The DM-101 Delay Machine represents the pinnacle of analog delay technology, blending the rich, warm tones of vintage bucket-brigade devices (BBDs) with advanced features powered by BOSS's cutting-edge CPU control. This pedal offers 12 unique delay modes, stereo operation, and an array of tonal options, all while maintaining a 100% analog signal path. With 127 user memories, tap tempo, carryover, MIDI, and more, the DM-101 combines the characterful sound of analog delays with the flexibility of modern digital pedals.
Analog delays using BBD microchips became popular in the 1970s as an alternative to tape delays. Their warm, saturated sound is beloved by musicians and audio engineers. The DM-101 enhances this classic effect with modern CPU control, allowing for more versatility and cleaner sounds while retaining the desirable analog characteristics. The DM-101 uses eight 2048-stage BBDs instead of the more common 4096-stage BBDs. This configuration, controlled by a CPU, provides a broader range of sounds, from vintage echoes to modern delays with extended high-frequency clarity. The pedal's various modes and parameters are fine-tuned for optimal performance.
The DM-101 offers 12 delay modes, each with distinct characteristics. The Classic mode provides a warm analog delay with up to 1200 ms of delay time. The Vintage mode offers a retro sound inspired by the BOSS DM-2 Delay pedal, while the Modern mode delivers a clear analog delay with a high-end tone and up to 840 ms of delay time. The Multi-Head mode emulates a multi-head tape delay with a unique BBD character, and the Non-Linear mode produces short delays that increase in volume. The Ambience mode simulates a small space with adjustable size and reflections, and the Reflect mode provides a stereo delay with a reverb-like effect. The Doubling+Delay mode combines a doubled sound with a longer delay, the Wide mode offers a stereo delay with offset left/right times for an expansive sound, and the Dual Mod mode provides a stereo delay with different modulation phases on each output. The Pan mode offers a tapped stereo delay with varied delay times across the sound field, while the Pattern mode provides a stereo delay with different rhythmic patterns.
The DM-101 provides numerous features for creative control, including tap tempo, note subdivisions, and carryover. Four onboard memories allow for quick recall of favourite setups, and external footswitches or expression pedals can extend real-time control. MIDI I/O enables remote access to user memories, synchronisation, and more.
A major benefit of the DM-101's CPU control is the ability to realise 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, creating a spacious delay effect. Six of the 12 modes support stereo operation, offering everything from short, reverb-like sounds to complex rhythmic patterns.
