I like the way the controls are laid out better on the new DMM more than the old one. The chorus/vibrato knob is supposed to be less prone to breaking (eventually) than the old switch, and I believe its sturdier.

I need the level knob on the DMM for extra control with a loop station. If I just needed a delay by itself or in a chain of effects I don’t know if I’d need more than the Memory Boy, but I’d have to try them side by side to be sure. Then again, I don’t have a single issue with the Memory Man and I plan on relying on it a lot in tandem with a Big Muff and the looper. It’s been nothing but beautiful to work with.
