I think he means microchip.

The MN3005 chip used in the original DMM (5 knob) is no longer in production. It would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to put them back in production.

Are you sure it’s MN3005? I’d assume it’s the MN3008, which has 1/2 the delay time of the MN3005, which is why they’re now using 4 of them in the classic chassis DMM.

Yeah and I pretty much hate The Edge so i’m not playing his covers… nor have I ever seen a cover band play one of his songs out of many, many bands.

I don’t think this pedal has quite the appeal you make out to warrant a special run for one type of particular sound, however, I think there will be something out there that can do it but it will lead to a lot of experimenting, as the Edge himself does.

And EH Man… does this remind you of a Burst Box to some extent?

Oh and to answer your question about WHY we can’t just create 1 second delays at the drop of the hat (Even though they now have) the more stages you add to an analog delay (More stages equals more delay time) the more the signal is processed and begins to degrade in quality, you can fight it to some extent with filtering and gain but past about 1 second with analog chips is pretty pointless and digital will win, analog also becomes very expensive compared to digital, the old chips can run up to $50 each bought off the current market, I assume EHX payed somewhere around $10-20 each at a guess but still, there’s atleast $40 per unit in one particular part not including everything else so it begins to get expensive and when things get expensive, you cut out a part of the market and EHX has always been a company for your average guitarist who can’t afford boutique.

I also think it’s a bit closed minded to assume all digital is ‘crap’ I admit it, I love the old polaroid camera shots and stuff too, but you can get good digital cameras and the majority of photographers would not have moved on to them unless they were a useful tool for there craft. Simmilarly, I wouldn’t have an EHX Micro Pog if we’d stuck to Analog, it just has its limits, EHX still produce Analog effects though as they know the guitarist wants them and that sound but digital isn’t always bad and the products they produce suit most peoples purposes… as long as they don’t want to sound like the Edge.

a lot of cover bands don’t do U2 because Bono is a twat & he burned the Irish flag and Larry Mullen Jr can be replaced by an entry level drum machine. it’s just not fun for them to do compared to something better.

….you’re making two separate arguments here. and also, regarding the second argument, Citation needed.

It’s very apparent you’re not a tech, because you clearly have no understanding of what all goes into the creation of any of your guitar gizmos. also, it’s very apparent you’re not a marketing person, because they generally have some sense of charisma. and it is apparent you’re a bit of a **** to assume that all of us here are thinking the same thing because we’re all guitarists- if we were all on the same page, we’d all be clamouring for the U2 deluxe memory man sound and there’d be one genre of music – u bloody 2.
