05:40 This is why I like your videos, Colin. You often describe the circuitry and how it effects the tone in a pedal, using your technician experience (and some sexy graphics). Others do it less frequent or in less detail. While it is not essential for a guitarist to know, it helps understand how the pedals work.

[@FunkAndFluff]

It's like the ideal chorus for people who dislike chorus. Properly subtle enough to earn my approval.

[@InsomniacMatt]

As a Canadian, I am legally obligated to say "Hey, that was Bryan Adams you played. Good job."

[@zadtheinhaler]

Ditto! It's not often when Canuck music is played, so I really get pumped when it does happen!

[@FLORIDAERO]

Brian Addams was very nice.

[@Jaspertine]

Our government has apologized for Bryan Adams on several occasions!

[@oliverjames7315]

Bryan Adams still gets regular airtime in the UK guys. Everything I do is one of the most successful songs of all time here.

[@oliverjames7315]

Plus he did a song with a Spice girl and that is a sure fire way to stay on the radio in the UK forever.

[@blakecurtis7809]

Sweet pedal. And you're skill-set amazes me. You play Metal, Rock, Blues, Funk, Jazz, Punk, Celtic( I hope that flys being with you being Scottish) influenced folk songs. I appreciate that you just don't stick to one style. I started playing jazz drums before I heard my first SLAYER ALBUM then metal took hold. Yet I enjoy playing every style I can learn. Funk drumming is not so dirty secret and the Jazz drummers can give the Metal guys a run for there money! Thanks for making great material and educating us all along the way. Cheers from the States!

[@Gibson1976uk]

I have used chorus pedals live and they never worked too good with overdrive!! until I got a Boss DC-3!! that pedal stayed on my board a lot!!! so I have now finally ordered the DC-2W!! these pedals are so good

[@splartman1798]

this channel is extremely well presented, respect to ya and thanks for taking the time to make great vids

[@User-jk8wq]

In comparison to my CE-2, it sounds more transparent and subtle. If I wanted a really noticeable 80’s Police-esque chorus sound, I’d go for the CE-2, but if I wanted a sound more akin to the effect achieved by layering lots of guitars on top of eachother, the DC-2 is perfect. Great demo my dude!

[@pikkuarska]

plot twist: the police sound was made with an EHX electric mistress flanger!

[@pikkuarska]

btw. the CE-2 is pure awesomeness (I bought a CE-2B for its cheaper price. I can always lower the highpass on the effect side to match it 100% to the CE-2 by doing a simple part switch, if I ever wanted to).

[@User-jk8wq]

pikkuarska Oh yeah, forgot that Summers never actually used the CE-2! Still, it is still one of the best 80’s chorus sounds and I know for a fact that Steve Clarke used one on Def Leppard’s Love Bites and Hysteria. Never tried a CE-2B, but I’m quite materialistic with pedals and love the look of the CE-2, as stupid as that is!

[@pikkuarska]

I too may buy a CE-2 just for its looks someday :D Now the sounds are more important for lack of overabundance of funds :P

[@User-jk8wq]

pikkuarska I highly recommend it! Also, check out the PH-1 phaser...

[@InsaneWayne355]

The stereo separation combined with the slight difference in texture makes for a really nice sound. I've been doing that by recording 2 tracks, panning left/right, and tweaking eq on each. I need this thing!

[@richardstephens7833]

I love the increase in production quality in your recent videos. Your channel is criminally underrated ^_^

[@jonne.public9587]

1/31/2021 I’m 2 years late on the release of the Boss DC 2W but it offers so much more and was worth the wait for sure! Colin your demos offer so much more too. It isn’t just another demo when you give us your take and input on anything. I golfed with a Scot for years and couldn’t understand every other word but he told it like it was with a smile! My Boss DC 2W arrived just a few days ago and I’ve got a couple of hours with it on my board. What a Different and moreover interesting approach to the standard Chorus pedal. I kept my MXR Analog Chorus on the board and wow how different they are and each fills a special section of my soundscape. The Boss Dimension is just that, an additional depth and dimension adding machine. Next I’ll hook up my rig in stereo to experience the full effects of the pedal. Please keep up the good work and thanks for a great channel...😷

[@monstercrx]

Thanks Colin, another informative video as usual 👍. This is the first of the Waza pedals I've really really wanted

[@hazrod13]

jeesus that's a nice sound

[@FadingFires]

Thanks for the technical explanation for what distinguishes it. Excellent job.

