The Clone Theory is one of my favorite chorus pedals, but it is VERY different than anything else on the market. It will significantly color your tone. It’s deep, lush, bright, spacious, and can be used for some serious tone warping because of its heavy vibrato-like qualities at low rate settings. It nails the Peter Hook bass chorus sound (after all, he did use one of the original Clone Theory pedals ).

If you’re looking for something more “mundane” yet distinctly EHX, the Small Clone is a great choice.

You guys can drool over the compact Memory Toy all you want… but I want the Memory Boy.

And maybe the Cathedral, too.

And I’m already aching for the Enigma after watching the Jack Conte video.

…damn you, Scott!

My main amp is a Gallien-Krueger (GK) Fusion 550. I love its tone, and the second channel has proven useful for a grindy, aggressive overdrive sound. It runs a matching GK Neo 410, for a full and punchy rock/metal tone.

My practice rig is an older GK MBS150-III combo. It’s decently loud and very light – perfect for taking it on the road when I find myself practicing anywhere but home.

I really don’t get where you’re coming from, LesPaulCustom79, but Ned’s right – the op amp versions were only made for a short period of time in the 1970s.

And for the record, I’ve NEVER used a Big Muff which sounded like overdrive to me. It’s distinctly fuzzy, through and through.

That’s a Morley (Tel-Ray era) pedal, and yes, it’s an oil-can… something.

They made a few oil-can-based effects back then… it could be the Rotating Wah, or the Rotating Sound Synthesizer. The former apparently created a Leslie-style effect, or could be used as a “traditional” Morley wah or volume pedal. So, no oilcan delay.

I think it’s the former, as I have no idea whether the Rotating Sound Synthesizer used the same oilcan/treadle format. I’ve never seen one…

But I HAVE seen the Rotating Wah. If you thought the old Power Wahs were massive, that’s even bigger! Sadly, I had the opportunity to try it out and I didn’t. If I’m lucky, the shop that had it might still have it… I’ll check tomorrow.

EDIT: I just found a photo of the RSS. It doesn’t have a treadle – just the oilcan part and a platform for the switch and knobs. That means the pedal in the Gilmour photo can only be the Rotating Wah.

Everyone’s clamoring for more delay time… but honestly, I don’t see most people really using all of that extra delay time. Besides, if it’s truly going to be analog, then kiss that possibility goodbye. Even the insanely-priced Moog Moogerfooger Analog Delay barely goes over 1 second.

If delay time is essential, then that’s what digital is for. Besides, analog delay pedals usually have low headroom, and that’s counterproductive to effectively using a pedal with a long delay time. IMO, of course, but if I were to want long delay times, I’d also want a lot of headroom… and both of those are features of the digital delay.

I’m hoping the Memory Boy is a delay pedal that exists somewhere between an MXR Carbon Copy and the EHX Deluxe Memory Man. Analog delay tones, perhaps more headroom, oscillation, modulation, chorus… stuff like that.

I’m a HUGE fan of modulated delay, but have no room for the Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai. Here’s to hoping that the Memory Boy stays as compact as its current prototype!

Julian summarized our internal mod-versus-mod spam debates pretty well.

I’d also like to add that options do exist for minimizing the concerns about scamming fellow users and rubbing retailers the wrong way. They would require altering the forums and shifting moderator resources.

For the record, not all spam is prohibited. It just needs to be in lunch meat form.
