Deluxe Memory Boy : Great pedal, amazing features and quality for an affordable price!

12 years ago

This pedal is great! Amazing quality for a very affordable price. The tap divide sequence mode and choice between sine/square wave modulation are very cool features. And it's great to have an effects loop for the delay signal, I don't know of another pedal that does that!

I've been using this pedal for quite some time now, and it is so versatile! Once you get familiar with the controls, you'll see that a wide array of sounds and colours are possible. The sine wave modulation can give a very warm and lush sounding delay ideal for bulking up your sound or even giving a wash under your sound. The square wave modulation is CRAZY! It can be tuned to anything up to a 14th above and below your dry sound, which is quite remarkable. I mainly tune it to a 5th or an octave as these seem to be the most useful for creating sounds that won't conflict too much with the harmony of what you're playing.

I even managed to create a fake lo-fi sounding broken tape delay sound with this pedal, it blows my mind! If you want a nice warm analogue delay with some additional experimental features, this pedal is ideal for you!
