hello
i just recently purchased my first electro-harmonix product, the deluxe memory boy, and i just have some questions about it.1)is the pedal supposed to have a used look to it? i bought it new but there are nicks and dents on the face of the pedal
2)the bypass foot switch seem to be a lot harder to step on than the tap foot switch, and also harder than my mxr pedal. this normal?
3)can it be powered by a 1 spot?
help a noob out!!
thanks in advance for all responses.April 28, 2011 at 1:59 pm #115107Mr. ORANGEMemberQuote:hello

for the first question – I think it’s not, not the face – the sides and the back look a bit vintage on purpose though…
2) This is how it suppose to be…The tap switch should go easy in case you want to tap a very fast tempo whereas the bypass switch is hard to stomp so you can really feel when you engage the effect and because it bypasses the effect manually. But I agree with you, it’s kind of too much with the new pedals – Cathedral has it too – I like it better on my Memory man – it’s not that light, so I wouldn’t feel it engaging and not that hard either…But I don’t see it as a problem…I’m stomping on the effects sometimes while playing and singing simoutaneously so I really need to feel that I’ve turned it on…The only problem occurs at home with bare feet…It hurts ! :doh:
3) I wouldn’t do that if I were you…the sound is nothing when daisy-chained – weak and hissy

Yea for some reason the face is a bit scuffed up, nothing too severe but makes me wonder if it was used and returned (my paranoia at work)
it’s a shame I can’t use 1 spot, but it’s definitely worth the trouble, the memory boy is awsome!
April 28, 2011 at 6:42 pm #115110The DXMB can be powered by a 1-spot. I use it myself in a pedalboard with other analog and digital pedals and it runs just fine.
Keep in mind that the 1-spot can supply a maximum of 1700mA. You may be using a combination of pedals that exeed this current limit. The DXMB draws 100mA.

glad i can use the 1 spot, cause i do not wanna spend more $$ on a power supply.thanks for the tip
April 28, 2011 at 9:48 pm #115112Mr. ORANGEMemberMy mistake for the 1-SPOT…I’ve only read comments on the Harmony central, that it’s hissy and never actually tried it with my one…sorry…
And check your order or something because it’s supposed to come WITH a power supply…
April 28, 2011 at 9:54 pm #115113poby346Memberit did come with a power supply, but its easier for me to use a 1-spot daisy chain for my pedal board.
yea, im just gonna have to try it out and see for myself.
