It's a great "set and forget" analog delay. Probably the best for the money. Better than the Carbon Copy. I use an Earthquaker Disaster Transport and it's soooo chewey, I love it! Great tape delay tones, and you can set it to soud more like an analog delay as well
The best you tube DM2 demo which has forced me to buy the DM2 over the DD8 - Enjoy all ur videos Pete - pure magic .,, All your videos give a fun peek into the pro guitar world ....and ur delicious skilful playing - Respect from Southampton UK
Great review, some awesome sounds there! Just a quick correction though: The DM-2 didn't come out until '81. ElectroHarmonix and MXR had analog delays in the mid '70s and Boss had the DM-1 (which wasn't bucket brigade but other analog components) out in '78, so they would be the granddaddy delays.
Yer the reason i just got this i love it got foot controller hours of fun. Never really used analog delay they were always to short. Lots of control w/this petal.
Great demo Pete, I have the Waza Craft SD-1w and BD-2w and after watching that demo I'll be picking up DM-2w. That country rockabilly picking at 3:41 was mighty fine.
Pete, do you feel a delay, reverb, echo, etc, pedal, is better in front of the amp, or in the effects loop? Btw, great video, as usual man!!! Keep on rocking and inspiring!!
Pete - man - you are an amazing musician. Wonderful music and playing. This is probably some of the sweetest music I've heard on You Tube. Where's your album ? It'll sell better than anything else. Subscribing. Sharing. Wish you all the best
Pete - do you tend to buy stock guitars, where you like what you see/hear and call it a day or do you tend to tweak the pickups, hardware etc.? Just curious.
Just ordered mine from Prymaxe. Couldn't pass up the 20% off. Cheaper than what people are asking for used ones on Reverb. Funny that the vintage DM2 was going for $350. on ebay before the Waza Craft came out. People like the Waza so much it drastically dropped the price of the vintage units.
Thoroughly enjoyed this demo of the DM2w. I've been debating for a while whether I should pull the trigger on this (especially after purchasing a Strymon DIG) but I think the two stacked would produce some lovely delay tones. My wife doesn't thank you for emptying my wallet (again!)...
Hey Pete, You've demo'd a lot of delay pedals (Thank you) I gotta say, to me, this is the most musical of the bunch! Would this ever find its way onto your pedal board to replace the Strymon or maybe compliment it? I'm looking for my first delay pedal. Would you use this or the Strymon for your first. Thank you, as always!
I think Boss really needs to release a new version of this pedal where the ext jack allows also for a tap tempo like the DD7, that would be a killer upgrade.
Pete, My name is Doc...Greetings! Hey........ Please help me out with a Setting for the Tune "Crazy Diamond" by Floyd....Predominately the leads...Man, these Dials are sensitive! **Another thing...I have a Fulltone Noiseless "Regulated" 9Vt FPS-1 ( Input; 120vac, 60hz, 8watts) + (Output; 9vdc, 200ma) sleeve + & pin - This Power Adaptor will work, right? Rock'on Pete!
This or the Flashback 2? I already have a Hall Of Fame 2 reverb. I’ve heard good things about this one, but I’m not sure if I need the tape delay or other modes the TC offers. This is my first delay pedal.
Curious your thoughts on this vs the Strymon El Cap. Nobody has done a proper comparison between the 2, or Maxon AD900 Panasonic Chip based Delay on you tube. Guess the question being, do you think the El Cap captures the character and warmth of what makes this pedal special? Or do you think it's worth having this as a compliment?
nice sound but if I have to mess with it live or touch it to adjust tempo then it's not really usable , just picked up a fractal FX8 , WOOOOHOOO , probably the best processor I've ever owned
One thing about this pedal , it's not stereo in . That's means you can't hook up the CE2 stereo into it to get all the lush sounds of that pedal. Normally you would put the delay pedal after the modulation so I think Boss have missed a trick here.
pedal seems VERY nice. It's just too bad the transients are so mushed together in the repeats, compared to tape/digital... always seems to be like that with BBD stuff. Have a nice day, Pete, I have to admire how pro and full of effort/passion these reviews are... I was actually stuck with the Rototron riffs in my head for quite a while! Haha. Had to get back just to listen to the riffs, that's how cool I think it sounds...
Another excellent video and thanks so much for the analog slapback tip on Ain't Talking 'bout Love!! For years I've also been trying to simulate it with strumming! :)
That intro reminded me of Bergerac title song (british detective-drama /w John Nettles). Nice job! I really like that pedal, if I'd use any (my fx-rig is mostly digital/emulation+MIDI). And you nailed the 'Ain't talking bout love' delaytone totally.
Hmm difficult choice a year ago between Strymon and the X4 both capable in their own right, but I'm still out with the jury on this one. Its a great pedal in all that we can make it do. I'll let you figure out which pedal made it to the board eventually but ah the comment, 'wife not happy for draining the wallet again' we do what we do mate enjoy the gear, charge
Would this be good for beefing up a rhythm guitar? I was originally considering a chorus pedal but want to check out all available options without using a doubler.
I love analog delay. So I bought one of these. Boss has knocked it out of the park.$150 makes it pricey for Boss, but I'd put this up against any super pricey boutique delay. But it has all the trappings of those high dollar pedals. It comes in this cool vinyl coated box, it feels super hefty, you have the option of the trick wet/dry setup but most importantly is sounds friggin great. Classic BB delay, but doesn't otherwise alter tone. I use digital delay too, but if I could have only one pedal....this is it. BTW: I love your playing......so melodic. Not just noodle bullshit.
