Authentic vintage 1980s Boss DM-3 Delay pedal, manufactured in Japan with its original green bottom label fully intact.

The DM-3 is widely celebrated as one of the finest analog bucket-brigade (BBD) delay pedals ever produced by Roland/Boss. Built around the legendary Panasonic MN3205 BBD chip, it delivers rich, warm, organic repeats and classic slapback echo that blend seamlessly behind your main guitar tone without adding harshness.

Key Features & Details:

 Made in Japan: Features the highly sought-after green ACA bottom label with clear, sharp text.

 100 Percent Functional: Thoroughly tested and working perfectly. Control knobs (Repeat Rate, Echo, Intensity) and jacks operate smoothly with clean audio response.

 Cosmetic Condition: Authentic vintage condition with honest player wear and edge paint chips typical for a 40-year-old pedal. Top panel, text graphics, and bottom label remain very clean and legible.

 Power Requirement: Operates on a standard 9V battery, a vintage 12V ACA adapter, or a standard 9V DC pedalboard supply when daisy-chained with other 9V pedals.

Shipping & Handling:

The pedal will be carefully wrapped and shipped promptly via USPS with full Reverb Safe Shipping insurance and tracking provided.
