Boss DC-2...

Re: Boss DC-2...

Only reason to own one of those lame6 boxes! That and the Leslie sim... rest of the sounds in the MM4 are bunk.
While its not a DC2, I think one of the most obvious uses (overuses?) of the roland Dimension effect is Peter Gabriels 'Shock the Monkey' where it's ALL OVER his vocals. That's the original rackmount Dimension D at work...
Certainly more of a 'shimmer' then a thick, traditional chorus or a TC electronics chorus.
On the flip side, the only difference between chorus and flange is several milliseconds.
I have a DC3 and it comes out from time to time... not quite the same but has the right flavor. Usually I'm putting vocals through it... hahaha

Hmm...vocals you say???

Re: Boss DC-2...

I used to hve an MM4 and it did a decent DC2 impression on the "Dimensional Chorus" setting but it doesn't touch the real thing. Boss' own CE20 also has a DC2 imitation setting that is a bit better.

The MM4 was a cool pedal to have and really versatile but the tone passage wasn't that good. It was OK at best. Rob Keeley makes a mod for the MM4 to fix that problem so if I ever have one again I might try it.

The Hardwire chorus has a good spacial setting, so does the PAC-9 from Maxon.
