3. Impostazione
3.1 Alimentazione
The DM-2W can be powered by a 9V battery or an optional 9V DC power adapter (PSA series recommended). Ensure the power supply is correctly connected before use.
- Installazione della batteria: To install or replace the 9V battery, loosen the metallic thumb screw on the pedal's front panel, lift the pedal cover, and connect the battery to the snap connector.
- Adattatore per corrente alternata: Connect a 9V DC power adapter to the DC IN jack. Using an AC adapter is recommended for extended use to prevent battery drain.
3.2 Connessioni
Connect your guitar and amplifier to the pedal using standard 1/4-inch instrument cables.
- Presa INGRESSO: Connect your guitar or the output of another effects pedal here.
- Uscita jack: Collega questo al tuo amplifier's input or the input of the next pedal in your chain.
- DIRECT OUT Jack: This output provides a dry signal (unaffected by the delay effect). It can be used for wet/dry rig setups, sending the dry signal to one amplifier and the delayed signal (from the OUTPUT jack) to another.
- RATE Jack: Connect an optional expression pedal or tap tempo switch to this jack to externally control the Repeat Rate parameter.

4.1 Controlli
- REPEAT RATE Knob: Adjusts the delay time. Turning the knob clockwise decreases the delay time, while turning it counter-clockwise increases it.
- Manopola ECO: Controls the volume of the delayed sound relative to your dry signal.
- Manopola INTENSITÀ: Determines the number of repeats (feedback) of the delay. Higher settings result in more repeats, potentially leading to self-oscillation at extreme settings.
4.2 Mode Switch (S/C)
This switch allows you to select between two distinct delay modes:
- S (Standard) Mode: Replicates the classic, warm analog delay tone and delay time range (20-300 ms) of the original BOSS DM-2 pedal.
- C (Custom) Mode: Offers a cleaner analog tone with an extended delay time range (up to 800 ms), providing greater versatility for various musical styles.
4.3 Coinvolgimento dell'effetto
Press the pedal's footswitch to toggle the delay effect on or off. The CHECK indicator LED will illuminate when the effect is active.
5. Manutenzione
- Pulizia: Per pulire il pedale, utilizzare un panno morbido e asciutto. Evitare detergenti abrasivi o solventi.
- Durata della batteria: If using a battery, disconnect cables from the INPUT jack when not in use to conserve battery life.
- Magazzinaggio: Conservare il pedale in un ambiente asciutto e fresco, lontano dalla luce solare diretta e da temperature estreme.
