Is that Repeat Rate knob reversed to today's standard?
Seems that when the Rate is at fully CCW the space between the delays is longer, and shorter as you turn CW. Longer to shorter?
On the DD series its shortest to longest.
At first thought it was wired wrong, but the connections to the pcb are through the ribbon cable and the pot is mounted to a pcb. So thats not possible.
Have I been misunderstanding the way it works?
Is it 'slow to fast' or do you think there is something wrong with my DM3?

Was about to sell it, but now I'm liking it

I have got a Marshall Bluebreaker II pedal that has a reverse functioning tone potentiometer. I have never had the time to resolder it correctly. I definitively know that mine works in the opposite direction, because I've sold a few more ones in the music shop and they worked the other way round.

The PS-2 I got last year did also work from slow to fast, this is normal at this model. But I was puzzled the first time I wanted to regulate the delay time.

Are you absolutely sure that they didn't make a mistake here?

I'm pretty sure that's how both the DM-2 & 3 should work but I've heard some people say their's is the other way around.

well it's called REPEAT RATE and not TIME BETWEEN REPEATS...

a high repeat rate would mean that the time between repeats has to be short so that you can fit more repeats into a certain amount of time.

or not....

or simply : rate (frequency)= 1/time.

I think it's cool too the "reverse" control :)
Yes I got a DM-2 recently... what a sound!
