Cool that you got the DD-8 to check out. Hopefully it’s what you’re looking for, at least to replace the DD-3, maybe both.
I had a DD-3 and a DD-20 for many years, and sold them both. Don’t miss them.
I use 2 Meris Polymoons and a Catalinbread Belle Epoch Deluxe, all in different boards. The BED does the EP-3 wonderfully, and also has other options.
One is the DMM. I’ve never had a DMM, so I can’t say how close the BED is to it, but Catalinbread makes very nice pedals that are pretty dead on, so I’d venture to say it should be really good if they included it as an alternate option in the pedal. Plus I think it still benefits from the actual EP-3 preamp in the pedal. And it’s solid as a rock. Expensive, but worth it.
Just another option to think about, in case the DD-8 doesn’t so it for you. With that you could have an EP-3 and a DMM at your feet, plus a few other delay choices like analog, modded and whatever the other options are, and just use your old DMM safely at home.
