Boss Waza Craft DM-2W Analog Delay

Buy Now: goo.gl/kcnHTC
The Boss DM-2W is a faithful reboot of the company's well-loved DM-2 analog delay. The DM-2W is part of Boss's Waza Craft series dedicated to bringing players meticulously-designed updates of existing pedals. "Waza" is the Japanese term for art and technique, which is a recurring theme in both sound and design. The DM-2W picks up where the original left off, with a rich fully-analog bucket brigade delay line that melts seamlessly into itself for warm, fat repeats. There are two modes on the DM-2W: standard mode, which is crafted with the original slapback-friendly 20-300 milliseconds of delay, and custom, which brightens up the repeats while offering between 40 and 800 milliseconds of analog repeats. The DM-2W is equipped with a direct out for parallel processing, and an expression pedal jack to the DM-2W that allows players to remotely control the rate of the repeats. Like all Boss pedals, the DM-2W is built for the rigors of the road in its time-tested stout form factor that professionals have relied upon for decades.

I always found it refreshing that Andy demoed these pedals playing something other than blues licks, unlike every other dingleberry hocking music gear on KZbin.

[@manny1406eb]

Yes! Andy! Your playing superb as always!

[@elektrodenio]

The custom mode sounds really cool on the dotted 8th note setting.

This pedal is amazing. Holds its own with a lot of boutique pedals costing way more.

[@bridengrooveevents]

Have to give it to Andy, he cuts the bullshit and gets straight into fantastic playing on every demo... and always throws in some "Jaysus, I didn't realize that was such a good song" moments.

[@JohnAppleMusic]

hey Andy! nice review!!!! How can I get this pedal to make the trails continue when the delay is bypassed.... maybe an internal switch?

[@adamwatts4937]

One thing about this pedal , it's not stereo in . That's means you can't hook up the CE2 stereo into it to get all the lush sounds of that pedal. Normally you would put the delay pedal after the modulation so I think Boss have missed a trick here.

[@danfango1333]

Eyes without a face. Usual good taste Andy. I fancy one of these, however with my board I need stereo ins and outs. Currently have Stereo Mistress into Dc2w into Dd7 into Rv6. Stereo all along. Analogue setting on Dd7 is good enough I think 🌴

[@javiceres]

Please, what's the maximum input level before clipping? Frequency range of the wet signal? The dual outs work only when it's on? Then is it true bypass? I'd love if it could be buffered for trails off...

[@jasoncorganbrown]

Is the self oscillation volume kept equal, or does it get louder while self oscillating?

i had one of these pedals, i got it when i was like 6 my dad gave it to me, and this was of course before i knew about vintage, and how expensive pedals were, so being a curious 6 year old, i took it apart and ended up breaking it, probably my greatest regret

[@bluepedalsrock9271]

Does anyone else get a high pitched sound that goes along with your delays when you have the rate set all the way counterclockwise? When I set it to 9 o’clock it goes away. The noise happens for both for both S and C modes.

[@jonathanpentreath6039]

I heard that in the one I tried as well. It's just the nature of BBD's. I didn't hear it so much in Custom mode.

Hi can you help me . Is it ok to take the batteries out my pedals and just use the mains with no battery in the pedal . Thanks for any help . ?

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

Yes, you don’t need to use the battery at all if you have a power supply.

[@aaronrichards5610]

Would this be a good pedal if you're after an '80s U2 sound?

[@samuelsimmons8078]

Yes but a Boss DD7 would be better with its modulation setting which instantly sounds like Joshua Tree era.

[@javiceres]

I'd say not really, tc flashback would be much better for that

[@newmoonsamesun]

A agree DD7 but TC and Waza are great pedals.

[@dahliafiend]

Memory Man would be better.

[@mewtmath2899]

It actually sounds really good, is it really worth it for the money though? I feel like there's so many pedals that can do this and more for the same price

[@mykhedelic6471]

Well, being able to send the delay repeats out and control where they occur in a mix as well as expression control of the distinct sound of a time manipulated analog delay are big bonuses. I've got some good analog delays that were alot cheaper but that don't have those two options and, those two options open up alot of variety and possibilities. I record in stereo using a mixer and sometimes you want those repeats hard left and the signal just right of center and you want to warp those repeats in the moment and none of my mono analogs can manage that. So, it all depends. Live mixing is alot of fun.

[@npc2071]

[@SixStringZombie]

This one in the demo sounds great...like it should. The DM-2W I got doesn't sound like this one, nor like an analog delay should. Certainly not like an original DM-2 either. Mine has some weird static-like, almost digital bit crush overtones/noise going on in the repeat trails on longer delay times. Its really noticeable in the custom mode. I've heard complaints about the first batch of these Waza DM-2s having that issue. Anyone experienced this with their DM-2W?

[@universalmanchild]

No but you should absolutely return it.

[@kylecushman8649]

[@HouseofChains81]

This pedal aside I gotta say that when you have the right amp any pedal can sound good. I'm a boutique guy but I bought a fender bass breaker and I have a DS1 kicking around so I plugged it in and it actually sounds good on the second channel. On the 1st channel (deluxe reverb side) it sounds tinny and like garbage but on the second channel it's great. I want this pedal becauseI like simplicity and you can't get more simple than 3 knobs.

[@npc2071]

Whats the tele tuned to?

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

Good question! I think I just dropped the G to F# so I could play the major 7th chord with a slide. Maybe dropped the high e to d too. Try it! Andy