Boss pedals are really great reliable units though, nonetheless. . . Too bad you can't get things like home appliances and such that are as road worthy. lol
I can't believe how coveted some of these old pedals are. I remember that pedal and the light blue chorus seeming obsolete when their replacements came along. People wanted better high end response in newer stuff. Same went for all the rack mount multi-echo bits. As time went on you didn't lose as much high end. . . as things evolved.
What a great demo! I particularly loved the reggae stuff. The DM2-w really shines on that style. Killer playing throughout, though. Thanks for posting this.
+Pete Thorn - I came, I saw, bought the t-shirt, drank the Canadian-infused Kool-aid and some may call me a sucker, but I purchased & received this Waza piece of masterfulness at my doorstep today. All due to the wizardry of Mr Pete Thorn on his epic Tele of Doom and his insightful and informative presentation of this pedal. Pete Thorn is the salt that brings out the "flavuh" in whatever he chooses to play for our viewing pleasure. Ok...so that was a little over the top :) but I do really appreciate your demo of this pedal, Pete...I bought it and am having a lot of fun writing new guitar bits with it that will hopefully morph into complete songs in the near future.
Every demo I see of Pete's is fantastic! They all make me want to try the gear which is what I assume is the intent of the demo. But, of course I realize what makes all these videos so great is Pete. His writing and playing is spot on.
Pete great demo as always, how do you like this pedal in comparison to the TC flashback or MXR carbon copy as I'm looking for a new delay between these three. I want a pedal that works great with clean channels and heavy distortion also Thanks
Pete, at this point I think I'd watch you demo an office chair. Awesome as always.
+wgb01001 I think we should start a petition, for Pete to do a joke review of an office chair. See how seriously he can keep a straight face!
Where’s the office chair demo? I want to watch it too, I bet Pete is amazing in that too.
This made me laugh but I know what you mean 🤣
It's a great "set and forget" analog delay. Probably the best for the money. Better than the Carbon Copy.
I use an Earthquaker Disaster Transport and it's soooo chewey, I love it! Great tape delay tones, and you can set it to soud more like an analog delay as well
There's something magical about that Tele.Great demo!
Please..please..make a video on how you develop the bass & drum tracks for your demo tunes. All of them are so clean & tight.
The best you tube DM2 demo which has forced me to buy the DM2 over the DD8 -
Enjoy all ur videos Pete - pure magic .,,
All your videos give a fun peek into the pro guitar world ....and ur delicious skilful playing -
Respect from Southampton UK
Agree, its like my little secret pro insider channel
I don’t know how may times I’ve seen this video, the intro song is amazing!
Pete Thorn is an excellent resource to source out gear, and his playing is phenomenal. Cheers.
This pedal's awesome. Pete's ability only makes it sound better!
When you 'played ain't talkin' bout love' my 18 month old son who was watching this with me said 'yay!' I think he's on the right track! Haha..
After 4 years this is still a killer demo from a killer player. Great Channel!
another sick demo. Also dig the new hair Pete.
I would to hear that song you played at the intro on your next CD Pete! Great stuff, always the best demos.
Great review, some awesome sounds there! Just a quick correction though: The DM-2 didn't come out until '81. ElectroHarmonix and MXR had analog delays in the mid '70s and Boss had the DM-1 (which wasn't bucket brigade but other analog components) out in '78, so they would be the granddaddy delays.
I was not expecting you to go the C# at 00:55. I just added that lick to my arsenal. Thanks!
Awesome pedal, awesome tones. I have an original DM-2, and have been considering the DM-2w for the longer delay times. Thanks for the video Pete!
Pete, your playing here, is exquisite! Look forward to more of your songwriting and improvising...always a treat, as usual, Pete.
I had an original DM-2 and I always put it in front. Sounded so good when the amp was a little dirty, very QotSA esque. Great demo as always, Pete.
great review as usual Pete!
Yer the reason i just got this i love it got foot controller hours of fun. Never really used analog delay they were always to short. Lots of control w/this petal.
Another quality demo by Pete Thorn; that warmth and dirt of dm2w is simply amazing, and oh, two thumbs up for that Haircut too!
Awesome demo dude, really dig this pedal!
great video!! cheers from Chile!!
Saw Chris Cornell just the another night and he actually ended the set with some crazy space ship level vocal oscillations! Great stuff!
Jack Archer 😕
Well damn :(
@@chrisdee5032 It still hurts :(
fuck…
@@christopherrusch :/ definitely a painful reminder
Hey Pete, way off point here, but what would be your "desert island guitar"? Curious, that's all. Thanks!
Hard to pick!! I dunno I'd really have to think
Great demo Pete, I have the Waza Craft SD-1w and BD-2w and after watching that demo I'll be picking up DM-2w. That country rockabilly picking at 3:41 was mighty fine.
Thanks Mud!
Pete - such a great guitar player. Proficient in any style. Always so insightful & informative. Appreciate you sharing the knowledge.
Pete, do you feel a delay, reverb, echo, etc, pedal, is better in front of the amp, or in the effects loop? Btw, great video, as usual man!!! Keep on rocking and inspiring!!

