In
the eighties when everything went digital BOSS produced the DD-2
Digital Delay which not only was the first digital pedal in the BOSS
compact line but also the first Digital Delay in a compact pedal
overall. Up until then every BOSS compact was analog. While the DD-2
Digital Delay was state of the art back then and the successors DD-3,
DD-5, DD-6 and DD-7 are quite popular many musicians swear by warmth of
the old analog pedals.
Furthermore all the famous blue Chorus pedals
(CE-2, CE-3, CE-5 and CH-1) in the BOSS pedal line were analog up until
autumn 2001 when BOSS changed the circuitry in the CH-1 and CE-5 to
digital.
In 1987 the MZ-2 Digital Metalizer hit the market with to
circuit boards - one being analog and one being digital. This
distortion was analog while the chorus and delay was digital. |
