Does anything compete with a Deluxe Memory Man?

[porsch8]

Memory Lane?
Visual Sound H20?
QUicksilver?

I have the DMM and H20, they are not really that similar.

I replaced my DMMs with the Moog delay.

it was a quickie read, but comparing the DMM to the T.Rex Replica, the Replica just had more of "my" features available at my fingertips. The DMM could probably approximate them if I fiddled enough, but the DMM can also lead you to those lo-fi wack job territories pretty quickly, none of which I use. What the Replica does it does soooo well, and that's in my comfort zone.

nothing sounds like a dmm. To me its just one of "those" pedals that everybody needs to have in their arsenal... like a good germanium fuzz or an 808 style pedal.

porsch8 --

What aspect of a DMM do you consider to be its "signature"? In other words, on what basis would you judge this "competition"?

[Windup 43]

It's the only analog delay I've ever owned, but hard to believe anything else could sound quite as beautiful as the DMM...

[hw2nw]

NOTHING sounds like a DMM other than a DMM.

Moogs Delay is pretty hard to beat. The 1 Second+ delay, loop, gain controls, voltage pedal controls- I upgraded to the moog from a keeley AD9/DD20 combo, though I still use the DD20 for its modulation delay the moog trumps allot of delays out there.

I actually a/b compared it to quite a few delay pedals..
Aqua puss, Dm2, Fulltone tape, AD9, DD3-6,20, Nova delay
DMM,Memoryman standard & my trusty ol' ibanez DM10.

the moog with PROPER tweaking can easily acomplish any of the tones of the Aqua puss, dm2, fulltone, ad9, DMM,MM, DM10, DD3-6.

The nova delay & dd20 are tonally not as great as the moog BUT feature wise have more capability and are both stereo in/out.

Moogs delay has a crisp analog warmth thats very hard to beat

The Boss RE-20 Space Echo is equally as awesome as the DMM. I own both. The RE-20 is a slightly different vibe, a bit more clarity, but they're not too far from each other.

[mike@nortoncable.com]

I'm waiting to get one of those- I have it on order - DANM YOU ROLAND BACK ORDER!. anyways. The DD20 is the Pinnacle of boss/digital delay for me, so I would have to bet that the RE20 is a fantastic representation of the original space echo

[giggedy]

I ALWAYS tap the tempo when using delay. How do you guys set your delay time on analog delays like dmm?

[BillyK]

My Howard Davis-modded DMM was replaced by an EchoTap. Warm repeats, long delay times, tap tempo, 2 presets, no noise and no headroom issues.

I love it.

I replaced my DMM with a Memory Lane. No regrets. The caveat being that I don't use much in the way of modulation or feedback.

[sense_of_henry]

No. Nothing.
