Roland DM-101

The BOSS DM-101 Delay Machine redefines analog delay by combining the classic warmth of BBD (Bucket-Brigade Device) circuitry with cutting-edge CPU control. Featuring eight BBD chips and 12 unique delay modes, the DM-101 delivers everything from vintage echoes to modern stereo delay textures-all with 100% analog signal processing. Its versatile design supports stereo operation, while adjustable modulation rate and depth provide rich, immersive soundscapes.

The DM-101 is equipped with tap tempo, carryover, and 127 user memories, accessible via MIDI I/O for complete creative control. The Variation knob unlocks unique parameters in each mode, offering limitless sound-shaping possibilities. With four onboard memories, external footswitch support, and flexible routing options, the DM-101 is the most powerful analog delay pedal ever created by BOSS.
