Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:I have a similar problem (blend acting as backward volume, no other knobs working), but only when a power supply is plugged in. I have tried it with two different power supplies which work with other pedals, including EHX ones… It works OK with a battery.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks…
CameronWhat is the polarity of the power supplies? Make sure it’s center negative.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Just got it through the post… and its broked at the mo.Half the circuit board became detached upon opening, but easily connected back into place
At the moment the blend knob acts as a volume but in reverse. Nothin else really happens elsewhere
Any quick fix ? I see a few mention probs & solution so wondered if I was missing something here… ???
trim pots reveal nothing.
cheers
OwenIf the secondary board was detached after being shipped then it will behave exactly as you described, the BLEND control works as a backwards volume pot. When you re-attach the secondary board make sure all of the pins line up correctly with the socket on the main board.
If it still doesn’t work, the secondary board may be damaged.

Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:I bought a Memory boy at the beginning of this year for my bass.Problem: After approximately 5 uses the Chorus function stopped working. The Delay function kept working but if i was in the chorus mode with the Depth knob turned up to any position I’d get no chorus, the dry signal comes through but no chorus. If the blend was all the way clockwise (wet) there would just be no sound at all.
I sent it back to the dealer and they replaced it for me saying it is not a common problem with EHX pedals but now my new one has just done the same thing.
I’m running it off a 9v battery only and have tried it in my pedal board and isolated. I have run it with multiple basses (passive/active) and wonder if an active preamp may be too high input signal for the pedal to handle(?).
Any help/info would be appreciated
It’s got to be the battery. The battery does not last long in the Memory Boy. At best 3 or 4 hours and that might have been tested without the modulation.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Just got my DXMB yesterday. When 100% wet, the delayed signal sounds “noisy.” Anyone else notice this? Is it just an analog delay artifact?Probably an analog delay artifact. Usually the longer the delay time, the noisier it will be.

Plan to purchase a HOG there (very expensive here in Japan) and bring it back here. My question is: do I need a different power supply for the HOG to work in Japan? Can the HOG run off of a Pedal Power (Japanese version)? Thanks for your help.I don’t know about the Pedal Power but the HOG needs about 250mA at 9VDC. The HOG’s US AC Adapter will probably work ok in Japan but you would be better off buying the Japanese version of that AC Adapter or using another power supply.
The polarity of the HOG’s power jack is center positive.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Yes it is regulated,
i do not check the polarity yet, but i am gonna do it.
Thanks for your answersIf it’s regulated (and the polarity is correct) it will be totally fine. Sometimes unregulated AC Adapters with high current ratings put out a higher output voltage than what they are rated for, if significantly less current is being drawn.
Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Hello,
i have a 9V DC but it’s 670mA,
is it OK for the Memory Toy?Probably would be fine. Do you know if the output is regulated? Make sure the polarity is center negative.

I have a small list I have started to compile so I’ll find it and post the muffs I have measured so far.This sounds right to me.

Flick (EHX Staff)ModeratorQuote:Thanks for the answers on the current draw.I got the Memory Toy yesterday, and I love it. For now I am using the battery that it came with. I am going to put it on my pedal board that is now powered by a OneSpot, but that will be replaced soon by a powersupply with separate outlets (9VDC).
The manual says to only use an EHX powersupply (it didn’t come with one). I am curious why a third party PS would not work.
You can use the Memory Toy with a 1 Spot or just about any third party power supply that supplies at least 25 mA at 9VDC. The polarity is center negative.
