BOSS DEBUTS NEW COMPACT PEDALS WITH MULTI-
DIMENSIONAL PROCESSING
Next-Generation Effects with Innovative New MDP Technology
Los Angeles, CA, January 21, 2013 — BOSS is pleased to announce three next-
generation compact pedals featuring innovative Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP).
Powered by this important new technology, the TE-2 Tera Echo, DA-2 Adaptive
Distortion, and MO-2 Multi Overtone pedals deliver an amazing range of dynamic and
expressive sonic textures, providing guitarists an exciting new set of tools to dramatically
expand their tonal range.
Superior Tone with Multi-Dimensional Processing
Roland's innovative Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP) analyzes audio signals in
many dimensions and applies ideal effects to each. By giving different dynamic changes
relative to the input signal in real time, MDP can create bold, all-new sounds with a
previously unattainable range of expression.
TE-2 Tera Echo
The TE-2 delivers amazing new ambience effects that go far beyond traditional reverb
and delay processing. MDP produces an incredibly deep and spacious sound,
dramatically enhancing the straight guitar tone without overwhelming it. With simple,
familiar stompbox controls and incredible dynamic sensitivity, an extremely wide range of
inspiring sounds can be achieved. In addition, the TE-2’s expressive Freeze function
allows players to hold the current effect sound for lead backing and unique sound
effects.
The 100th BOSS Compact Series Model
The TE-2 has the further distinction of representing the 100th model in the long history
of the BOSS compact series. Starting with the release of the OD-1 Overdrive in 1977,
BOSS’ legendary stompboxes have been integral tools of artistic expression for
millions of players around the world. Fueled by a spirit of dedication and innovation
that began nearly four decades ago, the TE-2 and the new MDP-powered pedals
carry on the BOSS legacy of bringing inspiring, leading-edge technologies to all
musicians.
DA-2 Adaptive Distortion
Unlike standard distortion pedals that process the entire guitar signal with a single effect,
the MDP-powered DA-2 adapts the sound in real time to create the ideal tone for every
register. The result is a rich, musical distortion that plays well all over the guitar neck,
from tight, edgy low-string tones to fat, smooth highs. With the power of MDP, the DA-2’s
