Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man TapTempo 550

Just love it!

It arrived safe and sound after a wait shorter than expected.

So far using it at home and having lots of fun. It's really sturdy as usual when it comes to Electro Harmonix. Using an expression pedal with it is amazing, and each of the parameters can be controlled by it individually. A tap switch is also supported but I haven't tried it and don't think I need it. I've started experimenting with the effect loop and it seems there are many possibilities for manipulating the wet signal without altering the dry one. A reverb in the effects loop helps building dreamy landscapes. The only thing I would like to be able to control would be the attack of each of the repeats, so as to avoid hearing the pluck of the guitar string repeatedly. I guess that's probably the same with all these analog delay pedals. I have an old version of the Earthquaker Disaster Transport, which is also lovely, but lacks the more sophisticated control of the Deluxe Memory Man TT550. The looks is super cool, a modernised design of the traditional Memory Man, with more knobs, more control, and in green, my favourite colour!

THE analog delay pedal

I searched and searched, and just couldn't find anything that compares to the original. Sure, there are very good sounding alternatives, but they are just as big and often more expensive. This is the best of both worlds: the sound of the original in a smaller footprint with tap tempo and a standard 9v power supply. Such a beautiful sound!
