waza Craft series delivers exceptional tone and dynamics. These effect pedals represent the apex of Boss design and craftsmanship.
