Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Boy

I love this delay, an Analog delay with tap, and modulation, and control over that modulation, you already have my attention !!!

On top of that there is an expression pedal input (i have not used) and an fx loop that only affects the tails (again i have not used but may be changing that soon) All for a very sensible price.

To be honest i bought a memory toy , the nano analog EHX delay(a great budget delay option if you want one trick pony analog delay), fell in love with the mod setting , so much so, i bought another the next month.
So when I noticed this version with tap i instantly knew i would buy it, and it did not dissapoint. I can get the same tone from the memory toy on the Memory boy deluxe, but i have more control over the volume (the mem toy has volume issues occasionally) , more control over the mod so i have tweaked it to taste (it is capabale of some truly insane mods on the tails, i keep it set very subtle) the tone of the delay tail is dark, and the Tap function just seals it

I adore this pedal, as long as this functions i will have it on my main board,i dont need any other pedal it does EXACTLY what i need, and i cant wait to start playing around with the fx loop tails , might add a shimmer there

could be built a little better but no major issues, sound wise and options its top (but for analog sounds with or with out mod only) Size is fine given how much i love it

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!

First of all, I had hard times deciding between EH Memory Boy and Carbon Copy.
Finally I got Memory Boy Deluxe.
I'm not saying it's "better", but it definitely delivers what one may expect from analogue delay.
It is full of features I am still exploring, but I can easily say that deep, kind of Gilmour-ish sound is something I've loved on the first sound.
Plugged through effect loop it sounds clean and nice, both with clean or distorted signal.
It's extremely flexible when it comes to control. Feature I like the most is that I am able to work with expression pedal on rate, delay, feedback, gain etc.
Of course, pedal itself is robust as rock, but this is true for all stuff from Electro Harmonix.

As a noob gear nut i decided to take the advice of my guitar teacher on what pedals i should buy for my first serious board. As a primarily acoustic player i wasnt looking for much, but had always been a fan of how far you can push the acoustic guitar via a simple delay, reverb, and volume pedal arrangement. My guitar teacher recommended this analogue delay from the boys at EHX and i couldnt be happier with my purchase. The pedal is easy to use and has an awesome vintage sound. Combine it with the EHX Cathedral and it opens up the possibilities massively. My only gripe with this pedal is that when you turn it off, it just turns off, no delay fade or anything. But analogue pedals are known for stuff like that so i can hardly whinge on about it. Overall i couldnt recommend this pedal enough for anyone whos looking to take their sound to the next level, but cant be bothered with all the super high tech gear stuff.
