I’ve had my SMMH for a year or so and I love it!  I had first bought a Boss DD-7 but it didn’t quite impress me as much as I thought it would have. I later upgraded to the Memory Man.  I tried the Ibanez digital delay and the Line 6 DL4 but the Memory Man was the clear winner for me.

I find that since the pedal won’t self-oscillate I’m able to make an ongoing wash of ambient noise by lowering the blend, turning up the reverb (on echo modes) and filtering the repeats.  It really fills up a lot of space.  I’ve got it to sound synth-pad like.

Also love the Abrupt stops to the multi-taps which make for some interesting rhythmic noises.  Much like Hunting for Witches by Bloc Party.

The 1 Sec+Rev mode is great for reverse chord swells or similar effects.  And the reverse echo mode sounds great.  So much better than the DD-7 reverse mode.  The SMMH one is actually useable.

This pedal seems to beat all the other delay pedal’s loop function by miles.  The DD-7 has 40 secs but as soon as you turn it off, it’s gone and most of the other pedals only have 16ish seconds.  The SMMH has 30 and any mode can trigger a loop.  Again, the filtering and reverse play are great, and being able to slow down or speed up the loop with a knob is really cool.

The last thing I absolutely love about this pedal is all the ‘hidden’ features.  Like turning the blend all the way up and the delay time all the way down on the mod mode will give you an interesting flanger sound.  Or the ability to record a 60 second loop by recording 30 seconds of blank time then slowing it down to half-time.

There are only 3 things I really wish the SMMH had, that most of it’s direct competition does, and does well:
-A trails switch
-Have the preset button switch on/switch off of the preset, like the Cathedral does
-Make the swooshing noises the DD-7, DL4, etc. does when you turn the delay time.

Have y’all had a chance to use it in a “stereo set-up” yet?  What do you think?

I’ve got a couple true stereo amps (Gibson GA30RVS and a Fender Ultimate Chorus) that I’ve yet to run a stereo effect through.  I’m considering the SMM and the Cathedral.

I also was curious, has anyone gone from a Deluxe MM to the SMM?  Is there any notable differences in quality.  I don’t think I would want to go without my DMM, but if the Stereo is all that, then some… seems like a good upgrade.  Are you sure the quality is the same as the DMM?

i recently tried it in stereo into Laney Cub10 and Laney VC30. It sounded really spacial especially the reverbed delays

and the Cathedral in stereo sounds awesome! just do it!

I just tried the SMMH in stereo for the first time.  I had it plugged into two Behringer Ultra G DI boxes into my PA and it sounded pretty amazing. I then tried running two lines in parallel. I split one output from my QTron going straight to one DI and the second into the SMMH (in mono) followed by a volume pedal and into the other DI. I’m unsure which way will be my regular way but I’m leaning toward the parallel signal. I really like sneakily fading in loops that were made under cover of darkness.  I also put one of those option knobs on the “repeats” of the Haz. It’s like a little expression pedal and is very useful to me.

Does anyone else have a slight volume drop + bit less tone when this pedal is put in the pedal chain (even with the correct power supply) AND (if so) could this be fixed with a pedal power 2 plus whatever?
Other than that this pedal slaps cheek!
