Short and sweet..
So nothing to do, huh?
The old tape will have to do the trick?eirikapettMember*bump*
I’d really like to know if anyone has a solution to the PSU problem with the memboy. As I said in my last post, this seems like two differnet pedals on the different PSUs. I’d really like to have the punch and clarity the pedal gets on the stock supply but with my PP2. But keep the full 550ms it gets when powered by the pp2. If anyone has any ideas what to do, I’d greatly appreciate it. Perhaps use som kind of resistance and give it 12v lowered to around 9,5? Anyone? Because I don’t know..
All help would be greatly appreciated!eirikapettMemberI’m experiencing roughly the same thing here. On the stock supply the Boy has clear, punchy repeats. It oscillates at 2.30, but the echotime is actually shorter than my Boss DM2, so less than 330ms. If I power it from my voodoolab PP2 the echotime is the same as on my DMM. But, the echo volume is considerably lower, it does not oscillate and the repeats loose definition after about second or third repeat. The repeats also resonate considerably on the higher frequencies. It’s actually kind of cool, though. Like a DM2 only brighter. Feels more like a reverb than an echo when you play.
All the MB/MT I’ve tried have reacted a bit different. And they also seem to in the youtube videos. So I guess it’s a calibration issue? Does anyone know how to tweak the pots to perfection?
One more thing. At first I was kind of disappointed it didn’t capture more of the DMM vibe, but if you take it for what it is, it’s really a great pedal!! One thing I’ve noticed though is that where the DMM sounds great with almost anything (drummachines, synths, guitars, bass) the memboy really shines with guitars, but not so much on anything else. Seems to fit the guitars frequency specter spot on! Just a heads up to anyone considering it..

A bit more feedback, but no oscillation. Mod still terrible. I tried the boy also. No good. I am sorry to say this, because i really wanted to love these pedals, but I think the good folks at EHX jumped the gun on these ones. I didn’t expect this to be as great at a DMM, but these pedals are nothing compared. The DMM is an instrument, a “beast” you have to tame! A really inspiring pedal to play, and play around with. The MB & MT aint. Sorry. Utube videos reveal a very inconsistent quality on the feedback an d mod side on the new ones. Probably should have gone through a bit more rigorous testing..
If the good people of EHX care for a bit of feedback, you really should reverse the mod switch on the toy, so it’s not so easy to accidentally switch on the mod while engaging the pedal. Hell, remove the mod option all together. make the toy a basic analog delay. Increase the feedback possibilities so they can oscillate. Yes, it is juvenile fun, but an analog delay that can’t make crazy oscillations lacks something important.DMM is still nr 1!

Tried the pedal solo, and with effects. It worked just the same.
But thanks!If you go to page two on the link from my original post, there’s a picture description of the correct pot.
Good luck messing with it!
Worked wonders, apparently, for that guy on the other forum! -
