Two Legends in One Stomp Box
Some effects are timeless enough that guitarists, keyboardists, and studio engineers have been chasing them for decades — and the Boss Dimension C is absolutely one of them. The DC-2W Waza Craft brings that classic spatial effect back in a single compact pedal, and it doesn't stop at just one vintage circuit. You get both the original DC-2 Dimension C and the legendary Roland SDD-320 Dimension D rack unit it was built from — two distinct analog voicings, one pedalboard-friendly box.
What makes the Dimension effect different from a typical chorus? Rather than the swooping, wave-like modulation most chorus pedals produce, the Dimension effect adds width and depth to your sound without an obvious wobble. It makes your guitar feel bigger, more spread across the stereo field — spatial without calling attention to itself. Players often describe it as something they don't notice until they turn it off.
The DC-2W suits guitarists and keyboardists who want to thicken their tone naturally, add stereo width to a clean rig, or capture that unmistakable shimmer of 1980s studio recordings — without sacrificing their original tone in the process.
Two Modes, Twenty Sounds
The DC-2W's two effect modes are where the real depth lives. Standard (S) mode replicates the original DC-2 Dimension C pedal — the same circuit that made the original a collector's item. SDD-320 mode authentically reproduces the vintage Roland SDD-320 Dimension D, a studio rack effect heard on countless records since its debut in 1979.
Each mode gives you four main sounds via the iconic four-button preset interface, updated with modern electronic switches and LED status indicators. Press two buttons simultaneously and you unlock six additional "in-between" variations per mode — a trick the original mechanical switches couldn't manage. Across both modes, that works out to 20 distinct Dimension sounds from just four buttons and a mode switch.
All-Analog Circuitry with Modern Refinements
The DC-2W is built on all-analog audio circuitry, staying true to the original Dimension effect's character while incorporating design improvements that the vintage units simply couldn't offer. The bypass circuit has been redesigned compared to the original DC-2, and a premium buffer circuit keeps your tone transparent when the pedal is switched off — useful for anyone running longer cable runs or a more complex signal chain.
The pedal is powered by a 9V DC power supply (Boss PSA adapter) or a standard 9V battery, and it's made in Japan — a hallmark of the Waza Craft line's commitment to build quality and component selection.
Stereo I/O for Any Rig
The DC-2W's versatile I/O handles both mono and stereo applications. You get dual 1/4" inputs (A and B) and dual 1/4" outputs (A and B), so it fits naturally into mono guitar rigs, stereo pedalboards, keyboard setups, and even studio mixing situations. Run it in stereo into two amps and the spatial effect really opens up — the kind of spread that makes a simple chord progression feel massive.
Whether you're plugging in a single guitar or routing it through a full wet/dry/wet rig, the DC-2W integrates cleanly. It's equally at home in front of an amp or in an effects loop.