Pete, your demos are GREAT! Thoughtful, knowledgable, and no BS. Thanks
Came for the pedal review....stayed for your playing. awesome stuff friend.
Was that song just improv? You’re a helluva fine player, Pete!
Pete - do you tend to buy stock guitars, where you like what you see/hear and call it a day or do you tend to tweak the pickups, hardware etc.? Just curious.
best delay pedal.....
Keep coming back to this video, love the tone of that Tele
Any specs on it, or do you cover it in any other video, Pete?
Just ordered mine from Prymaxe. Couldn't pass up the 20% off. Cheaper than what people are asking for used ones on Reverb. Funny that the vintage DM2 was going for $350. on ebay before the Waza Craft came out. People like the Waza so much it drastically dropped the price of the vintage units.
spicecrop how do you like it today?

This pedal is a keeper. Baugh one after I saw this demo by Pete. The standard mode is amazing. Legendary. God bless
Istvan De Jesús how is it 1 year later?
Hey Pete, You've demo'd a lot of delay pedals (Thank you) I gotta say, to me, this is the most musical of the bunch!

Thank you, as always!
hey man! awesome review!!!!
is there any mod for this pedal to make the trails continue to fade out naturally when the delay is bypassed??
I think Boss really needs to release a new version of this pedal where the ext jack allows also for a tap tempo like the DD7, that would be a killer upgrade.
The 335 suites you man! Lovely interesting playing!
Was torn between an MXR CC or this, and I think this might have helped to seal the deal, such a nice sound.
immediately hit the like button after first note you played !

