ELECTRO HARMONIX Deluxe Memory Man

ELECTRO-HARMONIX Deluxe Memory Man Analog Delay / Chorus / Vibrato

The Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man is more than just a delay pedal; it's an instrument in itself. Using premium analog Bucket-Brigade technology, this pedal creates a thick, warm, and lively tone that cannot be accurately replicated digitally. This specific model shaped the sound of bands like U2 and Radiohead.

The pedal boasts exceptional flexibility. The Delay knob controls the delay time, while Feedback allows you to create everything from a single repeat to infinite, cosmic self-oscillation (when the pedal starts "playing itself"). But the real magic lies in the modulation: the Chorus / Vibrato control allows you to add a subtle shimmer or a deep, oceanic swirling effect to the delay trails. Additionally, the integrated Level control with an "Overload" LED indicator acts as a preamplifier, adding extra weight and character to the signal.

Key Features

• Analog Warmth: True Bucket-Brigade circuit, providing organic, naturally decaying delay.
• Integrated Modulation: Ability to choose between Chorus or Vibrato effects, applied only to the delayed signal.
• Input Gain Control: The Level knob and Overload LED allow setting the optimal input level and even slightly "warming up" the signal.
• Dual Output:
  • Effect Out: Mixed affected signal.
  • Direct Out: Clean signal only (useful in the studio or when using two amplifiers).
• True Bypass: Ensures maximum signal integrity when the effect is off.
