2. BOSS DM-101 Delay Machine
The classic sound shakes hands with modern processing power as the DM-101 adds musical delays to your sound. At the heart of the pedal are eight BBD circuits controlled by an intelligent CPU, providing 12 unique modes, stereo outputs, and a wide range of tones—all with 100 percent analog signal processing. The DM-101 effortlessly navigates between the crackling vintage sound and modern, bright analog delay, and just like traditional analog delays, the effect can be driven into saturating self-oscillation using the Intensity knob.
The advantage of CPU control is the ability to produce sophisticated stereo delays that traditional BBD analog delays cannot achieve: for example, the Pan mode routes each BBD and its feedback loop to different points in the stereo image, while the Dual Mod creates a wide and spacious effect by altering the modulation phase of each output. The stereo outputs are set to mixed signals by default, but they can easily be configured for various wet/dry systems and wet-only setups.
