Members denimboy Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 I own a Boss DD-6 and I want to upgrade to an EHX Deluxe Memory Man. What are your opinions about these? Is the DMM worth it? I know I won't have the tap tempo function but I get messed up with it anyway. thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cloudscapes Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 it's much shorter delay times, but you get much nicer sound/color and oscillation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Electric Catfish Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 They're not the same kind of thing at all, really. That being said, you probably wouldn't be disappointed with a DMM unless you needed longer delay times. Keep the Boss though...it's good to have both analog and digital options handy, imo.

Members johnrambo Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 they'd be a good match for each other. you may want to keep the dd-6 and save up for the dmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a lot of forumites around here, I also have both a DMM and a Boss delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members comfortablynumb Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 Having a DMM and separate digital delay is a killer combination that can unlock tons of different sounds. I keep both my DMM and a DE7 on board. Wouldn't be without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bojo Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 i'd say too keep the dd6 and get a dmm. you get cool delay by having a shorter delay set on a dmm going into a longer delay into a dd6. the dmm is really a cool unit, the more i play with mine the more i find it interesting. the modulations are so cool.

Members butterknucket Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 What about it? I was ready to buy a DMN when I was advised to seriously check out the DE-7 instead. I'm glad I did. The DE-7 fills all my analog needs at a fraction of the price. It's really worth checking out. I don't even bother with the digital side.

Members Electric Catfish Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 I was ready to buy a DMN when I was advised to seriously check out the DE-7 instead. I'm glad I did. The DE-7 fills all my analog needs at a fraction of the price. It's really worth checking out. I don't even bother with the digital side. Both "sides" of the DE-7 are digital. One's analog simulation. I've thought about checking one of those out myself, though. The DMM's modulation is a big part of the sound, to me, so I wouldn't sub one for the other. How similar are they to a Dan-echo? Both are digital imitations of an analog thing, but I've not tried the DE-7. They get a lot of press here, though, so I figure it's worth looking into. I already have a Dan-echo, but I use the DMM all the time, and rarely hook the Dan-echo up, though I keep it around for the longer delay times it's capable of. I need to just get a good digital delay and have my bases covered, I guess. Digital anything is pretty low priority for me, though. What are some advantages of digital, beyond the longer delay times (and "clarity", I guess?)? Tap tempo could be o.k., I guess, but I'm pretty good with my toe on the delay knob on the DMM at getting it in time on the fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bennintexas Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 i have both dd6 and dmm, imo i need both lol. i mean, the dd6 does great things the dmm cannot, and obviously vice versa. i also have a dl4. all very differant.

Members Funky Chowder Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 While the DE-7 sounds pretty amazing, does self-oscillation and has solid "analog" and digital voiced delays, it's not a complete replacement for something like the DMM, as Electric Catfish pointed out (the modulation is half the pedal for me). That said, the DE-7 has friendlier power requirements, is much smaller, and has up to 2.5 seconds of analog-sounding delay, if you need it. So, somewhat different beasts. Choose accordingly.

Members CHOUTMUSIC Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 The delay on my dmm is only about 370ms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzzrocks90 Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 DMM delay times vary, by a significant amount, between each unit. Personally i love the tone of DMM, absolutely killer. Much nicer overall than a dd6. I also worked how to do reverses, of sorts, on a DMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gold_soundz Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 Its also worth bearing in mind that if your guitar has humbuckers they will almost certainly cause the memory man to distort, not in a good way. The DMM is best suited to single coils or possibly low output humbuckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sdresdre Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 i dont get why people buy dd-6's a dd-20 is like 20 bucks more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Old Fart Rocker Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 Love the DMM!! Sound quality is awesome. As close to a tape delay as you can get. I don't notice a problem with humbuckers. Maybe mine are lower output, but I do have a pretty good amount of crunch going with the ds1. I think it sounds great.

Members denimboy Posted September 12, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 I use a Fender Telecaster Custom '72 so I may play with single or humbucker. I'm considering keeping my DD-6. It has some advantages and can be very useful. The DMM is very expensive but I'm not afraid it's worth the price. Thanks for you advices. I didn't know the DMM has only 300 - 500ms of delay time . I don't use huge delay times but still Its useful sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members justintee Posted September 12, 2007 Members Share Posted September 12, 2007 got my DMM yesterday in the mail.. haven't used it with my whole board yet (which sports a dd-6).. but i think they will go well together... i use a hot set-up SG, but i didn't notice too much clipping at moderate volumes with the DMM... i got my DMM modded to attain the stock ~550ms... beaut toy imho.
