Hi,
I’m new in the forum and i’m registering here in last attempt to get some help.
I’m a proud owner of an EHX Memory Boy, not the deluxe version, just the normal.
My Pedal was used sometimes and at some point was puted asside in his original box, stored.
Some months maybe years passed, and when i decided to use it again, i figured that the pedal is not working properly:– The pedal Turns ON;
– I have sount in bypass, in both ON and OFF position.
– When i turned it on, i have the LED that indicates its on;
-But i don’t have effects, the only knob that does some kind of modulation in the sound is the blend one…notice:
– I tried Different power sources, inclusive battery;
– I assembled an audio probe, and checked for the beep of the clock sound in every test point, i have the beep everywhere that changes to a wave kind of sound if i mess with the wave switch;
– I measured every pont od the footswitch , in both positions, and seems its working properly.
– I measured the voltage in every hilectrolytic capacitor, some are around 5v and some around 9v.I readed a lot about the BIAS trimpots but never messed with them…
Can you guys help with some clues about how can i check this problem?
I don’t find any Diagram of this pedal,,,,and since its a SMD one…i’m really geting an hard time trying to figured it out whats the problem …Thanks in advance

The best thing for analog delays is to contact our tech at info@ehx.com.
It may be out of aliment, and not something to adjust without the right test gear.
Drop them a note.April 13, 2023 at 10:13 am #198484RebuilderParticipantI forget to mention that i’m from Europe…i will contact, but from what i read on the foruns, the costs of sending/repairing/receiving the pedal will not worth it. Thats why i’m trying more options first…

April 13, 2023 at 3:39 pm #198500RebuilderParticipantUnfortunely UK are already out of UK, i’ve contacted the email that you gave me and realized that they gave me a German Dealer.
Already send an email for them…let’s see…
But i supposed its not worth the repair….if it is lets imagine, 25€ plus shipment it overcome the second hand prices…lets see.
Meanwhile…anyone have some idea of what it can be?
