Overview

The Boss SP-202 Dr. Sample is a legendary compact sampler released in 1998. Known for its warm, gritty sound and intuitive workflow, it became a favorite among lo-fi producers, hip-hop beatmakers, and vintage gear collectors.

With four sampling modes (Hi-Fi, Standard, Lo-Fi 1, Lo-Fi 2), six built-in effects, and SmartMedia card support, the SP-202 delivers an unmistakably nostalgic sonic character that modern samplers can’t replicate.

Its simplicity and portability make it a perfect choice for live performance, sound design, or collectible studio setups.