[@tipper9120]

Your descriptions of things are great. Keep it up buddy!

[@edparker3549]

Just grabbed this and....well, purple rain instantly came to my mind. Awesome pedal!

[@LukeBlase]

That Paradise City clean tone was almost spot on. Great job Boss and Collin!

[@Mr_A_Mia]

Colin Man...thank you for all your videos. Greetings from Miami, FL. USA... thank you thank you thank you.

[@anvil777]

Beautiful sounds Colin!

[@irrsinnrainer]

Damn, this thing sounds fantastic! :O Would love to hear it with Bass though!

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

great tone,, cool jams,, nice mix.

[@EversonBernardes]

[@ScienceofLoud]

Hopefully next along with a HM-2W *fingers crossed*

[@konstantinosernestoeconomo3265]

Yeah ! Cuz Electric Wizard !

[@amyrogers7628]

[@EversonBernardes]

​@@amyrogers7628 Oh, this. That's something I didn't think I needed, but I totally need. Especially if they add a toggle for that mod that skips the filters.

[@000MidnightSun]

The noblest chorus embiggens the smallest tone.

[@turboturtle2002]

The first chorus sound I really like. Now I want one of those. :D

[@robcerasuolo9207]

Thanks for demoing this. I've been curious about it since it came out a few weeks ago. I have a plea for help here, though. I have to admit that I struggled with your explanation of how it works. I understand the gist of how (most other) chorus pedals work, although I'm not a programmer or electronics guy in any meaningful sense. That aside for a second, can't this kind of thing be made with the usual control knobs? Or, even better, is there a way to recreate it in a DAW, especially without accidentally reinventing a flange? This is why I was hoping to understand the workings better. Are there any other resources that can help? Thanks in advance!

[@TheStrataminor]

Ahhh a fellow Scot!! Salt of the earth!

[@NicuMihai]

ahyeah! the good-old reliable ProCo Rat

[@AndrewKonkey]

I'm either between this or the mo-2 (Overtoner) for a deeper level of chorus! Anyone have experience with either?! Also, COLIN PLAYING A PRS AND A TELE DELUXE?!? WHAAAAAAAATTTT????

[@viccrosscountry5745]

Andrew Konkey yes but what was the other guitar?

[@peraon-rs]

That's a Friedman tele.

[@CritterEnjoyer]

Nice

[@Gumdropnipples]

For everyone keeping an eye out for "must have pedals" i can attest that this is one of them. It's pretty deceptive for its size but your pedalboard will thank you for it.

[@peraon-rs]

Unrelated, but is it safe to run a bass through a guitar valve amp and guitar speaker?

[@mikhammett]

It sounds like there's a small delay or reverb in the signal while you're playing. Is that part of the effect?

[@JDODify]

Was gonna get a CS Guitars t-shirt in "Cardinal" bit thought it might blend in with my fragile Celtic skin in the summer, so I've gone for a Seek Redemption.

[@ALEEN517]

Your videos are always very informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work my friend.

[@jurrianvanParreeren]

As a dutchman i gotta give props for the Grolsch straplocks :P

[@anilyazar_]

Matching tshirt with pedals! Nice :D

[@ccandrew111]

I thought you might have picked up a squire tele custom 2 until I read the comment pointing out that it’s a Friedman. Still, something so awesome about p90s in a telecaster

[@evandijk1983]

How did u get these nice 🎸 I remember u had used always ur own build 🎸 Edit: I have noticed later u used the nice hand built one again 👍🏻

[@anusrepairman]

That chorus is super thick, so thick it needs to go on weight watchers.

