Boss DM-2W Delay Waza Craft
Boss · pedal
The Boss DM-2W Delay Waza Craft is a Waza Craft reissue of the classic early-1980s DM-2 analog bucket-brigade delay, delivering the same fat, warm, natural analog echo with characteristic dark, gently rolled-off repeats but without the clock noise that plagued the original. Its all-analog signal path gives soft, organic repeats that decay into murk, and a Custom mode extends the maximum delay from 300 to 800 milliseconds while adding warmth and clarity for a more modern analog-delay sound, with a sweet, addictive flutter on the repeats. Having both the old-school dark Standard voice and the clearer Custom voice in one box lets players straddle vintage murk and modern clarity. With expression pedal input and stereo outputs, it suits players wanting genuine vintage analog delay character for slapback, ambient repeats, and warm rhythmic echoes across rock, blues, and indie.
