I guess it's a bit hard to explain. A sound sample would probably explain it better. Modezero got some that you can check out.

The geek speek for what it does is that it applies reverse phase modulation with a high and a low frequency clock together.
Nah, that didn't tell me how it sounds either

Use it in stereo. The best spatializing effect.. very three DIMENSIONal. Andy Summers from the Police used the rack dimension effect of which the DC-2 is a (clone or replica?).


Think chorus without all the pitch variations/detuning.

It definitely needs to be used in stereo to be fully appreciated. It is a subtle chorus with no heavy modulation, vibrato, or metallic chorus sound. Works well with clean or distorted tones. One of my favorite Boss pedals ever. I liked it so much I bought two of them!

The only difference functionally between the two is that the rack dimension effect could have more than 1 of the 4 push buttons pressed down at the same time for even more variations in the sound.
