Oh so awesome! Thanks a lot for this, you make a great job here! You rock
Arf, but differents sources says that it will be an OP AMP version… so I think it will be the true.
We got the chance to choose between 2 models, it’s a good thingQuote:Quote:Pictures of the 3rd issue bigmuff that corgan used on the machina tourActually, if you look closely, the Muff in those pictures is the same Muff pictured in the recent Blog. The scratches are all the identical (though the recent photo has a few more), especially the big chip in the red line above the letter M. “AC” is visible on the top, indicating this is a V3 or V4. You can see it if you alter the brightness and contrast of the photo, below.
You can also see Billy’s white tick marks showing the same settings as the knobs in his recent photo. The actual knobs in your pedal board photo are not set to those marks, but it looks like the board has not been set up completely yet either. But look closely at the tone knob, It’s almost at 12 o’clock. You can’t do that on a stock V3 since the tone pot is upside down. So from the two photos we have two pots that don’t jive with the V3 pot sweep, just the V4.
Interesting. Are you sure those photos are from the Machina tour? (EDIT – Never mind. I see Billy’s Cenobite skirt! It’s Machina)
So after your super post, we can say that Billy use a 77 Op AMP Big Muff. I’ve finded this message on a website:
There were only some 2000 of these circuits made; Billy Corgan has a couple, so you can hear them all over Smashing Pumpkins recordings.
Hi all, this is a little story of nothing about me and The Deluxe Memory Man
I always wanted to get the original Deluxe Memory Man but it was so expensive for me. The Deluxe Memory Man was like a dream: big box, big knobs and big sound… for the biggest guitarist.
The first time that I’ve really heard it (but principaly understand it) was during the french tour of Deep Purple. Steve Morse played an amazing strange/experimental solo with harmonic and feedback that beated my heart faster… so perfect. After search I’ve finded the way for make this sound 2 DMM in series.The second revelation was the song Club Foot by Kasabian… The song begin with “bell”, like Sonic Youth style, with an incredible depth in space. The sound is made with faster picking after the guitar bridge and of course with the Deluxe Memory Man. Listen to the song and immerse yourself in it.
Others incredible exemple that you can hear, are on U2 records or Dinosaur Jr records. The Edge, U2 guitarist, has played 2 Deluxe Memory Man since 25 years, and love make great stuff with it again in this time. Listen it, it’s an amazing process to get this sound
A little list of Deluxe Memory Man player’s

eric johnson
geordie walker of killing joke
j. mascis of Dinosaur Jr.
jeff trott with Sheryl Crow
kristin hersh of throwing muses
stewart braithwaite of mogwai
the edge of u2I’m very sad because I’ve dreamed to get the original Deluxe Memory Man, with the famous “Big” Electro Harmonix enclosure, one day. And my expectations are vanish.
But sound is sound so I’m sure that the new box will live up to its big sister and perhaps redifine the sound of music again and again.Electro Harmonix, every time, has rocked the world… so continue!
PS: Excuse of my bad american language, I try to make it perfect but it’s hard
PSS: A strange version of the Deluxe Memory Man… with purple letters
