Roland Expands Boss Effects Plugins with Three New Historic Pedals

Roland has added a further three pedals to its Boss Effects Pedals plugin – the software library available exclusively through the Roland Cloud. Roland had slowly been releasing more digital versions of Boss’ range of treasured pedals over 2025, with eight arriving back in May last year. The library is now home to a total of 19 of the most well-loved Boss pedals, including the latest three additions – the DM-2, the OD-2, and the DC-2.

And this isn’t the end of it, as Roland has confirmed that this core library will continue to be populated with an ever-expanding selection of models derived from historic Boss hardware. This trio of new additions brings longtime favourites to the range – the DM-2 was the first Boss analogue delay in the compact pedal lineup, and its retro BBD circuit produces delays that become more saturated with each repeat. The OD-2 TURBO OverDrive is now onboard, offering two distinctly different overdrive sounds. Its standard mode produces a mild, well-defined overdrive, but switching on Turbo mode will crank things up by activating an independent drive circuit with higher gain and increased presence for heavy riffs and solos. Completing the flurry of new arrivals is the DC-2 Dimension C pedal, which according to Roland itself, was born by adapting the rack-based Roland SDD-320 Dimension D into a condensed pedal for guitars and other mono instruments. It’s capable of adding depth and spaciousness like a chorus pedal, but its Dimension effect produces minimal modulation to create 3D character while preserving natural tone.
