CONTEST IS CLOSED

Wow! I’m super excited with this give away. I know a lot of people are wanting this pedal, and this is your chance to own it for FREE!

I was able to talk with Brad at Tone Factor to see if he would be interested in sponsoring another give away (He put up the Mojo Hand Sugar Baby last Fall and that was a great give away as well). I was pleased to hear that he was into it. I asked what pedal he would like to give up for the pedal give away, and the Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Boy came up, so here we go!

Here is the official description of the Electro Harmonix Delux Memory Boy:

The Deluxe Memory Boy is the newest member of the iconic Memory Man family. It carries on the family tradition with new performance aspects that give it unique power and metronomic definition.

Quality IC’s deliver warm and organic tones while the new Tap tempo allows you to always be in perfect sync with the groove. Choose from five note divisions for metronomic variance while staying in sync and always on the mark. The added EFX loop integrates your pedals to follow the groove with tonal dexterity .Use an expression pedal to control your modulations for performance flexibility. The Deluxe Memory Boy is slick, smart and always on time.

Features:

Pure analog IC’s
Tap Tempo with footswitch control
5 selectable note subdivisions
EFX loop
Expression pedal with multiple functions
Multi waveform modulation

I’ve been liking these new delays that EHX has been putting out (Memory Toy, Memory Boy, etc), and they just recently released the Deluxe Memory Boy Delay. This pedal is quite powerful and versatile, and really takes the Memory Boy to the next level.  So what’s different in the Deluxe Memory Boy? First off, you have additional controls. There is Gain, Rate and Delay that are not found in the vanilla boy. You also have tap tempo ability, with tap division settings. Both pedals have the expression pedal input, but the deluxe has expression mode, allowing you to apply the expression pedal to Rate, Depth, Feedback or Delay. The Deluxe also has a built in effects loop.

Here is the official description of the pedal:

The Electro-Harmonix Memory Boy is a smooth analog delay that takes its heritage from the 1970s Memory Man and the legendary Deluxe Memory Man. The Memory Boy uses the Deluxe Memory Man as a base, expanding upon it with additional modulation features and an optional expression pedal input for external control over delay time or modulation rate.

Memory Boy features a 550ms delay time, allowing you to explore limitless textures. A three-way toggle switch lets you add in vibrato or chorus, or control the delay time with an external expression pedal.

Since the early 1970′s, Electro-Harmonix has been designing analog delays featured on some of the greatest recordings and used by iconic musicians throughout the world. From the original Memory Man guitar pedal to the Deluxe Memory Man, still available today, EHX delay pedals are desired instruments for the organic tones that deliver textures that define quality.

Electro-Harmonix Memory Boy Delay Guitar Effects Pedal Features:

* All analog delay with Feedback
* Up to 550ms delay time
* Selectable Chorus or Vibrato modulations rates
* Choose between triangle or square modulation waveforms
* Expression pedal control of delay time or modulation rate (expression pedal extends the range of modulation rate)
* True Bypass

I found this great video by EHX demoing this pedal:

This morning while checking my Twitter account, I saw a reply by @AntonOortmann asking me if I already noticed the rumor about the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Boy pedal. That was interesting because just yesterday I saw mention of it, but thought it was a typo misprint. After seeing @AntonOortmann‘s reply, I thought I’d dig further.

Looks like the rumors are true, that Electro-Harmonix will be releasing this pedal in the future, and is already in their print catalog. Here is a screen snap of the page:

This is pretty exciting. The item that caught my eye is the tap tempo delay and effects loop. Should be a great pedal. I’ll be sure to post more once I find out more!
