Had a DC-3 since the mid-90s. Got it for like $35. Love that thing.

There are only 2 delay lines in parallel, with a single modulation control for both (LFO). What happens is that there is also dynamics control (pre-delay compressor and post-expander, so you can´t saturate the delay chip (BBD) , as happens in other chorus) The 2 delay lines runs in parallel, then each output (L-R) adds a small amount of filtered (eq) feedbkack from the opposite output (which is out off phase, 180°), that's why it has that flanger-like vibes. It's much more complex than other choruses, it has several stages of emphasis and de-emphasis of certain frequencies, in addition to the dynamics control, all that processing is what preserves the clarity and sparkle of the signal.

I got a DC-3, with a box, back in the day (early 2000s) at a pawn shop for $80, never heard of it so I picked it up, I still love it. I just ordered a DC-2w last night, open box, can't wait to start playing through it!

Very informative ! Thanks for mentioning the flangy sound; I can hear it in the 1st and 2nd buttons of the DC-2w. For those out there looking for something chorus-ish, but don’t quite like the brittleness of one or if you like the detune type sound of the whammy pedal. If you like superb sound in a pedal box…if you don’t like fiddling with knobs and want something to just sound fantastic in any mode: This one will satisfy your heart content..

Thank you for this killer and informative video. I keep listening to the comparisons of the five pedals switching them around back to back and closing my eyes. It makes my head spin!! The DOD (which I have) was the least impressive to me, but the four Boss pedals are SO cool. I have an original DC-2 and just recently purchased a used DC-2 Waza and a mint DC-3 (in the box and instructions). I can't wait to compare them along with a Keeley 30ms pedal I've been using for several years too. The one thing I know is I'm going back to a stereo setup!!!

Interesting video! I have a DC-2 and have had it since the mid 90s. I don't use it so much as a chorus effect as I do to create a wider stereo image. I have a CE-2 in front of it for chorus, and that splits it into stereo wide. I would get the DC-2W just because of the stereo inputs, and place it between the stereo chorus, and delay pedal(s), in the effects chain. I've been using two amps for stereo effects since the 80s, but I like the addition of a dry amp in the center of the stereo to get more of the core guitar tone. It's a very rich and satisfying guitar tone.

Nice precision in your arpeggios on this video man; utilized the open strings nice and I could barely detect pitchiness at times but it was never too much, especially considering chorus is making that more apparent. I thought the digital dimension sounded good too - love the waza for obvious reasons

The DC-2 indeed only has 4 buttons, but it actually has 16 presets. Every combination of pushed and unpushed buttons is a different preset ;)

honestly if I were to get any boss chorus right now it'd be the dimencion C..... but not for clean guitar, I love how easily they are to set up for a real subtle tone. I remember that one of the pedals could use 2 presets at the same time.

I used the Boss CW-3 a bit differently. I ran one to two amps as per normal but with the rate turned off. This would give a "wide" effect when used on its own. Then, I would run another CE-3 into it which was setup for normal chorus. That was around 1985...

Excellent comparison and explanation! Here's a scenario: You're going to live for 6 months on a deserted island and you're allowed to bring 2 guitars, 3 amps and 1 dimension pedal; do you bring the DC-2w or the DC-3? And yes, the island has electricity (that's what's keeping your beers cold!).

1) i heard there is a 5th setting with none of the buttons pushed. i guess you can push two buttons at the same time and make it so neither is actually pushed down. i’ve never owned one so i’m not 100% on that. 2) there is, in fact, another pink pedal - the HF2 high frequency flanger. great video, man. i’ve always wanted to own at least one of these.

As someone who has owned the BOSS Chorus Ensemble CE-5 for over 15 year, I can't see much use for the Dimensions C. I understand that Dimension C is not just a chorus, but you can achieve a similar sound with Boss CE-5 and it has actual knobs to sculpt the effect just the way you want it. Dimension C has none of that.

I bought a DC2from a friend not long after they had been released. They were £110 new, an eye-watering amount of money at the time. With inflation, that would be £324 nearly double the present retail price. I only ever use preset one (in stereo) as I am not a fan of chorus and find too much to be a tad vomit inducing.
