T Rex Replica


Undoubtedly, the best of the modern digital ‘analogue’ pedals. Gilmour of the Floyd famously used one of these to replace his DMM when it failed close to a live gig. And, once again, you can see why.


Glorious in its sound options, the Replica sounds every bit like a ‘true’ analogue pedal, and is closest to the DMM in many ways. The Replica is actually a touch darker than the DMM in my comparison.


Of the whole bunch, it remains on of the easiest to use, and that tap tempo is gloriously effective AND vital live, imho. Couple it with a ‘brighter’ delay, such as the DD2 or the excellent (and much missed) Providence Chrono, and I think that you’d have a combination that would take some beating...


It has a brown switch to darken the tones, and even a master volume like button on the side. 


It’s a pedal that it very accurate to dial in, very versatile and it some ways, the overall winner of this bunch. It’s less random than the DMM, more uniform, more considered but these are advantages and positives. Expensive new, but a very good second hand bargain.

Subdecay Anamesis


Some of these will HAVE to be sold, but right now, I don’t know which ones !


Enter the Subdecay. In some ways, this is the closest to DMM in feel and sounds. It has that randomness that manner delays miss, whilst others are just too over the top. It’s almost a mini DMM this pedal. Fantastic ambient tones. 


Very natural, organic tones - lovely modulation control, all in a very small package !

  • The t Rex is ace, Mark Tremonti uses one iirc.

    You should try a Pink Maxon. I was also mighty impressed by a dod analogue delay I tried, which sadly broke :(
