Main Features
● The DN-2 is an overdrive that changes the tone in response to the force of picking and the
volume control on the guitar.
● Transforms the sound into one where reverberating strings retain their sharpness even if
the guitar's volume is turned down.
● By simply turning the DRIVE knob, you get broad-ranging control over the depth of distor-
tion. Whether it be a crunch sound, overdrive with strong attack, or long sustain with a
boosted midrange, it's right at your fingertips.

1. AC Adaptor Jack
This jack accepts the connection of an AC
adaptor (optionally available BOSS PSA-se-
ries). By using an AC adaptor, you can play
without being concerned about how much
battery power you have left.
* Use only the specified AC adaptor (PSA-
series), and make sure the line voltage at the
installation matches the input voltage specified
on the AC adaptor's body. Other AC adaptors
may use a different polarity, or be designed for
a different voltage, so their use could result in
damage, malfunction, or electric shock.
* If the AC adaptor is connected while power is
on, the power supply is drawn from the AC
adaptor.
* If there is a battery in the unit while an AC
adaptor is being used, the DN-2 will switch
over to battery-powered operation should the

blackout or power cord disconnection.
2. CHECK Indicator
This indicator shows whether the effect is on
or off, and also doubles as the battery check
indicator. The indicator lights when the ef-
fect is on.
* If you're powering the unit with a battery
and the CHECK indicator goes dim—or
doesn't light at all—when you try to turn the
effect on, the battery is near depletion and
should be replaced. For instructions on
changing the battery, refer to “Changing the
Battery” (p. 11).
* The CHECK indicator shows whether the
effect is being applied or not. It does not
indicate whether the power to the device
is on or not.
3. OUTPUT Jack
Connect this jack to the input of a guitar amp
or another effects processor.
4. Pedal Switch
This switch turns the effect on/off.
5. Thumbscrew
When this screw is loosened, the pedal will
open, allowing you to change the battery.
* For instructions on changing the battery,
refer to “Changing the Battery” (p. 11).
