I am thinking of purchasing a Boss DM-3 for a slapback effect. DOes anyone have this pedal and would recommend me buying this? Or actually would a DM-2 work better for this.

I will! ;) They're great! I think you'd be very happy with the DM-3. The only difference between the DM-2 and 3, is the 3 has a second out for a tuner. I own both and can't really hear much difference between the two.

Great pedals!

that and the dm-3 has a different BBD (the title is "low noise, low power" etc).

The DM3 and DM2 are similar except as stated, the DM3 as a dry output for splitting your signal. The DM3 is also supposedly a little brighter sounding.

I have a DM2 and it is a wonderful sounding delay. Great for slap or spacey stuff. The delay time is pretty short, so it is limited in that regard. The DM2 are going for CRAZY money on ebay. At that price, I would think about saving a bunch and getting a DD20, which has a very good DM2 simulation and has the added benefit of programmability (along with a bunch of other types of delay). I still have my DM2, buy my DD20 is on my pedalboard. If you ever do anything other than slapback, look hard at the DD20- it is indispensible in live situations.

The DM-3 is a little 'cleaner' and the DM-2 is a little 'warmer'; the most reliable analog delays out there.
