Description
The Boss DC-2W is a special Waza Craft recreation of the legendary DC-2 Dimension first released in 1985. Only sold over a four-year period and heavily sought after by collectors, the iconic purple pedal is back with some thoughtful updates.
Youd be forgiven to pass this off as a simple chorus, but its so much more that that. The DC-2W expands the depth of your guitar tone to new levels in either mono or stereo output.
Circuitry
Waza Craft have equipped the DC-2W with a second analogmode, on top of the original singular analog design. The DC-2W utilises these two independent circuits the S and SDD-320 modes to drastically widen sonic possibilities.
Its also fitted with a premier buffer, meaning ultra-low noise, pure signal transfer and buffered bypass. Simply put, the DC-2W is better than ever before.
Sound
Controls consist of four switches ranging from 1-4. The higher the number, the wider the dimensions of the effect in the mix. They all have varying rates and voicings, so youve got plenty to get stuck into. Mix and match by selecting two buttons at once.
Switch over to the SDD-320 mode, which recreates the subtle modulation of the Roland Chorus Machine produced in 1979. Youll hear this sprawled over Stevie Ray Vaughans guitar work and Brian Enos synth sounds.
Mono output produces a thick, lush and warbly ’80s-style chorus. But running the DC-2W in stereo is where it comes into its own. It hard pans the signal for that huge doubling effect, but retains more tonal structure than monos fluctuations.
WAZA Craft
In Japanese, Waza means art or technique. Thats exactly why Boss assigned their best designers and engineers to the Waza Craft project. Their goal is to reach the pinnacle of guitar amp and effect design.
Premium Waza Craft pedals contain carefully picked transistor and capacitor components. These circuits produce exceptional analog, transparent effects.
