    Hi there. I’ve recently bought the memoryman with hazarai. I love it. It sounds absoulutly fantastic, but only on clean. As soon as i put my amp onto overdrive (p.s it is the amps overdrive, i don’t use overdrive pedals, it’s a fender hotrod deluxe 4 10 if that’s any help ?) the delay becomes really muddy, unclear and just not very nice at all. Any suggestions would be greatly, greatly appreciated, i just can’t wait to gig the thing :). Thanks for your time. Carl Doobwah. x

    yeah, well… it’s the well known fact that usually, you should put delay AFTER the overdrive

    not always, but with more overdriven sounds, it can be important

    where is your pedal connected? in the effects loop or straight into the amp?

    yeah, well that’s it probably

    does your amp have an effects loop (i don’t know fenders very well)? if it does, try to connect the delay through it and you’ll see if it gets better (i bet it will)
