Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 I haven't seen an official lounge for the Memory Boy, but if it exists, then sorry. Regardless, an official lounge is perfunctory. Here's my first demo of the Memory Boy: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7978974 Related Threads: EHX NAMMMMMM Memory Boy The Memory Boy Is Way Crazier Than You'd Expect Memory Boy Clip Carbon Copy, Memory Boy, Ekko 616, or ? memory boy noise clip When will teh Memory Boy be available??

Members OldCrankyDouche Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 I dig mine. Its a *weeee* bit hissy with any sort of dirt and with the Blend knob past noon. I keep mine with Time almost maxed, Depth barely on (// with Vibrato), Blend at 11, and Feedback at 2 oclock. ALl in all, I kinda miss my Carbon Copy. But if the need arises, the Boy will make some WACKY noises. Very tweakable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you can definitely hear analog noise in some of the extreme settings, and that's just the nature of pushing less than $100 worth of BBDs. As has been said in other threads, the repeats on the Memory Boy are noticeably darker than the DMM. I used my EHX 10 Band Graphic EQ to pull some clarity out of the repeats. Overall, though, this is the most exciting delay pedal I've ever used for under $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brianeharmonjr Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 I love almost everything about my Memory Boy. The dark repeats, the modulation wave shape, expression pedal, smaller footprint, 9v power, under $100 street price. Am I nuts for thinking about buying another?

Members Double D Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 WHY NO TAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members olgluefoot Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 I hate to say it... but the Boost DLA w/tap has given me cold feet about the memory boy. If only I could afford both Trails flutter control, and the tap works when the pedal is bypassed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members driverhasabomb Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 WHY NO TAP To put it simply it's not really "that kind of delay". Think of the memory boy as more atmospheric and ethereal. The repeats are dark and can get very lo-fi sounding. When you're playing within a real mix and are playing rhythmic delay it needs to cut through and become part of the line you're playing. In other words you want fairly bright repeats... either a digital delay or a brighter analog delay (DMM). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think EHX intended to make it a do-it-all analog delay, though it does a lot. It does some very unique things that no other analog delay does, definitely for the price-point.

Members V-man Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 This thread may not be the most objective place to ask, and the question may be too subjective, but I am curious to know if one is better off with this or the Carbon Copy.

Members jb1911 Posted August 16, 2009 Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 This thread may not be the most objective place to ask, and the question may be too subjective, but I am curious to know if one is better off with this or the Carbon Copy. I have both and like them both, but the Boy's modulation sounds better to me and it's more adjustable than the CC's modulation. I like the darker repeats, though it's not as lush and full sounding as the DMM that I have. I was also worrying about the CC's switch crapping out on me, I had one go bad already, the one I have now is the replacement. I know MXR will fix it if it breaks, but I don't want to go 3 weeks without it. All in all I'm really happy with the MB, I got more for the CC than the MB cost new.

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted August 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 16, 2009 EHX is on a roll with these new designs, if only they'd release an original OD (not that germ thing though ) The Germ OD is really kick-ass, albeit slightly unconventional. I agree, though, that EHX is on a roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
