regarding the low cut feedback. when you turn up the low cut, you are decreasing the overall signal getting fed back. you can adjust for this by turning the blend up a little, and turning up the gain a bit.

hey Diego,

regarding the gating noise, most analog delays feature some kind of circuitry to minimize noise. the DXMB has similar circuitry. however the effect is most prominent on the first note you play after a long silence, so your 2nd and 3rd notes etc… should not sound as gated as the first.

i’ve heard of some people putting eq’s in the feedback loop to tailor the wet sound a little more, might be worth a try.

Okay, so I got a DMB after seeing the new DMMTT and, like so many, thinking how similar they seem in features.

I’ve been using a carbon copy for about a year, and I have to say that i like the DMB “just okay”.

the tap tempo is kind of funny…i find that my timing isn’t exactly perfect, so i hear a lot of pitch goofing as i set the tempo while the effect is on. that’s okay; i kind of imagine that’s how any tap-tempo delay would react.

BUT

I have one major issue.

if you set it to a long delay, or lots of feedback, and you switch the pedal off while it’s repeating, it stops dead. okay, nothing unexpected there. but if you turn the pedal back on, IT’S STILL REPEATING!

that doesn’t seem very functional to me. especially if you botch the part you’re playing, and it repeats an awful atonal note or slur for a really long time…there is no way to KILL the repeats, and then quickly turn the pedal back on to try again – because when you turn it back on, it’s still going. you just have to wait for it to dwindle down to nothing.

maybe mine is just messed up…but that seems like a real anti-feature

i guess that seems like a taking the long way home, plus it doesn’t really accomplish the task.

i hate to say it, but my carbon copy is staying put because it just works better.

So this is just how it works?

bummer.

i don’t want to have to dance to make the effect do what my carbon copy does with a simple click.

the added control of every parameter, effects loop, expression pedal, tap tempo, tap divide, modulation control…. all of that is just not enough to make up for this issue. i guess simpler is better. plus the mxr pedal will run off a one-spot without heinous noise.

i’ll keep the DMB on hand to see if maybe i can use it for something, but sadly, it’s probably going to end up on eBay.

Thx Cryabetes, the volumn pedal in the FX loop will do the same as an expression set to feedback. I do this so I have control over both feedback (volumn in FX loop) and mod rate (expression).

The DMB replaced my Boss DD-20, Boss DD-3, and Boss SDE-300, cause it can do it all, and doesn’t have that ‘Boss’ sound. But you are right, total control isn’t for everyone. My day job is Sound Tech at a professional production company, so I spend all my time tweaking knobs and throwing faders. I like total control:)
