For the price overall, it's a great sounding delay with a ton of cool features. The FX loop was one of my favorite things to mess around with on the DMB, sounds awesome with a fuzz especially.

I think that you may be overstating this a bit ... granted, it's tough to depend on youtube vidz, but the direct head-to-head comparison vids I've seen, they sound close enough that it's not huge. I currently own a DMB, and it's been a couple years since I've played a DMM. But there's not a terribly huge difference in the sound quality that I noticed.

I don't know what difference there is between the DMB and the MB (if any), but I can definitely hear the difference between the two in those videos. It's more pronounced in person. The DMM is warmer and the modulation is lush (gotta use those cliche gear tone catch-words), and the repeats on MB have a little more high end on the repeats, but not clarity like a digital delay, still has an analog feel. He's also spot on with the modulation of the MB. There is a wider range, but it gets a little too crazy for my test. The MB always felt like a delay that midfi would make if they were to make a bit more "normal" sounding delay with how wacky that modulation can get.

But again, no experience with the DMB. That's one I always wanted to try, but never had the chance.

I'll agree with you that the repeats on the DMB are a bit brighter than the DMM. I just don't think that it's such a big difference that I would say they are nothing alike or call either one rubbish in comparison with the other, regardless of which you prefer.

i also really like the digidelay. great for its price, and i have a way of turning it into a bitchrush delay/looper.

I really, really love it. Now I do not need to look any further re: analog delays.

Been offered a trade straight up for the Muff.

How does one achieve this bitcrushing delay of which you speak? My Digidelay has been pretty neglected since I got my 616.

DD5 is one of my babies. It's a little longer delay than the DD3 and not as feature packed as the DD7. It is a simple delay and I love the 2 second sample/hold where I keep it by default and the reverse mode. The reverse does not allow you to go full wet (meaning it always has the original guitar sound mixed in) but that's what I like about it. In that mode you can do awesome pitchshifting warps while still playing cleanly through it. And Analog Man has some cool mods like a dry killswitch to fix that if you wish.

I don't know which Muff you're thinking of trading, I wouldn't trade a hard to get vintage muff but if it's a currently available model, I'd flip it for the DD5 in a hot minute.

DD-20 was definately cool, but it seemed a little bland to me... few boss pedals aren't like that, it just seemed like a... too many features and different sounds in one unit

BUT i owned it long time ago and i'd actually love to try it again

i've always thought that i KNOW about my delay preferences... as the time passes by, i'm not sure any more but i totally love Wampler Faux Tape Echo i hope someone will trade my pedals at B/S/T for Boss RE-20, that could be a cool comparison...
