The reviews on the first wave of this series have not been enthusiastic, but I guess if you're looking for a sketching tool, rather than a permanent solution, 'renting' a flawed pedal for $50 isn't so bad. What disappoints me is that Uli Behringer has quickly gone to work on devaluing the TC brand with entry-level clones (not that TC was high-end before). On the + side, I had no idea that you could select all 4 modes simultaneously on the Boss DC-2, having never owned one.
TC's 3rd Dimension is obviously based around this long-discontinued pedal, with a $300 asking price on the used market. The original Dimension C pedal was based on the Roland Dimension D rack unit. Behringer has previously visited this circuit, in the form of its Space-C pedal. So perhaps this promises some marginal improvement, including a metal enclosure.
I almost got very excited but I only see a mono output on the 3rd Dimension, which completely misses the greatest part about the Dimension C, which is its wide, interesting stereo image.
You can't select all four modes on the original DC-2 but the Behringer version (and some digital emulations in multieffects units) can.
Guess I'll still have to pray for a DC-2w and hope it's not $200, which it will be.
