Home › Forums › Help/Technical Questions › MEMORY BOY PROBLEM
I bought a memory boy from someone in my country recently (Malaysia). First of all he never use the pedal.
The serious problem is, it’s not even an analog delay but a crazy phase shifter! I’m really upset with the result. After I watched some videos on youtube, I noticed that it will shift the pitch when expression pedal is in use. The point is, I never touch the expression pedal input. I’ve tried use some batteries and other adapters after the original adapter is blown up. It’s crazy and I don’t believe it. Somebody please help me fix this.
hi,
i own the deluxe version of the memory boy and one tip i can give is – be very careful with dialling in modulation depth. it goes easily into very strange sounding modulations. start with turning the depth knob all the way to the left (counterclockwise) to turn the modulation off. then try to play with delay only – turn up the feedback and blend to hear your delayed signal louder.
here are the instructions on the website:

this said – i am very glad to have bought the deluxe version, because the delayed signal is ducked/gated first – depending on the gain of the input signal – louder input – more ducking. too much ducking imho, but i guess it’s to keep the delay signal cleaner – the chips would overload too easily if a highgain signal would “overdrive” the chipset. that’s my guess only.
anyway – in the deluxe version i can put a booster/eq in the effects loop and this way enhance the delayed signal – golden!
hope, this helped.
greetings to malaysia
