Description
Mate vintage sound with modern processing power with the DM-101 Delay Machine from BOSS, a sophisticated delay pedal that uses modern CPU technology to achieve ultimate precision, control, and a huge range of delay sounds without sacrificing a 100% analog signal path. Using eight analog BBD chips, the DM-101 delivers 12 unique delay modes including several with stereo signal processing for everything from classic warmth and saturation to modern clarity and crispness.You get plenty of onboard control, including adjustable modulation rate, depth, and a unique Variation knob that allows you to control multiple parameters unique for each mode, and you can store your custom creations in up to 127 user memory locations. Tap tempo and tap division functions let you create wild rhythmic patterns, and you get further control of your sounds with the expandable external control via the 1/4" footswitch and expression pedal input or the 3.5mm TRS MIDI I/O. This pedal includes an AC adapter and four rubber feet to get your started.Analog Delay for the 21st Century Analog delays based around BBD (bucket-brigade device) chips emerged in the 1970s as a compact and cost-effective alternative to the standard tape delays of the era. Their warm, saturated, and highly musical sound established a distinctive style of delay that remains favored by many musicians and audio engineers. Leveraging modern CPU control, the DM-101 supercharges this classic effect with enhanced capabilities for today's music makers.Next-Level Performance with BOSS Innovation The DM-101 takes the analog delay where it's never gone before, providing access to cleaner sounds and extended delay times alongside traditional tones. To achieve this versatility, BOSS uses eight 2048-stage BBDs instead of the more common 4096-stage BBD. By finely tuning the behavior of these smaller BBDs with targeted CPU control, BOSS can realize a far greater range of sounds while retaining all the desirable analog characteristics that players love about their favorite BBD stomps.Sounds from Vintage to Modern The DM-101 flows effortlessly between gritty vintage echoes and modern analog delay tones with extended high-frequency clarity. Multiple internal circuit elements are switched to define each of the 12 modes, including the number of active BBDs and their connection order, low-pass filter settings, and clocking rates.Twisting the Variation knob cycles through parameters unique to the different modes. And you can always drive delays into saturated self-oscillation by cranking the Intensity knob.Stereo Delays with True Analog Warmth A major benefit of the DM-101's CPU control is the ability to realize sophisticated stereo sounds not available with other BBD analog delays. For example, Pan mode routes each BBD and its feedback loop to alternate points in the stereo field, while Dual Mod shifts the modulation phase for each output to generate a wide, spacious delay effect. Six of the 12 modes support stereo operation, providing everything from short reverblike sounds and expansive modulated delays to pattern delays for intense rhythmic effects.Complete Creative Command The DM-101 offers all the creative benefits you expect from an advanced delay pedal. Tap tempo and note subdivisions are available with most modes, and there's carryover for maintaining repeats when the effect is bypassed.You can store and recall favorite setups with four onboard memories and connect up to two footswitches or an expression pedal for extended real-time control. MIDI I/O takes things further, providing remote access to 127 user memories, MIDI sync, and more. The audio outputs are set for blended operation by default, but they can be easily reconfigured for wet/dry rigs and wet-only parallel setups.DM-101 Delay Modes Classic: Traditional warm analog delay sound extended with up to 1200 ms of delay time. Adjust the modulation behavior by cycling through triangle, sine, and more complex waveform shapes with the Variation kn
