This highly collectible pedal features a very distinctive four button selection system that allowed you to easily select between a few preset chorus, flanger, and leslie sounds. The effect parameters are fixed so there is no room for tweaking but the stock sounds are pretty stunning. Button 1 is a mellow flange sound, buttons 2 and 3 offer up some smooth chorus sounds, and button 4 does a bubbly leslie simulation. If you're looking for wild sounds you may want to pass on this pedal as it's really all about subtlety. I can really see why so many Nashville session guitarists have these in their rigs. The DC-2 is also used by quite a few atmospheric guitarists (Cocteau Twins and Smashing Pumpkins). Throw a Boss DC-2 Dimension C in with a long delay and a washy reverb and you'll end up with some very nice shifting ambient sounds. |
