feedback to zero and delay time all the way down. I take it on the MB delay time didn’t get short enough?

Just got mine yesterday, stay tuned for updates!

I’m thiiiiiis close –

Super curious about that FX loop, are subsequent delays each more effected than the last? i.e. do effects put into the loop build on each other as each delay is passed? It doesn’t seem this way in the 2 demos I can find. Kindly let me/us know when you get yours, if ya could.

An example of what I’m talking ’bout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaWKlLT2kxU&feature=related

Usually that’s not how FX loops are wired unfortunately.

Ok, so i got mine on friday and startd messing around with it saturday. my first impression is that it does not sound quite as good as the regular memory boy, to be honest, but there are a lot more options to tailor your sound (it has a really nice low cut mode to brighten the delays). I feel like it is much more subtle than the standard memory boy, so it is much harder to get those rhythmic delay groove going than on a digital, or even other analogs. This is what I have observed so far, but I need to mess around with it more and do an A-B comparison of the DXMB and the MB, which will probably be tonight.

The FX loop is pretty cool. I put a dynamic filter in there and it is pretty cool, but it is easy to get some oscillation if you set the feedback past noon with this set-up. I also have tried some pitch shifters in there, which produces an effect pretty much like some of the modes on a Boss PS-3, so it is pretty cool.

Overall I think I may be more into digitals after all. I really dig the SMMH, and if that pedal had the tap divide option, expression control, and FX loop, it would be THE BEST delay out there, period.

Stay tuned for more info!

Alright, I figured out what was bothering me about the DXMB…I was using the power supply on my pedal board, which in theory was fine, since according to the manual the DXMB draws 100ma. The outputs on my board are maximum 100ma, so the DXMB must draw a bit more than that, or the power supply must not be putting out the full amount, which seemed to hamper the tone. Now that I am using the supplied adapter, it seems to have plenty of “head room” or whatever it needs, and sounds just like the regular memory boy. I really dig this pedal!

It shouldn’t require much more than 100mA, since that is what the manual states as the current draw. What other pedals are you using? I initially was upset too, because I was using all 3 of the normal “wall type” outlets on my skb ps-45, but I was able to take the boss psa-120 that was powering a TU-2 (which was powering a couple pedals) out and make use of the 100mA outputs on the board for the other pedals. The only downfall to my solution is that now all of my power outputs are in use (all of the wall type ones and the 100mA mini-plug style ones), which means no more FX on board…which i guess is OK since the board is pretty much overflowing as it is. I still think I like the SMMH a little more, but this one is definitely going to be an integral part of my rig.

the FX loop on there is great, btw. I highly suggest trying a dynamic filter in there, it is pretty sweet! A flanger is also real cool in the loop. I am excited to try my boss PS-3 in there!

Anyone else get there’s yet/have any tips or suggestions for the FX loop?
