    Actually, I have decided to return it and maybe get another delay pedal. The reasons:

    1. It self oscillates too early. I am not interested in all kind of freaky sounds from a delay pedal.
    2. The blend function decreases the dry signal. I think it is much more logical to keep the dry signal as is, and then increase the wet signal on top of it
    3. My pedal often sounds like a big reverb and ‘metallic’, not very warm.

    If anyone wants to buy it from me (continental US only), send me a pm.

    Yeah I read about tweaking trim1 and tried to adjust it last night. But I didn’t get much of an improvement. So my feedback knob is only usable up until 12 ‘o clock. Is this the expected value at which it starts self oscillating?

    That should be no problem, 670 mA is the max that your adapter can supply. It will only supply what is needed, so you should be fine. But if you feed more pedals with it, make sure the total draw of all pedals combined doesn’t exceed the 670 mA.

    *bump*

    Interestingly, my MT starts self-oscillating with the feedback past 1 o’clock. I just got it yesterday, but noticed that quickly :)

    Is this the correct behaviour?

    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.

    One more question on the Memory Toy. What’s the current draw of the pedal, I didn;t see that listed on the product page.

    FYI, I got an ‘official’ reply from EHX tech support, stating that “any voltage above 12VDC will damage the Memory Toy”

    Thanks for your reply. Since this is the EHX forum, is this the ‘official’ answer? If not, who could I contact at EHX to find out? I understand about the regulators getting too hot, just trying to find out if this is an actual problem on the Memory Toy. To compare, the Carbon Copy is listed at 9V as well, but I contacted Dunlop, and they said there is no problem running it at 18V.
