Tell you what really grinds my gears is when people say "my Big Box Deluxe Memory Man sounds [insert cliche here]".
As someone who's owned both big box and XO and read countless articles including Analog Man's take on the matter, I can't help but agree with him when he says that there's little difference between the two...I'd go as far as to say there's no difference and that's what he alludes to.
Just winds me up when the phrase "I love my Deluxe Memory Man" has to include the words "Big Box" to somewhat add some weight and kudos to the argument or the owner.
Just my opinion, of course, but I've personally no regrets about letting go of my Big Box DMM and recently buying an XO.
PS...don't tell anyone this, but the new XVive MN3005 chips are pretty good too! God for-fucking-bid.
Rant over, sorry chaps. Shouldn't wander over to TGP when I'm in these moods.

You've got the right idea, just playing guitar, you know!

I know a couple of guys who have had the same amps and pedalboard for more than 10 years.
They transcribe daily though.
I can see no rational argument to own 10 overdrives and only know how to play 2 songs.

If it sounds good and it works for you, all f***ing good.
I can't help but disagree with Analogman purely he got all snotty with me at HCFX for saying that the King of Tone was shit compared to the original BB Mk 1
If you have no regrets, fair enough. The DMM isn't my favourite delay but I can say that I've owned 14 different big box DMMs, each one was different, there were some average ones and a couple that sounded on a different level. Where the big boxers do it for me is that the modulation sounds better than the XO. Straight up delay, there's little in it.