[@peterwoods35]

That was the clearest, most effective explanation of these effects that I've ever heard. Congrats.

[@plugitin4656]

A limited run? Is this normal for Waza pedals?

[@gorkiaguila]

hello, we know that the DC-2W can only combine 2 buttons at the same time .. the question is if in the original version we could combine the 4 options at the same time?

[@mikegleeson8733]

Great review, although adding delay to your demo isn’t the best way to show off what the pedal sounds like on its own.

[@jancreighton]

crackin' review

[@lucaszheng4362]

does this pedal work if your sending it through the front of the amp or is it best to put it through an effects loop?

[@ScienceofLoud]

It was out front throughout this video, with the exception of track at the beginning where the recorded distorted sounds were sent back through the effect. It basically works wherever, but if you want to use it stereo, run it out front into two amps.

[@jacktowers7533]

Boss Needs to do a Waza reissue of the HM2 if the metal zone reissue is anything to go by they will knock it out of the park (except the cricket bat is a chainsaw)

[@oliverjames7315]

I love that you took a baseball phrase and said cricket bat instead

[@jacktowers7533]

Oliver James well I'm Australian so...

[@Webgkil]

Wait, what???? Limited run????? This is the first time I hear of this!!!!!

[@hazrod13]

it's always a good day when a new CSguitar video comes out

[@martinignaciodefeo9235]

When is the Waza Ph1-r Phaser coming?

[@palukens]

Tell us about the Friedman please?

[@danielvanniekerk7084]

Well, seems like someone played Burnout Paradise recently :P

[@ScienceofLoud]

Not for a long time, but that was a quality game with an even better soundtrack.

[@faboolean7039]

I'm pretty sure I only played that game just to hear the opening boot screen

[@fairguinevere666]

The soundtrack on that game was wild. It went from pop to metal to classical, all on the same playlist. Man, I gotta go play it now.

[@iambrucewenza]

I noticed that you have the serial number 20! woha!

[@ScienceofLoud]

One of the benefits of getting the pedals a month ahead of release.

[@damonshanabarger2604]

I purchased one of these around the time you made this video. I wonder how it would compare to the 5150 Van Halen chorus. I deleted my other comment because my eyes are the lampstands of my soul. Three is Gravity and two are informed that they are Betty and Lisa. The cube space time continuum universe has eight corners. We take turns being lifted up into the north corner. There was a funny thing about Job in Revelation Chapter 11 and about high definition television and a rock down Millcreek Park.

[@damonshanabarger2604]

Two are informed by me that they become the other two. Three is gravity plus me, makes a total of eight. 2+2+3+1=8:) I need to hire another plumber.

[@richardcramp2850]

you are the man dood love your videos

[@amrmohamed3546]

Can someone please remind me what the name of the song at 6:41 is?

[@ScienceofLoud]

Bryan Adams - Run To You The best song about cheating on your wife that was ever written.

[@josephmogavero9547]

Oh man what the tune he's playing at 9:02 I can hear it in my head, but can't quite place it! Gonna drive me nuts!

[@martinignaciodefeo9235]

Daft Punk - Get lucky... but the song is pure 70s disco without any chorusy guitars... hahaha

[@clairecampbell8328]

Hey anybody know of the tc version works same way Colin explained? Wana try that before buying this if it has a chance of being the same first!

[@ScienceofLoud]

It's sadly not the same. It's just a slow chorus designed to look like a dimension.

[@clairecampbell8328]

Thanks so much Colin!! :D Great helpful channel btw! Trying to find a modulation effect that might sound nice with some doom metal Cheers!!

[@twthathug]

Check out Waza Craft's new pedal "Dimension C DC-2W" if you get the chance. Sound of the summer.

