BOSS USED DC-2W

The BOSS/Roland Dimension, beloved by many musicians and engineers, has been revived as part of the "WAZA CRAFT" series. By employing high-quality analog circuitry, it not only perfectly reproduces the original compact pedal DC-2 Dimension C, but also achieves the sound of the legendary Roland SDD-320 Dimension D rack effect unit. The four mode selector buttons, a defining feature of the pedal, retain the original design but have been upgraded to electronic operation. This allows for settings previously impossible, significantly expanding the range of sounds.

From its initial release to the present day, the Dimension sound has been used in countless musical works because of its unparalleled three-dimensional sound. It remains a highly valued effect among musicians and engineers, adding breadth and depth to a wide range of instruments including electric guitar, acoustic guitar, keyboards, and vocals. Respecting the original circuit design while being reborn with uncompromising craftsmanship, the DC-2W is an effects pedal that recreates the Dimension sound and demonstrates new sonic possibilities.

Natural three-dimensionality that preserves the original sound.
The unique Dimension effect, with its distinctive and three-dimensional soundscape, has been loved by many musicians and used in a wide variety of situations. While this effect is often perceived as similar to chorus, it actually employs different technical methods. It can express breadth and depth without the fluctuations of chorus, resulting in a unique sense of three-dimensionality. It is an effect that can create a more natural, rich, and lustrous sound without losing the inherent character of the instrument.

The newly designed four buttons open up even more possibilities. Like the original, the DC-2W allows you to select tone presets by pressing four simple mode selector buttons. The buttons have been upgraded to a newly designed electronic type. Not only is it more durable, but it also features highly visible LEDs and improved playability. Furthermore, it is now possible to press two buttons simultaneously, which was not possible with the original DC-2, and the variety of sounds has increased dramatically. By combining the S (Standard) / SDD-320 mode switch and the four buttons, you can get a total of 20 different sounds.

The DC-2W, reborn as part of the "WAZA CRAFT" series, boasts a design that delves into the essence of sound and refined to perfection. While reproducing the sound of the original model, it offers significantly improved ease of use thanks to modern technology. Not only are there newly designed electronic buttons, but the internal circuitry has also been completely redesigned. The DC-2W employs a high-quality buffer, dramatically improving the sound quality when bypassed, preserving a pure tone without coloring the original sound. Furthermore, the input/output is compatible with a wide range of instruments, equipment, and mono/stereo combinations. It is designed not only for integration into guitar and bass effect chains, but also for compatibility with recording equipment such as audio interfaces and mixers.

The Roland SDD-320, a legendary piece of equipment that has become a staple in studios.
The Roland SDD-320 Dimension D, released in 1979, quickly gained popularity among recording engineers and music producers as an effect that added depth to sound, and spread rapidly throughout the world. It has been used in countless hit songs and is still actively used in recording today. This effect, which can create a natural, three-dimensional sound that blends well with the ensemble without compromising the original sound, has been used on a wide variety of instruments, including guitar, electric piano, synthesizer, strings, and vocals. The DC-2W's SDD-320 mode faithfully reproduces the original sound down to the smallest detail. With the original SDD-320, some engineers had a technique of increasing sound variations by pressing multiple buttons. (In reality, this method only increases the number of variations by design.) The DC-2W not only reproduces this trick, but also adds a total of six sounds: four "intermediate sounds" for each preset and two completely new sounds.
