    Post the full voltages for the 741, SAD1024 and 4558.

    3.6 – 7.2V was just what was stated on the schematic, that may have been under certain set up procedures, it’s moving which is the main thing :)

    I misread your post, I thought you meant in filter matrix mode it would flange as you turned the rate pot so yes it’s possible the pot is the issue.

    So you checked the switch for continuity? It may just be a loose solder joint, seems you’re going in the right direction though.

    You can check while in flanger mode if you have moving voltage on Pin 5 of the 324, that would mean the LFO is reaching the range pot and if stops moving at pin 7, may well be the range pot.

    Check pin 8 of the LM324, it should swing between 3.6 & 7.2V on your multimeter.

    Possible the switch is bad.

    Seems my guess was correct and EHX did not disappoint.

    Given the Digitech Whammy & The Drop and the EHX Slammi and that there’s no indicator display on it, I think my guess is close and it’s not a tuner ;)

    The knob is a rotary, can see text around the outside and while it’s tricky to tell I think the second knob is labelled blend (something the Digitech Drop was definitely missing).

    Possibly a ring modulator or harmonizer though.

    …but someone should definitely make a Wurzels signature pedal.

    I never mentioned modern deluxe memory man’s, only modern mistresses.

    The XO Deluxe Memory Man uses MN3008, The Tap Tempo Memory Man 550 uses MN3008, the Tap Tempo 1100 uses MN3005.

    Earlier Big Box reissue Deluxe Memory Man delays used either 2 x MN3005 or 4 x 3008, all vintage 5 knob Deluxe Memory Man’s used 2 x MN3005, vintage 4 knob used 4 x SAD1024, vintage memory man with boost switch used 3 x SAD1024, vintage memory man echo/chorus with boost input used 1 x MN3005 both Vintage & Reissue Big Box Stereo Memory Man’s (not the unrelated Hazarai model) used 1 x MN3005.

    The Stereo Memory Man w/ Hazarai is digital and no relation to the memory man line other than in name.

    No the Small Clone uses the MN3007, Memory Man XO the MN3008 (same line of chips, twice the stages but the specs aren’t identical) vintage Electric Mistress use the SAD1024, the modern deluxe the R5106 (the Neo & Stereo are digital).

    The delay chip doesn’t really have much effect on the sound though in the scheme of things, the LFO,VCO,Clock Range & Filtering are what determine the sound and those 3 effects are completely different designs.

    The moving numbers are fine, that’s the LFO. What’s wrong is that none of the BBDs are showing any bias voltage… apart from U6 which has 14V on pin 7 and U3 pins 1,2&3, which is the opamp feeding that BBD are all basically shorted so i’d start digging around there…

    Great! :) First thing to do, plug it in, power up and take voltage readings on every chip (black lead to a ground point such as the enclosure, set on the 20V range and use the red lead to probe) you measure the pins in this order with the tab, notch or dot indicating the top of the chip (if the chip has a notch and a dot, go by the notch) http://www.remotefactory.com/images/8-pin-dip.png post them up and i’ll check them.

    Awesome! I will check them today. I really appreciate the help it’s vey kind of you. We had a faulty dryer go south on us yesterday with a gas leak otherwise I would have already got the readings.

    Sorry to hear about that, hope you get it sorted soon!

    Just remembered that the DMM is actually positive ground so put the red lead to ground and probe with the black one, sorry about that.

    First off, many of the BBD chips you’ll find on ebay are fakes, if you want a reliable supplier try smallbearelec.com
    The numbers under the chip are the batch code, you can ignore them.

    There is no reason for the delay chip(s) to be dead, in fact they rarely die at all it usually one of the other parts that has gone, people wrongly assume it’s the BBD as it’s the most expensive/rarest part.

    A Memory Man is a large pedal to debug if you have no prior experience, it could be many problems, you can send it to a tech or get a multimeter and the schematic if you’re determined to fix it your self, certainly can be done but you’ll have to put the work in.

    Ah okay thanks for the good info! I have a multimeter and am In no rush so I will see what I can find.

    Looks like this thread is about 4 years old I hope I can still get a reply. I been having similar problems with my MMD, power comes on when switch is flipped but no effect. I was thinking back to when I was using the pedal when I was younger I may have just plugged it into my power block with my other pedals (I didn’t know any better at the time). I recently read that doing that can mess up the MMD. So I been taking it apart and trying to diagnose the issue nothing looks burnt and everything looks like a solid connection, can anyone tell me where I should check first?

    After reading a few threads I figure it could just be the delay chips. I found some but unsure if they are what I need. my unit uses 4 mn3008’s and underneath the [strong]MN3008[/strong] is [strong]0.0[/strong] I see a good amount on eBay but under the Mn3008 are other random numbers what do those number mean and would they still work? I hope to hear from someone soon thought it would be best to post in here before starting a new thread. Thanks!

    Input is the green wire running to the 100k on the toggle switch, the input to the circuit is on the toggle.

    Output is the yellow wire already running to the footswitch you have there.

    I can’t work out where the missing toggle wire goes from the schematic without tracing it, the board doesn’t seem to quite match up to it.

    The pictures at that resolution are next to useless…

    But, looking at the schematic anyway, the output will be one of the legs of that big green cap (should say either 100nF or 104 on it) it will be the leg that connects to a 270k resistor (colour code red, violet, yellow).

    The input… can connect to one of the legs of the colour switch or may be on board, are there 6 wires connected to the switch? It looks like 1 or 2 are missing.

    If you can host the original photos (assuming they’re of decent quality) and link to them that’d be helpful as then I can trace and mark the board for you.

    I don’t know if it’s the forum or my browser but that image is tiny (after enlarging the thumbnail) also need a shot of the top of the board.

    Post pictures of your board, should be easy enough to spot where things go with the schematic in hand.

    Unless you can read schematics in which case you can find it by searching google.
