JB, I think that the dc-2 is just a chorus.  On the site you noted, they run bells, synths, etc through it.  Dry first (no effect), then the various modes of the dc-2 on the same instrument.

boss dimension c (dc-2)

dx7 bells, no effect
dx7 bells, mode 1
dx7 bells, mode 2
dx7 bells, mode 3
dx7 bells, mode 4
prodigy saw, no effect
prodigy saw, mode 4
matrix-1000, no effect
matrix-1000, mode 1
matrix-1000, mode 2
matrix-1000, mode 3
matrix-1000, mode 4
clean electric guitar, no effect
clean electric guitar, mode 1
clean electric guitar, mode 4

I have the schematic for the Dimension D (19" version) online:

there is also the DC-2 online somwhere.

It is quite complicated (2 BBD Delaylines ).
There is quite a difference to a normal chorus.

EH Microsynth.  But believe me, if you think the DC-2 schem is insane, don't even bother looking up the Microsynth. :)
