Boss DM-101 Delay Machine

Meet the Ultimate Analog Delay
Classic sound meets modern power with the DM-101 Delay Machine, the ultimate analog delay. Driven by eight BBDs under smart CPU control, this inspiring pedal delivers 12 unique modes, stereo operation, and a wide array of tonal colors, all while maintaining 100 percent analog signal processing throughout. And with 127 user memories, tap tempo, carryover, MIDI, and more, the DM-101 brings you the features and versatility of an advanced digital pedal—but with the vibrant, characterful sound that’s only possible with authentic analog BBD circuitry.

FEATURES

• The ultimate analog delay pedal realized with advanced BOSS technology
• Fully analog BBD audio circuitry shaped by precision digital CPU control
• Warm, saturated, and highly musical tone
• Twelve modes deliver a wide range of mono and stereo delay textures, created using up to eight internal BBDs
• Stereo output with flexible signal routing options
• Adjustable modulation rate and depth with dedicated knobs
• Variation knob for controlling multiple parameters that are unique to each mode
• Selectable carryover for maintaining delay trails when the effect is bypassed
• MIDI I/O on mini TRS connectors
• Tap tempo function and tap division switch for creating rhythmic delays
• Four onboard memories plus the current panel settings
• 127 user memories accessible via MIDI program change
• Expandable control via external footswitches, an expression pedal, or MIDI
• Analog Delay for the 21st Century
• Analog delays based around BBD (bucket-brigade device) microchips emerged in the 1970s as a compact and cost-effective alternative to the standard tape delays of the era. Their warm, saturated, and highly musical sound established a distinctive style of delay that remains favored by many musicians and audio engineers. Leveraging modern CPU control, the DM-101 supercharges this classic effect with enhanced capabilities for today’s music makers.
