The Electro-Harmonix Memory Toy is a compact analog delay, a close cousin of the legendary Memory Man, delivering lush, warm, organic bucket-brigade echo in an affordable, pedalboard-friendly box. It offers up to 550 milliseconds of delay, enough for thickening solos or spiraling into self-oscillating analog chaos, with simple Blend, Feedback, and Delay controls. A switchable modulation adds a subtle chorus to the repeats that is especially clear on clean tones, lending movement and depth. The repeats are dark and musical in true analog fashion, blending naturally with an amp rather than sitting on top of the signal. It suits players wanting classic analog delay warmth on a budget, working as a great entry analog delay while still dialing in precisely for experienced users.
The Walrus Audio Fundamental Delay is part of the brand's affordable, streamlined Fundamental series, proving how flexible delay can be in a simple, board-ready pedal. Uniquely among the Fundamental pedals, it features a Tap Tempo mode accessed by holding the footswitch, with a three-way switch selecting the musical subdivision, alongside sliders for the core delay controls and a mode switch for different delay voicings. It covers everything from tight slapback and rhythmic tap-synced repeats to longer, ambient trails, with the tonal integrity to sit on a professional board while staying friendly to newcomers. It suits players wanting good-sounding, versatile delay at a budget price, from rhythmic dotted patterns to atmospheric washes, in a compact, easy-to-use enclosure with the practical addition of tap tempo and subdivisions.
