neo clone is good, the nano clone is less than good. and the modulations on the DMB are going to be on the delay signal only, so you might want to pick up a chorus.

looks like it goes for slightly less than $120; if you wait a few months, you can probably find it used for cheaper. Also, you know the effects loop on the DMB? you can probably get some decent drones by putting a volume pedal in it and fading the delays out to get fewer feedbacks. To me, the freeze would be more like the sustain pedal on a piano- less useful for drones but better for long legato passages.

I use a morley lil alligator and a dod fx17 but really any active volume pedal should do the trick. I’d stay away from passives though, despite not taking up a plug on your daisy chain, they’re typically more trouble than they’re worth [treble loss, failure to mute, etc.]

The DMB does do a chorus effect if you set a low delay and a fairly generous modulation with the triangle LFO. It’s an interesting sound and if you’ve an expression pedal you can vary the modulation speed which gives you this nice, organy sound.

My complaint would be getting the delay time right is difficult as your talking microseconds.Which is why setting the delay to 0, 100% wet and using it as a vibrato unit is also a good option.
