UTILIZATION
Simple configuration can be set (in the ear) the number of repetitions, speed of onset, and the signal ratio dry / wet signal. Hard to talk about "dry" in truth because the "buffer" the pedal to affect the sound: turn the road in 100% dry and your sound mode changes, there is a small boost and a change in the EQ.
A small inverter adds a chorus effect (perhaps inspired by the classic Memory Man and surely made to mimic the "flutter" of tape delays - that is to say, the slight variations in the pitch of the note in rehearsals, due to the heterogeneous movement of the tape).
The set is very instinctive, which is more to my liking ... As against the buttons being small, slight movement is enough to not move the wrong knob (this is a physical principle
) so fine adjustments are precise and ultra hard to get (no tap tempo here ...), they be patient or fuck in a bit.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound is NOT clear and repetitions are not faithful reproductions of the original guitar signal. This is not a judgment of taste, but all know before you buy. This pedal is used, in a small and a modest price format, to have a warm delay, which defaults to the charm.
NOTE: the arrival of the repetition is accompanied by breath. That means if you put the time of the longest possible delay: when repeating sounds, adds a small breath then goes slowly, "fade out".
Personally, I love this little delay unpretentious, a bit "lo-fi" on the edges, but effective and easy to use.
Its strong point in my opinion is the "slapback", that is to say, a repetition of a short time, typical rock'n'roll, 1950-60.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it on stage, a lot! For three years I think. I tried the Memory Boy and I preferred the little brother (the two have nothing to do anyway ...).
I have a venerable Roland RE-201 (Space Echo) magnetic tape (which now needs repair). A real tape echo unit, this is great but in my opinion it is for the studio, unless you ais a tour bus or a mad desire to wrestle you 10kg unit in addition to your amp and your guitars.
So now, the Memory Toy is incomparable to the previous example, but for now, for me, he did his job for small scenes and aged very well (it's solid, no frills, all the EHX spit).
