I tried both the Memory Toy and Memory Boy in Digital Village last weekend. The Boy had more modulation options all of which were quirky and essentially unusable except for making extreme noises. I am a musician and require something that is musical in nature. The Toy’s modulation was also extreme to the point of being unusable.

Why would you in a real live situation want a pitch shift up and down a semitone? – OK for experimenting with silly noises at home – but I grew out of that when I was 20 odd, now I play classic rock and blues, and neither of these pedals modulation would be of use in the real world.

The delay however was something else. Totally musical and warm. I have played with digital delays for the last 25 years and can’t believe what I was missing out on. Ultimately my decision was made based on the delay section of both. The Memory Toy had a much longer delay time than the Memory Boy and was cheaper. It was as though costs had been cut on the delay section of the memory boy to make way for all the modulation options, the extra controls, inputs and the inclusive power supply.

So I bought the Toy. It was a far superior pedal for the money. I later discovered that there is a trim pot inside that can be adjusted to mellow out the modulation amount. Now it is so subtle it is barely noticeable – just enough to sound like the natural flutter of a tape echo.

Perfect.

I was thinking about this before I came to the website

what about the 44 Magnum!

Basically 2 22 Calibres run as a stereo pair OR a mono bridged 44 watt amp.
Connections:

Input Send return L (mono) Return R
Speaker A Speaker B.

Controls
Volume Gain Treble Middle Bass.

Allowing the amp to be used as mono or Stereo would increase the versatility immensely and if it were to go into one of the larger style cases (Then there’s no reason why a few controls for eq and overdrive couldn’t be factored in.