Pete, if you could only take one delay pedal to the gig and your choice was between a Boss DM-2W or a Boss DD-3, which pedal would you take?
That intro reminded me of Bergerac title song (british detective-drama /w John Nettles). Nice job! I really like that pedal, if I'd use any (my fx-rig is mostly digital/emulation+MIDI). And you nailed the 'Ain't talking bout love' delaytone totally.
Pete what fender tele model is that and what color is it? Thx. Bob

Loving the Gil Yaron LP! Cheers from Argentina
Thanks man! Great video! Thanks for the settings! I was just about to sell the pedal now that i understand it, I’m keeping it.

Same went for all the rack mount multi-echo bits.
As time went on you didn't lose as much high end. . . as things evolved.
Pete, you're like the Michael Jordan of demos. You've elevated the game to a new level. (now if you could just get paid like Jordan)
Great presentation, I've just got one and I like it. I love that Les Paul!!!Thanks.
Pete, do you have the exact settings for that VH tune, Ain't Talkin About Love? Thanks.
Pete busting out some flat picking chops on the Tele?! Nice! I knew there were some country guitar licks in that bag of tricks somewhere 🤘🏼
Love the BOSS pedals! Great work Pete!
Nice demo Pete what year is your ES 335 ? Mine is 1990
So good for slapback
What a great demo! I particularly loved the reggae stuff. The DM2-w really shines on that style. Killer playing throughout, though. Thanks for posting this.
That last part of this video was very helpful. I'm going to try that to fill in my sound
can you still get the same charm out of an analog delay through an fx loop or should you might as well go digital?
This is a great demo and full application of the pedal for under 10 minutes of time spent.... thanks for the video!
Really impressed with this pedal.. and that's a mighty fine Gibson ES-335 if I am not mistaken... what year is that?
1963! No guitars in this song made post -66
Thanks for playing it in front of the amp with distortion!!! It was just what I was looking for!
I think that in Japanese "Waza" must mean 'damn, that Canadian kid can play some badass guitar' :)
+Wrekking Cru thanks!

That is a great vid the song possibility is unlimited really. killer revue.
great playing Pete
am torn in between the mxr carbon copy , Maxon ad10 and the boss dm2w
Cool pedal not as good as the original though. Good Demo Pete!!!!
Every demo I see of Pete's is fantastic! They all make me want to try the gear which is what I assume is the intent of the demo. But, of course I realize what makes all these videos so great is Pete. His writing and playing is spot on.
Fantastic, in depth demo/review. Thanks for sharing.
Opening demo composition was outstanding! Ready to buy the pedal...ready to buy the tune.
I'm fan of your work!! from JAPAN
Could I get The Edge's effects (ish) with this one?
You have all my gear, please ship it back. :)
That intro song is killa
Awesome as always Pete you get the coolest pedals.
+Shi-nu Asami Thanks! :)
Pete great demo as always, how do you like this pedal in comparison to the TC flashback or MXR carbon copy as I'm looking for a new delay between these three. I want a pedal that works great with clean channels and heavy distortion also Thanks
You're very good.
Does anybody know, if this has trails when you turn it off? I've looked around, but haven't found any info about this.
Guru nah. I bought one yeaterday and it doesn't. I loved it. I recommend it 11/10
0:55 = Pete Thorn moving into demo-ing cool bass tones & lines :)
That is the quintessential analog delay sound. Great demo, Pete!
Nice demo
Excellent video. Thank you!
Really great track at the beginning! Loved the feel! Very inspiring
That's one beautiful vintage les paul Pete 👏👏
This just made me just the dm2w over a jhs lucky cat
Nice start of video, Very nice
Great demo! Pretty good haircut :)
What's the song at 7:00? I know it but I just can't place it...
That would be Van Halen ain’t Talkin bout love good sir
