I've never seen such a thing, but I'd like to. It would be cool if there was something like kitrae's big muff page for the dmm.

I've been stalking this thread since it popped up...
And there's still nothing! I can't believe there's not like a documentary or some big article about it.

Give me a few days and PM me to remind me and I can probably come up with some decent starting info, like how originally they claimed like 14s of time or something stupid in the adverts and that it used one of there other circuits (the silencer) for noise reduction.

I used to have one of those. I think there were a couple versions that preceded it but I'm really not sure.

They really had a pretty short amount of usable delay time so in order to get some spacier echoes you have to crank it to a point where the repeats get extremely lofi. It's really cool but obviously not a go to echo sound.

It's really best for slapback, but dang the bypass is so stupid. There's a volume drop when the pedal is engaged so they put a boost on it. Except they boosted the bypass signal by the same amount as the effect signal so you still get a volume drop.

I traded it for a Maxon AD-9 Pro and didn't regret it. The Boss DM-2 would be a way superior replacement
