Incredible for what it is.
This is not a digital delay - it is analog, and because of that, it only goes up to 550ms. That, however, is why I bought it. It will not give you long digital delay times if you're after that, but it will give you great slapback up to lush ambient delay with the feedback turned up. The depth controls can give you a variety of very specialized sounds but be prepared to scarcely use them. When they do fit the song, however, they make it that much more dreamy. You can also plug a volume/expression pedal to it and control delay time or depth. I really recommend this to anyone going for ambient soundscapes or shorter delays.
Very Cool and versatile delay pedal. And for the right price at that. You can find them used for around $75

simple, good and cheap.
It is a small version of Memory man. There is no "tap tempo" button and it is sad. There are simple but crazy modulation modes, which can be used to make space synth noises. Time of delay varies from 30 ms to 550 ms. It goes from doubling to slapback very easy. Then you can go to echoes. Modulation can go from chorus to vibrato. Also you can connect Exp. add for modulation and delay time control. If you don't care about tap, big long echoes and want analog sound vintage delay - this one is for you.

Uso em todas as musicas da two places
Esse pedal é o principal pedal do set.. Ele é usado em todas as partes sem drive, e as vezes tambem é usado em momentos com drive.. Não costumo usar muito como um delay de repetição, e sim como um delay pra deixar o clean mais bonito e duradouro haha

great basic modulated analog
funny thing with this one it sounds better on vocals than guitar! add an expression pedal to really get this one going

Dark delay
Pedal analog delay dengan karakter lumayan dark. dilengkapi input exp pedal jadi bisa eksplor suara aneh-aneh dengan ganti time delay/rate chorus vibrato menggunakan exp pedal
5 estrellas
Sin perder el tono de mi guitarra, este pedal versátil fácil de usar que puedes lograr muuuuchos sonidos encantadores hasta un chorus

It's a classic
Analog delay with modulation and selectable waves, it gets the job done and sounds good, modding it for the mod rate can add a little more to it.
Definitely cool!
Memory man pedals are awesome but so huge your pedalboard disappears.

A lot of pedal for a boyish price.
The Electro-Harmonix Memory Boy is a smooth analog delay that takes its heritage from the 1970s Memory Man and the legendary Deluxe Memory Man. The Memory Boy uses the Deluxe Memory Man as a base, expanding upon it with additional modulation features and an optional expression pedal input for external control over delay time or modulation rate.
Memory Boy features a 550ms delay time, allowing you to explore limitless textures. A three-way toggle switch lets you add in vibrato or chorus, or control the delay time with an external expression pedal.
Since the early 1970's, Electro-Harmonix has been designing analog delays featured on some of the greatest recordings and used by iconic musicians throughout the world. From the original Memory Man guitar pedal to the Deluxe Memory Man, still available today, EHX delay pedals are desired instruments for the organic tones that deliver textures that define quality.
Specifications
- All analog delay with Feedback
- Up to 550ms delay time
- Selectable Chorus or Vibrato modulations rates
- Choose between triangle or square modulation waveforms
- Expression pedal control of delay time or modulation rate (expression pedal extends the range of modulation rate)
INCREDIBLE Analog Delay with a million sounds inside!
This thing is Amazing, the quality of the repeats, the coloration on the sound. You can create incredible musical landscapes with this, and as I said, it has A MILLION SOUNDS inside. Plug it in, fuck around with the knobs, it can go anywhere to slapbacks to long psychedelic delays. It has modulation too, and it can go all the way from subtle musical, to unusable 8 bit sounding stuff, I love this pedal, it will stay in my board forever.
