here's what diamond says -
"The teaser pic I posted is the first prototype of something new that we've got in the works. The feature set isn't even nailed down 100%- it may or may not have dotted 8ths. What it will *likely* have- footswitchable modulation (which is sounding AMAZING btw), true bypass, tap tempo and long delay times. There are a few other things that we're still working on. Obviously we've been concerned about the availability of the NOS BBD chips we used in the original Memory Lane and the Memory Lane 2. We've tried some the of the currently manufactured low voltage BBD chips and weren't completely happy with how they sounded. The solution? Mike has been slaving away writing custom software for this chip. Yes it's digital! Unlike some the other offerings on the market, it's not an 'off the shelf' general purpose DSP like the PT2399, it's a programable microchip with custom written software by a guy (Mike) with a serious background in signal processing algorithms and psychoacoustics. Does it sound great? Yes! With an analog dry path of course, and it's going to allow us to do things that would be impossible to do with BBD chips. The other factor that really spurred us to develop this pedal is all the players that emailed and called asking us to offer a stripped down or more affordable version. We listened. Note that we will still continue to offer the MLN2 for players who demand a real, honest to goodness analog delay. It's still the king. Figure it to be about 1/2 the price of the ML2"
short and sweet -
digital (analog sounding) stripped down version of the ML2 with long delays (more than 1 second) and 9V power that's PP2 compatable (around $297 estimated price). looks cool but i'm sticking with my ML2
