The Boss DC-2W Waza Craft Dimension C Chorus Pedal is currently retailing at £205 and it is in stock. Available to be delivered to you by post direct (some charge may apply).The team at Just Pedals think that Boss nailed it with the Boss DC-2W Waza Craft Dimension C Chorus Pedal.
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.
You’d be forgiven to pass this off as a simple chorus, but it’s 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 analog mode, compared to the original singular analog design. The DC-2W utilises these two independent circuits – the S and SDD-320 modes – to drastically widen sonic possibilities.
It’s 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 you’ve got plenty to experiment with. 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. You’ll hear this sprawled over Stevie Ray Vaughan’s guitar work and Brian Eno’s 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 mono’s fluctuations.
WAZA Craft
In Japanese, ‘Waza’ means art or technique. That’s 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.
