    Well, I’m excited.

    I can’t stand Boss Chorus (or Flanger for that matter) but adore the Dimension. It will be great to buy a new one - having bought some tired classic Boss pedals over time that don’t quite sound right (component drift) when compared to a “golden” original, the chance of buying something that takes the lottery out of that appeals massively.

    Just as an aside, TPS has recently made a big thing about new boards for Mick and Dan - and one for ex-PGS Andy. On Dan’s board... a Boss DSD2 - time for a reissue? On the cards? Especially as the TPS guys were recently at Boss’s HQ...

    I regret selling my DSD-2. I might have to buy it back from my friend.

    Sessioner and Go West, Kate bush and Level 42 guitarist, the late, great Alan Murphy, used the rack version Dimension D, and that's also in the pedal at a flick of a switch.
    I've got some of these settings in my Zoom MS-70 CDR and they're less intrusive than a Chorus

    The Dimension D was the ‘secret sauce’ on the guitar sound on the first SRV albums and on his Bowie sessions. Steve Stevens on the Billy Idol hits as well. Although used for its stereo effect so not sure how effective that would be into a single guitar amp. 
    If you look up the DimensionC you always end up with Gary Moore, a staple part of his 80s rock tone.

    Am I the only Boss fan who doesn't really get the DC-2? It's nice and all that, but just a bit... meh. It sounds like studio chorus more than a guitar pedal.
    As someone that doesn't particularly rate the sound of Boss pedals I think you are one of the only people that doesn't get the DC-2. Its one of the few chorus(ish) pedals that dont sound like cheesy 80s wank
    The DC-2 is awesome
    It sounds fucking huge frankly

    Quite possibly.

    It's the only chorus I like.

    Ah... I understand now. It's a chorus for people who don't like chorus, and I do like chorus so I don't like it .

    (And I love the BF-2 as well .)

    You have bad ears :-p
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    Think that scruffy depress-nik Robert Smith is a BF2 user?

    I have one on order from Coda. I had an original one in the 80s that I stupidly sold and I've used the Dimension D in the studio many times. It'll be interesting to see how close the one I use in the FX8 and AX8 actually is to the real thing.
