Electro-Harmonix Memory Boy Analog Delay
Electro-Harmonix · pedal
The Electro-Harmonix Memory Boy is a compact analog BBD delay delivering dark, warm delay repeats with built-in modulation, capable of a full 100% wet blend for pure-echo, no-dry-signal textures. Delay Time, Feedback, and Blend controls shape the basic echo, while switchable Chorus or Vibrato modulation with triangle or square waveforms adds tonal movement, and cranking the Depth control produces ghostly, warbling pitch wobble on the repeats. An expression pedal input allows real-time control of delay time or modulation rate. It delivers classic bucket-brigade analog delay warmth in a more compact, accessible format than the Deluxe Memory Man, suiting players who want dark, warbly analog echo with expressive modulation built in.
