- Get the BOSS DC-2w here: www.sweetwater...
The one and only Dimensional Chorus effect is back, in the BOSS DC-2W Dimension C Waza Pedal. Loaded with premium analog circuitry, the DC-2W not only nails the sound of the original DC-2 Dimension C pedal - it also offers a spot-on re-creation of the original SDD-320 Dimension D rack effects processor that started it all. The retro-style preset buttons also offer access to different variations on the effect, for a total of 20 different sounds. Complete with stereo I/O, the BOSS DC-2W Dimension C Waza Pedal is a great choice for guitar and bass, keyboards, and even studio mixing sessions.

Amazing how for a pedal demo they used a true stereo setup with 2 real amps and 2 mics on each... Again for "just" a pedal demo. Well done!
One can clearly hear the vintage DC-2 clipping the signal peaks of Mitch's guitar playing at 5:53 while the same phrase on the DC-2w at 5:33 is clean. Seems BOSS addressed the DC-2 headroom issue in the Waza. Big thumbs up!
Yes!. I could never use my DC-2 on a pedalboard for this exact reason. The clipping drove me nuts.
Same here. I always avoided it because of this. The behringer version also did the same thing. I couldn't deal with it and returned it. Might have to give this Waza one a shot.
The number 23.
I had the same issue back in the day: I owned three different units thinking the first two were defective. Glad to hear they seem to have resolved this.
Great Job Mitch. Fantastic Pedal. This is the Waza . . . I have been waiting for. You guys at Sweetwater do a great job.
😎👍
Thank you for a cool pedal. Lots of sounds on one pedal. Even if they're presets with no turning knobs and you can layer 2 functions at a time and get more out of this pedal.
Nobody told Mitch that its possible to pair settings, ah well. Good demo nonetheless.
Was wondering about that myself. Does the 1985 dimension C allow that too?
@@jessejarrar Nope. The buttons on the original were mechanical clickers and you could not press two down at the same time.
This was the secret of SRV’s sound. But he used a rack unit by Roland called the dimension D which he used on several David Bowies recordings, including let’s dance. He used it on his own records also.
You can get his sound by switching to the dimension d sound on the pedal with the switch.
Awesome demonstration, Mitch!
It’s cool how the edited in Draculas hand on the pedal close ups.
Love the black guard against the blue on the tele
I wish it was pearlescent black. That would be amazing.
This was truly a great demo.
Thanks kindly for the informative introduction video. Sometimes it's challenging to cut through all the hype to understand the intent of a pedal. It sounds very nice and I learned enough to determine if this device should go on my want to purchase list.
Thanks for watching, Ross! 🙂👍
I can't wait to get mine, I have 67 other pedals, but don't have a DC-2w, yet. Just ordered one!
This has best sound quality of all DC-2w demos.
I'm on the Pre-Order list. Can't wait!
Two other killer features which you didn't mention but are obvious from just seeing the pedal. The LEDs on the buttons, and Stereo in!
Cool stereo sound ~ Love the Tele Mitch...
Great soundsling pedal, but wow that telecaster, that humbucker bridge single coil sized humbucker neck is like my dream telecaster setup
Great pedal! Also love that Tele you're playing!
I've got the original pedal, but definitely some features on this that make me consider purchasing the re-issue. What do you think about the tone comparison between old and new Mitch? Better? Or not quite so good, but worth taking the hit for the upgraded features on the new version?
Would like to hear an analog synth with this pedal.

Look at THE CLAW!
Good demo just wish you demo’d how it would sound with some gain/overdrive.
Why am I getting a massive DB gain when this is engaged. Professional installation on my board.
Very nice demo. Why didn't you show that you can pair presets for new tones?
Seems the newer one is a bit brighter/thinner than the vintage pedal ... which tends to be the way with modern production pedals: 5:49 ... 6:09
hi mitch do you know when this will be available here in the philippjnes? and i commend you for your excellent demo on the dc-2 kudos to you and to sweetwater! :)
I don't know if i'm crazy but the original just sounds better to me. I love the clipping, it adds a bite to it that the W just doesn't have.
This guy does good presentations.
Amazing sounds
Hey great video, 👍. I have two questions, what model telecaster is that with a Humbucker in the bridge? Now I am debating whether to get this pedal or the Boss CE-2W? Based on this video I am leaning towards the dimension. Which has the better sounding Chorus?
Hello, Angel! Both pedals are analog and sound great. Depends on what you want sonically. If you want the Nirvana/Cure LFO warble (with more bottom end), then CE-2W. If you want a high-fi multi line modulation (Purple Rain intro/Rush - Hemispheres), then Dimension DC-2w.
Thanks for your question and interest. Please contact me direct for more information!

Thanks again!
@@sweetwater Hi I forgot again, I play alot of 1980s music, think of the Police , Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House, Paradise City, that kind of music.
I am really curious to know whether this pedal sounds much different than my MD-500 unit. The MD has Dimension chorus in it but it is digital.
Maybe this is out of topic but Line6 Helix has it modeled inside and this is chorus effect I use mostly. :)
Does the rackmount setting provide different phasing than the standard mode? I use it with a stereo guitar, and there seems to be some difference in stereo separation between the two modes. On pedal mode both amps signals are separated completely. On rack mode there is some bleed to the other amp - and signal seems summed out of phase.
Why don't you have these amps anymore?
Great demo.
I've been wondering, if when you go out of both outputs of this pedal is it actually creating a true sterio effect(as in, one side/output would be different from the other to create the effect, or would it be the same if I just went out of a single output(mono) of the pedal, and then into a splitter going to my 2 amps/cabs?
Hello, James! This pedal is designed to accept two inputs, which could then be run out of two dedicated stereo outputs. Basically, it will maintain a stereo signal path via input/output A and B, or it could take a mono input and split it into two identical mono outputs, if desired. I do hope that answers your question. Please don't hesitate to reach out directly if we may add further clarity.
Thanks for your interest!

