Nothing can compare to the organic sound of analog delay, and no one does analog like the electro-harmonix Memory Man! The Electro-Harmonix Deluxe memory Man provides up to 550ms of vibrant echo that rivals tape delay. Lush, spatial chorus and haunting vibrato are just a few of the treats in the Memory Man's sonic schmorgasbord! Analog warmth that renders digital delay obsolete - the Deluxe Memory Man echo with chorus/vibrato!

Electro-Harmonix XO Series Deluxe Memory Man at a Glance:


Easy operation and direct out jack


Vary the signal mix with Blend control


Create pitch-shift effects by changing delay rate


Chorus/vibrato control





Easy operation and direct out jack


The bypass footswitch on top of the Deluxe Memory Man allows you to switch the effect in and out. Unmodified signal is always available at the direct out jack. The Deluxe memory Man features a level control with an overload led that blinks on with the loudest notes you play in order to prevent overdriving the Deluxe Memory Man. Overdriving the Memory Man will cause distortion.





Vary the signal mix with Blend control


The Memory Man's blend control allows you to vary the mix of direct and delayed signals. The center position provides equal levels of both. Feedback provides delay repeats, or multiple echoes. Fairly high feedback with short delay settings produces a reverb effect.





Create pitch-shift effects by changing delay rate


The Memory Man's delay control determines the time between direct and delayed signals, and between the repeats when feedback is used. Strange, eerie and unusual pitch-shift effects can be produced by changing the delay while playing, especially while using feedback.





Chorus/vibrato control


The chorus/vibrato control of the Deluxe Memory Man introduces a modulation in the delay time: slow for chorus, faster for vibrato. This produces a "doppler" pitch shifting in the delayed signal. A rich, vibrant chorus effect is produced with the switch set to chorus, delay fairly short, blend at the center, chorus set high, and feedback fairly high.
