EHX Deluxe Memory Man vs Memory Boy 1/2

[cozmovox]

You can hear in the video why the MM is more expensive than a MB.

The MB is the low-fi version of the MM

and  doesn't reflect high frequencies that much.

I'm a fan of that dirty old tape delay sound and I prefer the BOY.

If you are a fan of that chorus/vibrato modulation thing the MAN might be

for you . Nothing in the world touches that sound. Not even a MB

[madeyes4u]

Fuck why does the Memory Man have to be $315...jesus

[rosecigar]

buy both. no boss.

[dewaldjohan]

how effective is the low cut mode? would that help making the dmb sound a bit more similar to the memory man

[RonnieHornschuh]

The DMM is a little better, but is he 150€ better than the MM?

[tossturn]

in my opinion memory boy sounds better !!

[jotakabe13]

It sounds like perhaps the blend knob on the memory man was a little higher than the memory boy, but this is a good comparison. Bought the MB today!

[thomaslaubach]

Perfekt, thanks for the Vs. you help me very well!

[MorriconeIsland]

DMM clearly sounds better, but if you're getting your first delay DMB is the way to go. As far as the cost goes, get a DMM instead of a Carbon Copy and you don't need a chorus pedal. The DMM might cost more but the functionality is like three pedals in one. I just added one to a simple Big Muff/Loop Station set-up and I don't plan to spend any more money on effects

[qwert123c]

This is a first video witch shows normal sound of memory boy not only crazy sounds with modulation all the way up. Great man !

[Zeonoid]

I like boy's sound more

[jrs01ka]

its close but the memory man is warmer sounding.

[bobdeeguitar]

The "tail" of the effect of the MB is sort of strange and dark (it's the one thing that bothered me most when I demoed it at store). And the MB seems a bit brighter pre-effect (is that because it's not true bypass?--anyone know?). BUT, I love the fact that I can plug in an exp pedal--why can't MM do that? Overall, i'd say the MM is a better quality sound. Thanks for the A/B demo, man. peace

[omegalen]

@bobdeeguitar The MB IS true bypass.

[Seishinbunretsusho]

I rather prefer the Memory Boy, it sounded a bit more jangly.

Please don't shoot me...

[krunkdotexe]

Less dark=brighter.

[liamscokedealer]

Dave navarro is one of my favourite guitar players ever. janes addiction are so much better than the Red Hot Chili Peppers its not fair

[fiumax494]

Sounds like the MMD has more 'flesh' and gives more space and clarity ..

i wonder if the new XO version sound as good as that fat beast ..

[Ilovemyfender2]

That is a killer board you got there

[thehasslessydney]

i have the hazarai and simon has the dd20 they both sound pretty cool, you know, whatever you want

[VideoVeneer]

Thanks for the demo.

I really wanted the Memory Boy to deliver the goods, but as many of the posters have said, the DMM just sounds better to me. Of course, at such a reasonable price, the MB is probably a fine choice for a portable "live" pedal board. I'll probably end up with both units...

Now, if someone would just A/B the DMM with the DMM XO version, we'd know where we stood with all of these "Memory Dudes" :>)

[kidA61]

Brilliant demo! But it's obvious for me that the sounds coming out of the Memory Man have more "flesh". It sounds better.

you get what you pay for.

[xXchr15t0ph3rXx]

that modulation sucks, well it's sounds better on the toy. with the trem it's better though.

I like the toy better.

great riffs man

[maxbouvrie]

sounds great!

[PhilsenLasVegas]

I quite like the Memory Boy, but the Deluxe Memory is still king in my book. Well worth the extra money and pedal board space.

[jenzranch]

tnx!

[ghaibboy]

thanks for posting man ! :)

[TacooGrill]

i really want a classic memory man but those are going extinct due to the xo series!

[wildpinkhorse]

Memory Man rules! Too bad it cost more than twice what a Memory Boy goes for

[uberamps]

the memory man sounds fuller and warmer to my ears. probably the higher voltage...

[co33a]

Thanks for showing the Memory Boy using sensible settings. I never knew the vibrato could be so useable as well as chorus.

[georgelrg]

Just a Pair of weeks go from getting my Memory Boy. Can´t wait!!!!

[strabbs1]

how about a video showing how to adjust the trim pots, i dont even know wot one is so a vid would be good

[Vinniemelodyssey]

Cool demo man.... Some of my fave songs in there too.

u2, radiohead, Rhcp, Alice In Chains.....

Well done mate.....

[TheDriveMaster]

Superb my good friend! Amazing review... Thanks!

[musicman7478]

Some of those people ARE dweebs aren't they? haha.  It's cool that you Radiohead by the way.

[drummerpaul]

The exact shootout I was looking for! Thanks! (btw, I love the Navarro Peppers)

[TPsynth]

The Boy sounds a little brighter

[strabbs1]

[strabbs1]

[PumpkinPieces33]
