Members emuhunter Posted July 28, 2009 Members Share Posted July 28, 2009 I'm sort of in the boondocks, about 2 hours from a GC or other really huge music store. I was in one of the local shops today to see about ordering a DMM for myself, I've played with one awhile ago and I can FINALLY afford my own... The shop owner basically refused to order it for me, because he says it'll "never sound as good in an effect chain as some of these really nice Boss effects" and then tried to steer my towards a DD-20 he had in stock. Not knocking Boss Delays, they're really great quality I'm sure but... It's not a Memory Man with all those uber sweet MM features!! Is there any truth to what he's saying? I'm not looking for teh brootalz or whatev. I play a Les Paul or SG Classic into an AC30 H2, sometimes through a few pedals (clean boost, OCD, MXR Dynacomp, Ibanez CS 505, and a Holy Grail). Just wanted some feedback on this, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Electric Catfish Posted July 28, 2009 Members Share Posted July 28, 2009 What was his rationale? That doesn't make any sense to me.I'm betting he makes more off the Boss pedals. Just a guess. Order it for yourself, and let him know he blew a sale, after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
