Published on 03/19/12 at 01:37Boss DM-2 Analog Delay, Made in Japan between 1981 and 1984. There are 3 versions of the chip used but the circuit is more or less the same. The DM-2 version 1 is different from the last 2 because it has a distortion of 1% against 0.8% for the other two. The last two also generate slightly less delay time, but they sound more or less the same. Unfortunately this pedal is very rare and very very expensive (250 € on average) on the second hand market because it sounds nothing like a Digital Delay, and apparently sounds a little better than the DM-3. It is very robust, is a quality circuit, has three knobs, and is Fuchsia in color (superb!)
UTILIZATION
As has been said by another user, it is not a delay to do everything, because it is relatively short, but all the same long enough for good solo or very melodious arpeggios. So it is still very versatile, but everything depends on what one expects. Using it is very simple. The different settings are really very effective! I use it on a Blackstar Artisan 100 (Plexi equivalent) with a Hagstrom <span class="skimwords-unlinked">Swede. With</span> either clear sound in rhythm or solo, it sounds really great. Coupled to an analog and a good Overdrive Rotovive are obtained sound sublime!
But I told him so when even 10 for use as a Dm-2 it is to do one thing well not specify 50 in half!
SOUND QUALITY
It is not a lambda Delay .. By using this kind of pedal, you'd better know what you want to do.
If not, it's a quality Delay! Analog, the boss MIJ, so it's hot, it sounds, and it is indestructible. Using it with a CS-2 of the same vintage is a treat! Pink Floyd you know? ben voila!
I also have a Made-in-Japan DD3 which I could make a comparison with the DM-2, which regulates the same.
The delay of the DD-3 it seems to rise in acute frequencies with a slightly metallic color. And DM-2 for the reverse seems to descend the delay in the bass, it is fatter, deaf, and round .. It is beautiful up there end!
In short, they do not meet at all in the same way ..
The DD-3 being a bit of a delay to do everything .. with a different color, they prove to be complementary to both not necessary.
OVERALL OPINION
€ 30 bought 3 weeks ago ... (Jfais side of those who use it to those who will sell 10 times more than one week after ...) Need I say more! I despaired that to get your hands on one day can be a DM-3 for a price resonnable (about € 90/100).
I find myself filled with archi superior version of the latter than I thought just never possess one day!
Thank you again to the person who sold me of not being back in the game of auctions of people who appellées behind .. He has offered up to € 250.
This is not the first time I made the shot ... I often lose resortais unfortunately .. I have not the means and pretensions of some!
Fortunately there are still people in good faith with the principles in this world!
As they say first come first served! Raz's ass in these selfish well-filled leaves door still trying to acquire an object sold already doing all they can to influence the decision of the seller by telling him stories ptites!
A good lesson for those concerned that I have no doubt banging the head against the wall just past and those who sell at prices disproportionate just because it's "Vintage" (it's just the old technology, an era when it was known to still functional and indestructible stuff)!
So yes € 30 and it is like new!
Go Biscoto Kisses!
