Classic sound meets modern power with the BOSS DM-101 Delay Machine effects pedal, the ultimate analog delay. Driven by eight BBDs under smart CPU control, this inspiring pedal delivers 12 unique modes, stereo operation and a wide array of tonal colors, all while maintaining 100% analog signal processing throughout. Plus, with 127 user memories, tap tempo, carryover, MIDI and more, the DM-101 brings you the features and versatility of an advanced digital pedal—but with the vibrant, characterful sound that’s only possible with authentic analog BBD circuitry.

Next-Level Performance 

The DM-101 takes the analog delay where it’s never gone before, providing access to cleaner sounds and extended delay times alongside traditional tones. To achieve this versatility, eight 2048-stage BBDs we used instead of the more common 4096-stage BBD. By finely tuning the behavior of these smaller BBDs with targeted CPU control, a far greater range of sound is produced while retaining all the desirable analog characteristics that players love about their favorite BBD stomps.

Sounds From Vintage to Modern

The DM-101 effects pedal flows effortlessly between gritty vintage echoes and modern analog delay tones with extended high-frequency clarity. Multiple internal circuit elements are switched to define each of the 12 modes, including the number of active BBDs and their connection order, low-pass filter settings and clocking rates. Twisting the Variation knob cycles through parameters unique to the different modes. Plus, you can always drive delays into saturated self-oscillation by cranking the Intensity knob.  

Stereo Delays With True Analog Warmth

A major benefit of the DM-101’s CPU control is the ability to realize sophisticated stereo sounds not available with other BBD analog delays. For example, Pan mode routes each BBD and its feedback loop to alternate points in the stereo field, while Dual Mod shifts the modulation phase for each output to generate a wide, spacious delay effect. Six of the 12 modes support stereo operation, providing everything from short reverb-like sounds and expansive modulated delays to pattern delays for intense rhythmic effects.

    Have a plethora of analog and digital delay. The DM-101 is musical and inspirational. Love the look, layout and controlability. The only thing I would ask for is tone adjustment for the repeats, for those times I'd like to brighten it up. Regardless, Best analog delay I've used.

  • NOTHING better than Analog delay sound

    I've been using digital delaysf or so long, even those that emulate analog & tape delays quite well, I forgot what it was like to use a real one. Didn't think there really was much difference. But this really sounds VERY different and REAL. Problem is different options sound similar.
