It doesn't sound all that much like a DMM.
The DMM is a lot darker and murky, which can be a good thing depending on your tastes.
IMO The ML sounds like itself, an analog delay with a sound of it's own (not dramatically so, but enough to have a character).
It's the features that make it attractive and if you don't need them I wouldn't bother.
Personally, I think tap-tempo alone makes it.

I've owned a Memory Lane in the past and now have a DMM. I'd agree with the earlier comment about the DMM being "murkier". The tone control on the ML definitely makes a big difference. You can choose between vibe and chorus on the DMM which you can't on the ML, though.

 

Overall, I'd say that the Memory Lane sounds "prettier" and the DMM is better for more ambient stuff. I used to use the ML as my go-to delay for spicing up clean stuff, but right now I use the DMM more for creating these big clouds of noise.

does the memory lane come stock with an effects loop?

because according to this it dosent. unless i read over it and missed it.

 

 

I believe so, according to the official Diamond site ( http://www.diamondpedals.com/products/memorylane.html ):

 

- ability to use standard 1/4" stereo to two 1/4"

mono insert cable in expression pedal input to insert

an effect or chain of effects into the feedback loop

(can also be used to insert a standard volume pedal

as feedback control)
