Didn't like Reel Echo. Dan Echo sounds very good, but it drops a little bass when engaged, and I didn't like that. SOme people must not notice it, but I do.

I also think the BLT is identical in great slap, never played the PB&J but I'm sure it's the same circuit. The Reel Echo is NOT the same circuit.

Clipped delays? Isn't that a little vintage? Like a broken down tape echo?

Try E-bay... I think you can sell anything there! But if it is lika a fart, I wouldn't be present when it comes to try it....

I believe I stick to my green Rocktron delay for a long time! But one day will that probably be a vintage model with a sound of a fart....

haha
i should

but i would feel too bad selling it to some 15yr old rockabilly kid who saved up to get the pedal.... Id rather smash it lol or use the casing lol

I've heard great things about the rocktron short timer. I just need something that doesnt fart, or doesnt fart when driven with the nocturne....

EHX's Memory Toy seems within my price range

Doc, Pick up a used Ibanez DE-7. They sell used around $25-$50. One of (if not) the best tape echo emulation pedals out there, you will not regret it.

If you ever get the chance, try an Ibanez EM-5 Echo Machine. This is a discontinued "potato bug" stomp that is just wonderful for slapback. I got mine for $35 new and would never part with it.

Well, a DD3 is good enough for Scotty Moore: http://scottymoore.net/peavey.html

You know I think Jimi Hendrix would be using a POD XT if he was still alive today, but
Just like the Edge of U2, he was more interesting back in the rattle n hum days.

roland space echo's are a big ass, high maintenance box that hisses,hums and doesnt always do what you ask it to do. I have one and I'll take a DD-3 over a space echo if I need to depend on my echo, "echo'ing" exactly the same every night on stage. Although as "Warm" as the Boss Digital Delay #3 is compared to say a DD-7..I'm shocked he doesnt use a DD-2!! the Warmest of the warm version of cold boss digital delays ever.
I would love to own a DD-2 again but it will have to arm wrestle is even warmer pink cousins the DM-3 twins. Veritable down filled parkas of echo with a minty winter breath of freshness.

Hey man, that little pinky/purple box put a stranglehold on my DL-4 and put a sonic foot in the can as it knocked the green giant off of the "board". Full on Intensity with a little sun records style slap echo is crazy cool

THIS DM-3 pedal. the compander and delay chips in this pedal are a super team in creating the perfect delay.

Where does that DD20 i sent you fit in. Myself i think i got the better end of that deal with the CS-550 but I use that as much as i did the DD-20 meaning not much.

Hopefully after all the Aqua Puss success...Boss will atleast look into getting the DM-2 another go.

If they do the DM-3 again, It may not be as great as these early 80's mojo laden echo boxes

Doc, I have only one and I would be keeping that one. But you will not have a hard time finding one on the used market. They can be had very cheap and if you don't like it just flip it and you'll get your money back. I seriously doubt you'll flip it.
