yes it is, it is mesa’s 40th anniversary so they did a special run of 75, the first are sapele mahogany and the other 55 they made of french flamed walnut, all the woods used were “precious grade” private reserve woods that are extremely rare. you could only get this wood for this run. you just cant order it from the custom shop even if you have the cash

paua abalone and mother of pearl inlay, there is another similar inlay inside it, hand signed by Randal Smith they are sequantialy numbered so it goes 1 of 75, 2 of 75 exc

I was looking at buying a private reserve cab and the guy asked me if i had heard about the limited editions and i said yes but assumed it was thousands more

it ended up being 350 Canadian more………SOLD!!!!!!!!!

they kept the 20 sapele mahogany and 20 of the flamed walnut for the usa, the store actually had two and let me take my pick!! here are only 35 in world outside of the usa an di got to pick from two.

i had bought it at the end of october but i had to wait two monthes before it was build and another half a month for them to get it up from california,the store had two on order and i was the first to pick mine up, i drove 800 km to this store. only certain stores could order them

in the end i got the memory boy and it hs helped me find some beautiful sounds but I may get the hazarai yet for all the things it does

I have bought a few more pedals too, now I have a metal muff with three band eq,graphic fuzz xo,nano small stone,memory boy and I have an order comming from musiciansfriend that has a lpb-1 and three of the ehx ac adapters for the lpb1,the stone and the mm(the other two came with them), so I dont have to deal with batteries and can use the power supply the pedal was designed to use all running into a nice surge bar that I also plug my amps into. im going to build a nice board with lighting

I also got nailed by the stupid deal of the day…damn impulse buys!, they had the coffin case blood drive for 39.99 ,I had the other stuff in my cart but did not want to make an order with just that(shipping to canada is like 32 bucks us). I read some good things about it, I figured for 40 bucks I would gamble on it…..any one here ever use one? what did you think if so? I had seen it several times but dismissed it as a gimmic looking distortion pedal but once i read a bit about it it it seemed like it could bre a nice overdrive………I will save for a fulltone ocd if im not happy

I thought i had made up my mind but I am still thinking about so many things. I think I am just going to have to go and hear one for myself or my mind will never rest. I am virtually deadlocked

the dmm with Has seems like a great value considering all the other effects it has, and seeing as I am starting from scratch in the pedal department it might save me a lot in other effects and seems like a grat value in that regard…….but if they dont sound as nice as the analog cousins do then i feel so wrong,like its setteling for less than I could get if i had spent the extra money and got the best sounding pedals in there dedicated boxes (fox example a Classics Stereo Polychorus Analog Flange / Chorus Guitar Effects Pedal or a deluxe electric mistress)

I dont think i should count out the memory boy too fast. it is a great price and has some cool new options and I have heard some high def videos (I know not ideal by a long shot) it also seams MUCH more user friendly that the smm haz

I have decided agaisnt the dmm xo, if im going to spend that much on the non hazarai im going to buy the old model of the classic deluxe memory man because I KNOW it gets the sound i crave

I am just going to have to decide for myself, you guys have given me all the info i need to make an informed decision.I just have to prioritize what is the most important.there are so many aspects to consider

I wish i had NEVER seen the video that David Gilmour uses a boss de7 delay now for his stage pedalboard…..I mean if its good enough for him who am I to say different.I mean he is the king of tone to me (I am well aware that just buying a pedal is not going to make me sound like david gilmours tone)

so frustrating

does the Hazarai have the same warm sound as the old deluxe memory man analog. I am absolutely in love with the sound of the analog

I understand that the Haz is so much more than just a delay and with its looper capabilities and everything else it does……..but it HAS to have that analog sound. mabye I am just paranoid. I would go and test them out but i live hundreds of kilometers from the closest guitar shop . but i trust your opinions and they are very much apreciated
