Why can’t the Memory Boy be 100 dollars?
If Malekko can sell the 616 for 150
and MXR can sell the Carbon copy for 150
and Behringer can make the Vintage Time Machine or whatever it’s called for 60
and BYOC can sell kits for 150Why couldn’t the Memory Boy be 100 dollars?
I think it’s fairly obvious that they aren’t going to use NOS chips in the Memory Boy. When you’re not using NOS chips, the prohibitive cost of making analog delays is eliminated.
julianModeratorQuote:As for the MBoy costing $100 – I think that was before they decided to make the MToy. Meaning that when the street price was listed, it was with the intention of the Boy being what the Toy is now. And then they decided to make the two pedals.That’s why I’m thinking the Toy will be $99, and the Boy will be $214.
Memory Toy was rumored to be in development when that price first came out. It wasn’t like they just came up with the Memory Toy.
They designed the Memory Boy to be a 100 dollar pedal, and raising it to 214 just because they want the cheapest option to be 100 doesn’t make sense to me.
julianModeratorSupposedly the Memory Boy is going to be 100 dollars street.
Regardless, my GAS list is reaching ridiculous proportions. Probably about 1500 in EH stuff, and 1000 in non EH stuff. And in the last 12 months I’ve spent about 350 bucks on pedals.
julianModeratorwith the MB set to a short delay time so you just have chorus or vibrato, maybe it would be cool to do some speed adjustments in sort of a univibe type way
julianModeratorYeah, it depends on how it’s modulated.
julianModeratorI used to have an SR-16. Good unit.
julianModeratornice!
I still need to figure out the perfect solution for myself!
julianModeratorMy questions:
Cathedral:
-what does infinite do?V256:
-what do the drone modes do?
-what does reflex tune mode do?
-what does instrument control mode do?
-what does transposition mode do?Memory Boy:
-what does the expression mode control?julianModeratorI’m hoping for some really crazy sounds with the Memory Boy.
julianModeratorThe cathedral and memory boy look amazing!!!
Maybe infinite is sort of like a verb freeze. That’d be cool.
Expression pedal and square wave on the Memory Boy. I’m drooling. (Not literally)
julianModeratorhow to use an FX send depends on the mixer and you should check the manual. But usually, there is an FX send and return jack- you plug send into the IN on the pedal, and plug the out into the Return. Then there’s usually some way on your mixer to route the channel into the FX loop, and also a way to mix in the FX loop volume.
julianModeratorQuote:So when EHX makes a “deluxe” model and a “stereo” model, they are usually analog and digital, like in the memory man? Is this a constant?Not necessarily
stereo pulsar and stereo clone theory are both analog.
Plus there is the old stereo memory man (completely different than one with hazarai) that was analog.
julianModeratorwhat do you mean exactly? The Moog Taurus is a pretty versatile unit.
I’m sure Bill Ruppert could achieve most of them, his FX pedal skills are sick.
julianModeratorAdd in some tape distortion and bands like No Age and Wavves would eat a pedal like that up.
Speaking of Wavves:
