Members El Cheapo Posted May 12, 2006 Members Share Posted May 12, 2006 My EH Deluxe Memory Man finally fritzed, so I sent it to Howard for repair, alignment and mods. Right off the bat, Howard was quick and friendly with email correspondence and once the work was performed, I got the unit back quickly. I can safely say that the DMM has been re-born. It sounds spectacular. The delay time has been increased. Overall clarity increased and the modulation sounds better. Howard did a few other mods (impedance, on/off LED etc) that are detailed on his site. He even cleaned the box up real nice and laquered it for protection. Totally cool. If you've got a DMM, I highly reccomend Howards service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the old Russian Small Stones! he told me he wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft pole, and that i should get the USA version and THEN he would mod it!

They are really cheaply made pedals so it's not really worth modifying them. The switches are really weird, hard to mount a normal stomp switch. Also jacks are attached to the board so they need to be pulled off and replaced with normal jacks, so it's very expensive. The USA small stones are inexpensive even with our mods, a much better use of money than throwing good money at bad with the Russian pedals." thats from analogmans website. apparently, they really arent worth fooling with, cause howards not the only one who wont work on them. no problem though, since the american ones arent expensive anyway...

Members paul d Posted May 12, 2006 Members Share Posted May 12, 2006 Yep, I just got my Electric Mistress back from Howard this morning. I only had a minute to play with it but it sounds much better than it used to. Quick turnaround too, and patient with questions. Good experience overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members El Cheapo Posted May 12, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 12, 2006 If his site does not go into the delay time increase, there is a line where you can email him for a list of mods. It's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
