Beautiful pedal.

Amazing pedal. So many different ideas to run with. Anywhere from trance inducing loops to subtle and psychedelic delay and echo.

Sounds 1000x better with other EHX pedals (I suggest the 'Soul Preacher nano', as well. Just an amazing pedal that has no limits.

THE digital delay pedal.

This pedal is utterly fantastic. THE digital delay pedal to end all digital delay pedals.

What first brought me to this unit was the tap tempo function and the relatively long delay times (3 seconds). What made me fall in love with this pedal was the reverb, the reverse echo, and the flanging (yep, this pedal flanges! I'll get to that in a minute) The reverb is lush and blends masterfully with the delayed signal and is a great bonus for me, as a person who has always preferred digital reverb to spring reverb. The reverse echo is traditional EHX madness, allowing you to play backwards solos in real time. But what really got me is the ability to create some really unique flanger sounds by dialing in really short delay times and then adjusting the modulation, blend, filter, and repeats.

This pedal provides a huge amount of control in a relatively small set of parameters and simple controls that keeps this pedal easy and straightforward to use, but still capable of some really mind-bending settings if for the adventurous.

Oh, did I mention that it also loops?

Stellar delay for any instrument

When I first played around with the Stereo Memory Man with a guitar, I found myself a bit overwhelmed amidst all the settings available. To be honest, I wanted a simple delay pedal with a long loop recorder. After reading the manual I realized that this was quite the pedal. The variety of quality delays ranging from short 1sec to the ability to reverse phrases. Endless fun, and inspiration... Yet, what really blew me away was when I used it as an fx box for my laptop. Once again the quality and variety of delays made this tool a necessary part of my arsenal.

Only negative aspect is that to delete a recorded loop, you must click the right button, and hold down the left button. There is also no ability to erase overdubs. I also have an Akai Headrush which much more intuitive to use when recording loops, and provides both these functions.

Versatile pedal

I don't have alot of high end pedals but this is a great addition.

Good features, accessability, & tone.. but suffers from EH's problem

As a stand alone, digital delay, this is a great, and affordable pedal. It has 3 seconds of total delay; more than enough for what I use it for. I have several analog delays, and those are my first choice for delay, or any time based or modulation, but delay time is limited on those units. For this reason, I really appriciate the tone knob, which my dd-2 doesnt have. It allows you to roll off the highs, which in my opinion sounds best for overdrive/distortion. The adding of highs isn't used by me.
I also don't have any use for modulation in a delay unit, I use my chorus or flange pedals for that. I'd rather have those out, and the pedal to be smaller or maybe have other features, but many people do use it, so i understand its inclusion. The perfomance looper is handy, and quite usable, but it shouldnt be mistaken for a dedicated looper. It doesnt save your loops when you turn it off, but it's great for a player who's the lone guitar player. The reverse delay; I tend to find this as almost useless. It seems to be a feature that's in delays, and people will try it out because it's there, but for the most part it goes unused. If you're a player that leans a lot on delay, like say The Edge, you may like it. You can really use it for much more than some arpeggios. I do like the foot activated reverse on the multi-tap though. It allows you to add the reverse when you want it in there, without having it permanently in the signal. I also like the Hazari, its just a programming button.
The only real issue I have with this pedal, is the same issue I have with all the EH pedals Ive used; noise. I understand the older pedals, and their issues with noise, & stacking problems. They were designed mostly with keyboards in mind, so there's some impedence mismatches. I don't know why its still such a problem though. This is not as noisy as some other products,. But when you're playing with a good deal of amp overdrive, or distortion, there is clock noise, and a hiss that sounds like it's from the power.I wouldnt have such a problem with it if it only was there when the pedal was on, but its evident even in bypass mode, and to me this is an issue The noise can be mitigated, if not eliminated by either using a dedicated wall wart, or a multi point power source that has isolated outputs; but any daisy chain based power sources will have the noise problem. If you play clean, or moderate gain, you probably wont have any issues.
All and all though, for the money, it really cant be beat. Having true bypass is also a plus, as long as you dont have a lot of effects or long cable, or if you do and have at least one buffered bypassed pedal in your chain. A big plus i hear over the other major multi delay is that it doesnt mess with your dry signal. I had a dd-6 for about a week. I hated that the dry signal was processed along with the wet. This wasnt on the dd-2, 3, or 5, but was painfully obvious on the 6 and up.
