Analog Delay

Analog Delay

The Boss DM-2 is an analog delay pedal first produced in the early 1980s, renowned for its warm, lush delay tones created by a bucket-brigade device (BBD) circuit. It offers delay times ranging from 30 to 300 milliseconds, with intuitive controls for Repeat Rate, Echo, and Intensity. The DM-2 is highly regarded for its musical, natural-sounding repeats and subtle modulation, making it a favorite among players seeking vintage analog delay character.
