Product description Boss DM-101
The BOSS DM-101 Delay Machine is your remedy for intense cravings for analog delay. This digitally controlled, BBD-powered guitar effects pedal offers you 12 inspiring modes, ranging from gritty, vintage-like slaps to crystal-clear, modern-sounding repeats. The DM-101's modulation section includes controls for rate and depth, as well as a variation knob for added versatility. Additionally, you get stereo operation with flexible routing options, selectable carryover to prevent cut-off delay trails, and tap tempo with note subdivisions.
The DM-101 Delay Machine is the ultimate solution when it comes to combining vintage sound and modern flexibility. While the pedal utilizes modern CPU control, its sound remains 100% analog - every audio signal passing through the DM-101 remains untouched by digital processing. Inside this stompbox, you'll find eight 2,048-stage bucket brigade devices that deliver a warm, saturated, and highly musical tone. However, thanks to the digital control, you retain a level of control not achievable with typical BBD analog delays.
The Delay Machine features 12 modes that cover the full range of analog delay effects, from gritty vintage echoes to modern analog delays with extended high-frequency clarity. These modes are not the result of digital modeling; they are thoroughly analog. The DM-101 achieves this versatility through various circuit elements, such as the number of active BBD chips, the order of the BBD chips, low-pass filter settings, and clock frequencies.
For enthusiasts of the warm, saturated sound of analog delay seeking precise digital control, the DM-101 Delay Machine offers the perfect blend. With its flexibility, it can easily hold its own against any modern digital offering. Whether you prefer traditional warm analog tones or find inspiration in crystal-clear sounds with pronounced high-end, the DM-101 has exactly what you need.
Get ready for a warm, analog delay sound character and discover the versatility of the Boss DM-101 Delay Machine.

Important questions about the article Boss DM-101
Question: Does the Boss DM-101 keep the audio signal analogue even though the pedal is digitally controlled?
Answer: Yes. The CPU controls the functions, while the audio signal is processed entirely through analogue BBD circuitry.
Question: What sound styles do the 12 delay modes cover?
Answer: The modes range from classic and vintage delays to clearer modern sounds, Multi-Head, Ambience, and rhythmic Pattern effects. Depending on the mode, the Variation knob changes different parameters.
Question: Is the DM-101 suitable for a stereo setup?
Answer: Yes. Six of the twelve modes operate in stereo, and the outputs can be configured for blended signals, wet/dry rigs, or parallel wet-only setups.
Question: Are fading repeats cut off when the effect is switched off?
Answer: Not necessarily. With the Carryover function enabled, delay repeats continue to fade out when the effect is bypassed.
Question: How many custom sounds can I store?
Answer: The pedal provides four memory locations in addition to the current panel setting. Up to 127 user memories can be recalled via MIDI Program Change.
Question: Can I tap the delay tempo by foot and synchronise it to the song tempo?
Answer: Yes. Tap tempo and rhythmic subdivisions are available in most modes; MIDI tempo synchronisation is also available.
Question: Which MIDI connections does the DM-101 use?
Answer: The MIDI input and output use mini TRS jacks. They can be used, among other things, to control memories remotely and use MIDI sync.
Question: Can operation be expanded with an additional footswitch or expression pedal?
Answer: Yes. Up to two external footswitches or one expression pedal can be connected for expanded real-time control.
