Electro-Harmonix Nano Deluxe MM
Electro-Harmonix · pedal
The Electro-Harmonix Nano Deluxe Memory Man packs the company's iconic Deluxe Memory Man analog delay, chorus and vibrato into a compact chassis, delivering warm bucket brigade echoes from 30 to 550 milliseconds with lush modulation on the repeats. Dedicated Rate and Depth controls shape the chorus and vibrato that the Memory Man is famous for, letting the repeats shimmer and warble. From warm slapback and rhythmic echoes to ambient, modulated delay tails, it captures the classic big box Deluxe Memory Man tone in a pedalboard friendly size. It suits rock, indie, ambient and experimental players who want vintage analog delay with rich modulation in a small enclosure.
