Sorry to resurrect this ancient thread, but…
For me, it’s definitely temperature where the Memory Boy is concerned. No question.
When I go to the drafty rehearsal space and put it on the floor, the max delay time goes down. If I put it up on the vent of my warm amp, it eventually returns to “normal”, but then it’s awfully hard to stomp on. Note – same power supply plugged into the same socket, whether on the floor or on the amp. Back in the studio, it always behaves because I keep it in a nice warm corner of my gear rack, which keeps it at a constant 80F or so. That solution only works because I don’t need to stomp on it there.
[strong]Does anyone have concrete experience with the Deluxe MB[/strong]? Does the delay also get shorter with colder temperatures? If it’s immune to temperature, then it’s problem fixed. But, if the problem is only masked by the tap tempo, then the problems’s only fixed as long as you don’t want a long delay near the top of the dial in a cold room.
