Boss DM-3 Delay Pedal MIJ 1980s - Used

Authentic Analog Warmth, Vintage Japanese Craftsmanship

The BOSS DM-3 Delay captures the unmistakable warmth of classic analog delay. Built in Japan during the 1980s, this sought-after pedal is prized for its lush, organic repeats that add depth and dimension to any performance. Loved by players and collectors alike, it delivers that unmistakable vintage BOSS tone with timeless reliability.

Pure Analog Delay Character

Powered by a genuine analog bucket-brigade circuit, the DM-3 produces rich, musical echoes that blend seamlessly with your dry signal. Its repeats decay naturally, giving your tone a smooth, tape-like warmth that’s impossible to replicate with digital effects.

Simple, Musical Control

Three intuitive knobs—Repeat Rate, Echo, and Intensity—let you sculpt your delay with ease. Whether you’re adding a subtle slap-back for rockabilly rhythm or dreamy ambient trails, the DM-3 responds beautifully to your playing dynamics.

Vintage Japanese Design

Hand-crafted in Japan and built to last, the DM-3 features the signature red BOSS chassis and road-ready durability that made these early models legendary. This used unit shows the authentic patina of decades of play, yet remains fully functional and ready for stage or studio use.