Yo Mitch, that Guitar is gorgeous.
Curious. Will anyone here be bringing 2 combos to a shows and telling a sound person' " I play in stereo and please mic em both" Will anyone here use the amps fx send / returns to and from the pedalboard to achieve this?
Another great video!!!!!!!!! Thanks.
How did the Band Called ‘O’ manage the same effect in the early 1970s. Listen to ‘A Smile is a Diamond’ here on TH-cam
That tele 🤘
Is this the "Flesh for Fantasy" guitar sound?
Yes, Steve Stevens used the Rack version so it's: in-the-ballpark. I have this pedal & it's great.
best chorus sound I've ever heard
Ever, really? Lol
Would it be redundant to use both Dimensions C and CE2 Chorus together?
Thank you
Hi and thanks for your question, hope all is well. Cascading one pedal into the other is a phenomenal idea. So many amazing sounds that you couldn’t get out of one or the other. The two choruses are very different sonically and work great together. You could also run one on each side in mono or stereo for a really expansive soundscape.
Please contact us direct with other questions as you have them!

@@sweetwater
Awesome news! Thank you so much getting back and the information!
I look forward to getting my dimension C 🤘🏼
Sounds like tha waza version has a better buffer...?
beautiful guitar...any one knows wht tele model is it?
Wheres the overdive clip?
Can it take a fuzztone slamed into it?
Please show how you ran it into the fx loops of the two amps
Mitch Gallagher makes perfect sense to me now! Also I love the sound of the Seymour Duncan’s in that tele!
Mitch Gallagher then your tele goes straight into the front of both amps?
Just over here staring at that guitar.
If I use the pedal with mono amp in the FX loop, will I hear stereo through the headphones?
@Mitch Gallagher thanks Mitch
sounds great, but what about Distorted tones, like Randy Rhoads or any 80s doubling lead Metal
They'll be released next week, and I'm on the list for mine. It's going to run out quick!
Plenty on Amazon right now.
Wow Mitch, nice to see you lost some weight.
First preset reminds me to the eventide doubler effect
Mitch, love your demos. But please quit the sideview camera. Man, that is irritating.
I ordered. CNt wait.
Those talons
Great sounding pedal!! Is it possible to run the 2 outputs of this pedal to 2 separate channels on a mixer?
Hey Charles, thanks for your question. Hope all are safe and well your way. This pedal is optimized to work with HI-Z instrument signals. You can absolutely connect one input to the source and then the two outputs to AUX returns on a mixer which is line level. Care has to be taken with gain staging so it's possible. Not knowing more about your implementation and signal flow, my answer is limited. Contact me direct for more details.

Any details available on that Tele?
Mitch Gallagher Looks awesome. Sweetwater should sell them!
Hello, why does Sweetwater.com website not work?
The original cost $230 in the 80’s? Wow
That would be about $550 in 2019 money.
I wonder if this could work on a keyboard, like the Korg SV-1
Hello, Mateo. Thanks for your interest in the Boss DC-2W and Sweetwater Sound! So, your question reminded me of the days long ago when I ran my electric piano (Rhodes or Wurly) through many pedal effects. The short answer is yes, that will work. But, a Korg SV-1 already has a chorus effect built in, so I'd ask the question, why? True, all chorus effects are different, but are you really dissatisfied with SV-1 chorus?
Hope that helps and anytime you want to talk more I'm always available.
Greg Savino, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, greg_savino@sweetwater.com
Sweetwater thanks for replying! I love my Korg SV-1 and the chorus effects that it has. I agree that those are more than what i need, but listening to this Boss pedal makes me wonder if my Rhodes or Wurly patches could sound better! In any case, i do like what the SV-1 offers
What blue is that?
Boss doesn't consider it a chorus pedal though.
Is it silly to want this while already owning a CE-2w??
no
How would this sound on a bass guitar, like upper register?
Hello, Ian! I actually really like this pedal on bass! It gives a really good 80's rock bass vibe.
Thanks for the interest!

I hear this is another digital VST in a pedal on both circuits despite all the marketing.
As you move through the presets, DON'T TALK between them! By the time the next one is demo'd, the listener's ear has forgotten what the previous one sounded like. Should just play thru #1, then immediately play the same thing thru #2, and so on. THEN give whatever explanations you want. Just a suggestion for future (similar) demos.
👍🇺🇸❤VINTAGE
Sounds good. Those nails though...
i have this pedal and it’s just ok. maybe i’ve just moved on from the 80s
That tremolo bar makes me uncomfortable
I wan dis. ayyo wy no one wat my vid-e-oZ
Those fingernails though 🤮
Those nails could kill an elephant!
Why even bother have them when you play with a pick?
Don't get it 🤔
This guy is TERRIBLE.
Chorus pedals were a bad sound then and a bad sound now. Mitch do I notice that although you've shortened your hair but you've lost a bit of weight too?
You think so? I love the sound!
