ELECTRO HARMONIX Memory Boy

ELECTRO-HARMONIX Memory Boy Analog Delay / Chorus / Vibrato

The Electro-Harmonix Memory Boy is a fully analog delay pedal that takes the best features of the "Memory Man" and adapts them for the modern musician. Unlike digital pedals, the Memory Boy's sound is characterized by exceptional warmth and organic texture, which is perfect for creating atmosphere, slap-back effects, or psychedelic self-oscillations (when the pedal starts to "play itself").

A distinctive feature of this model is its flexible modulation. You can choose between a gentle Chorus (triangle wave) and an aggressive Vibrato (square wave), adding movement to the echo tail. An additional Expression Pedal input allows you to control the delay time or modulation rate with your foot, opening up wide possibilities for experimentation during live performances.

Key Features

• True Analog Path: Uses "Bucket Brigade" chips for a warm and lively tone.
• Delay Time: Up to 550 ms of natural analog echo.
• Modulation Control:
  • Chorus / Vibrato: Selectable modulation type function.
  • Triangle / Square: Switch for waveform selection (triangle for smooth chorus, square for choppy vibrato).
• Expression Pedal Input: Allows connecting an external pedal to control delay time or modulation rate.
• True Bypass: Ensures a clean signal when the effect is off.