[@joshp5563]

5:21...Was that from Trigun?

[@FirestormAudio]

What's the easiest way to record this pedal in stereo?

[@tokenofdevotion]

direct input, straight to a dual channel DI Box, then to your audio interface, voilá

[@xsm5525]

for me, the chorus sound of this pedal is just a side-product, the actual effect is when you listen in stereo (even better on headphones) and listen to what it does to the width of the stereo field.

[@UglyBunnyJase]

What year is that SC? It's gorgeous. I have an '04!

[@ScienceofLoud]

It's a 2018. Just a young thing.

[@epipcrate]

Cool pedal, But when did you pick up that Friedman Classic T?

[@ScienceofLoud]

That arrived with me just a couple of days ago. Fantastic guitar.

[@oshikiri999]

@@ScienceofLoud so are we getting a demo or? Lol

[@ScienceofLoud]

Maybe, I'll think about it.

[@minibikegarage1577]

Thats a very nice pedal i enjoyed the stereo seperation alot. Could you maybe consider doing a video on another boss pedal specifically the boss CS-2 compressor pedal????

[@elliottwiss6417]

That’s a new guitar then?

[@dzhellek]

I'm not sure why but this effect comes off as very 80's to me. It must have been popular with studio musicians of the time.

[@ScienceofLoud]

Yes, these were in production in the 80s and used extensively at that time. Moreover, chorus effects in general were all over 80s music. Chorus and massive drum reverb are the tropes of 80s sound production.

[@BudgetPedalChap]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but did I hear a cheeky bit of free love freeway...

[@jackpepperpwb]

Did you buy a wind machine?

[@ScienceofLoud]

Wind machines are the most important gear for any musician.

[@michal26691]

Could you PLEASE put the orange nameplate higher in the beginning of the video, so we can read it without "contains paid promotion" (or whatever it is in english) bar covering it up?

[@ScienceofLoud]

Noted, hadn't considered the placement of the 'paid promotion' tag during editing. Will ensure this isn't the case in future.

[@michal26691]

@@ScienceofLoud great, thanks :D

[@jeffmansfield914]

And never forget the silly tag after the fade-to-black at the end. That's like, half the reason I watch.

[@sionjones1675]

how does TC's 3rd Dimension compare to it?

[@ScienceofLoud]

See the bit where I said the cheaper clones fail to replicate the distinctive two bbd interactions? That's how it compares.

[@sionjones1675]

@@ScienceofLoud Fair enough, I wasn't sure which ones you were referring to. For what it's worth, I love my TC, so I'll definitely have a look at this if it's a step up. Thanks :)

Step 1: get an 80s RAT Step 2: boost it with a compressor and DC-2 Saturates it just nice, tames out the nastiness, and makes it sound huge.

[@adm5017]

Wow, I really like that. And I don't like chorus. 👍

[@nicks4802]

I'd just like to point out that it took TC Electronic releasing their own (basically the exact same) version of this pedal Isfor BOSS to say "WHOA, WE'RE LOSIG MONEY!! SOMEBODY DO SOME R&D AND GET THAT FUCKER BACK ON THE MARKET!!!" Without TC electronic, we would've only got the Waza-Zone, Which we only got because of KZbinrs overhyping a heavily shat on pedal after shitting on it for years. The world we live in is.... strange....

[@ScienceofLoud]

Firstly, the TC pedal is simply a mono chorus, it doesn't do any of the unique things the DC-2 does. It falls at the first hurdle in regards to being a cheap alternative. Secondly, you've got it backwards. The KZbin surge of Metal Zone videos were in preparation for the launch of the Waza Zone. We were making those videos with the Waza sitting just out of frame.

[@nicks4802]

CSGuitars you're right, I do have it all backwards. like completely backwards lol Thanks for putting me in check

Don't use air quotes when saying the word "embiggen." It's a perfectly cromulent word.
