The JHS Mod Shop Deluxe Memory Boy is a JHS Pedals-modified version of the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Boy BBD analog delay, with JHS adding an external tap tempo jack so players can sync the delay time to a footswitch rather than relying on the onboard tap button alone. The underlying circuit keeps the Deluxe Memory Boy's warm, dark bucket-brigade analog delay character with built-in chorus/vibrato modulation; the JHS modification only extends its tap-tempo flexibility rather than altering its core tone. It suits players who already want the Deluxe Memory Boy's analog warmth but need external, footswitch-based tempo control on a gigging pedalboard.
The Providence Chrono Delay is a premium analog-voiced digital delay from Providence (Japan), a respected Japanese boutique effects manufacturer known for high-quality analog effects and professional-grade construction. The Chrono Delay delivers warm, musical delay with precise time control and high-quality analog-voiced repeats in a professional Providence construction format for studio and stage use.
