Memory Boy : Wide range of natural tones!

12 years ago

An amazing analog delay that offers a wide range of tones ranging from natural, post-rock delay to more obscure, space-like effects.

The Memory Boy is arguably more versatile than any digital delay on the market however it does require some getting used to. I spent almost 2 days just messing with settings before I could find a usable tone. But once I found the delay tone that worked for me I haven't looked back.

This pedal also features different levels of delay: I found the vibrato level to be most useful for obtaining post rock sounds. However, the feedback knob must be turned beyond 10 o'clock in order for the note to ring. The chorus provided a subtle delay on sustained chords, which I find very useful.

Only minor problem is the handling. This pedal can be difficult to use at first, however in the long-term this is outweighed by the quality of delay this pedal offers.
