ummmmmmmm
the DMM has been my main delay for years, a board staple. i've used the XO version for years... and I still want this. lol. sounds great, and I love the 9v operation and removing the "chorus/vibrato" switch and just going to a depth/rate makes a ton of sense. very intrigued.

I got an El Capistan, an Echo Dream 2, a Space Spiral, a DM-2w, and an old big box classic DMM from the 90s and I'm like 99% sure I have to have this anyway. EHX, shut up and take my money.

Oh, I'm probably on board, too. The first repeat sounds different than on the vintage ones (I've played), which is not necessarily a bad thing.
Funny that they didn't do a new nano vs. big box.
No foot control fun with the tiny knobs though.
Interesting to see pointy headstocks / Floyd rose / locking nuts creeping back.
Who had 1:48-1:51 slot in the U2 pool?

Sounds damn nice, but why the hell didn't they make it stereo????!

Oh wow that sounds very close-I still have the big box I bought new in the Aughts, so much of the magic of it comes down to subtleties you can't quite feel/hear over youtube...adding trails is incredibly awesome, have always wanted that on the big box memory man-going to be very interesting to compare the 2. Also psyched to have a small analog delay pedal that has vibrato on the repeats, don't know how pedal companies don't add vibrato to their analog delays, to me that is a big part of the DMM sound, very excited to see this retains that capability...

At least the Mojo Hand Dream Mender I just got was $50 less?

Interesting but a delay without a tap tempo is just a slapbacker to me.

unpopular opinion but i still think the best MM clone is the behringer vintage time machine. i like the darker repeats.

Among a myriad of other useful things! I keep trying to replace it with other delay pedals (DD500 is the latest... early indications are that it's way too complicated) but I just can't seem to quit it.

Seconded. And that's about all I used to use delay for until I acquired a DD7 in trade, "to see what all this
tap fuss is about". It didn't take long... tap has become essential to how I work with delay(s). My board currently has a DD7, DD8 and Malekko 616D (LOVE that delay!), so I'm pretty well set...
but even at that... I am curious to hear this new DMM.
