Electro Harmonix Memory Boy Echo Chorus & Vibrato Pedal

The long lost son of the sought after Memory Man is here! A more compact, cheaper version of it’s Daddy, the Memory Boy Analog Delay features an expression pedal input for controlling the modulation rate, Square or Triangle Wave modulation and Vibrato / Chorus modes, as well as all the controls you’d expect from a delay pedal.

Reviews

  • “At its simplest, the Memory Boy will do a convincing rock ‘n’ roll-style slapback – it should be pointed out that it doesn’t do pristine digital-style delay and nor is it supposed to.”
  • “The Memory Boy comes in a much smaller, more robust, cast metal housing than its predecessors, with the added advantage of taking up less pedalboard real estate.”
  • “Getting lost in the Memory Boy simply requires a fairly loud amp and five minutes of your time. It spans nice slapback delay to schizophrenic sonic silliness that experi-mentalists will adore… At this price, it’s a winner. 4.5/5”

Mick Taylor – Guitarist Magazine

Electro Harmonix

Founded by Mike Matthews in New York City in 1968, Electro-Harmonix became known for inventive effects that brought new sounds within reach of guitarists. Its first product was the LPB-1 Linear Power Booster; the company’s long-running catalogue ranges from fuzz and overdrive to delay, modulation, octave and experimental processing. JustPedals listings include the Small Clone chorus, Small Stone phaser, Memory Boy delay, POG 2 octave generator and Micro Q-Tron envelope filter. Check the exact version and power requirements when comparing EHX models, since familiar names often span different generations and formats.

Chorus Pedals

Chorus mixes the dry signal with one or more short, continuously modulated delays. The small pitch and timing movement between the paths creates width, shimmer and the impression of several instruments playing together. Rate controls the modulation speed, depth controls its excursion, and delay or mix settings determine whether the result is subtle thickening, a liquid wobble or a broad stereo image.

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Delay

Creates one or more time-separated copies of the signal. Delay time sets their spacing, feedback determines how many repeats continue, and filtering, modulation or saturation decides whether successive echoes remain clean, darken, wobble or break apart.

Digital

Converts the signal or control process into numerical data for algorithmic processing. Digital designs can provide precise timing, long memory, complex routing and repeatable presets; sample rate, conversion, internal resolution and latency influence fidelity and response.

Vibrato

Modulates pitch above and below the played note without the dry/modulated mixture that creates chorus. Rate, depth, waveform and delay-line character determine whether the motion is a gentle instability, pronounced wobble or tape-like drift.
