Deluxe Memory Boy Analog Delay Pedal with Tap Tempo Review

Feature packed!

The memory boy got plugged in through the effects loop on my fender deluxe. I"ve gotten the most subtle and delicate delays to some gnarly infinity feedback build up. The effects loop access can really color and shape your delay further. The expression pedal makes for some of the best control you didn"t think you needed on a delay pedal. With so much control, you think it was a… read more digital delay if it wasn"t for the warm analog sound characteristics. Definitely more value than I thought I was getting.

Really versatile pedal

This thing is just great. So much parameter control in a reasonably sized package. Tap tempo + subdivision selection is super handy - simply tap the tempo and then select the subdivision you want the delay to be. Highly recommend you pick up an expression pedal to plug into this for additional on-the-fly parameter control. I pretty much just stick with the expression controlling… read more the feedback for dynamic swelling, but modulating the other parameters can be fun too. The depth modulation and wet signal effects loop is just icing on the cake as it opens up all kinds of options for interesting sounds. A great buy.

Excellent pedal.

Really great pedal. Anything from adding slight atmosphere to your playing to huge ambient landscapes, this pedal does it all! The depth is the key to getting a fantastic sound out of it, as well as the rate.

Wonderful delay!

Incredible pedal for the price. The tap divide is so brilliant, and for under 200 bucks, definitely the best delay on the market for the money. Any other tap divide/modulation capable pedals with the amount of depth the Deluxe Memory Boy has are astronomically more expensive. So much fun to play with.

Best Analog Delay

This is the best analog delay I have used. It is loaded with features, which is something you don't typically find with analog delays. The tap tempo feature makes life a lot easier when playing live. I haven't found another analog delay that gives you this much control. As far as the sound goes, its clean and natural, not digitized like with digital delays. You can get some funky… read more tones out of the delay if you mess with the depth control. The only change I would like to see is for the tap tempo button to be a momentary switch instead of a catch and release switch. That would enable the user to dial in faster delay times by foot. I will be modding my pedal with a new switch, not too difficult, but it'd be nice if it came that way stock.
