Thank you for explaining it correctly. The older pieces of gear had to a ton of LPF to keep the primitive tech from sounding bad. Guitarists today think those chips were magical or had 'analog warmth' because because the engineers at the time designed _around_ their shortcomings. The same is true of the Boss CE-2, TR-2, BF-2 etc; the magic to the sound is layer upon layer of filtering.

And to say that this pedal and the DM-2W sound so close to tape delay it a slight bit hard to tell the difference except for the pitch qualities. My favorites along with the DD-3 and SDE-3000.

I gravitate towards the "Deluxe Mind Guy" (Memory Man) and "BBD" (DM-2) style delays in the Axe-Fx, so if I had to choose a stand alone pedal to do that I'd probably go with a Boss DD-20 or a Memory Man with Tap Tempo.

Oh boy... With gear available at the time? It would have to be a W/D/W setup with 3 cabs and some kind of Boogie for pristine cleans and smooth leads (Mark IIC+ or Studio Pre) and an ADA MP-1 for the hot rodded Marshall rhythms. With current gear the Axe-Fx III more than covers everything I'd ever need.
