Delays...Delays...Delays...

haha so fucking funny. ;)

[rotosphere99]

why is every fckng analog delay demo on YT with all clean tones throughout? it will be very helpfull if you run it with driven amp or od pedal in front just to see how repeats blend into each other... thanks for demos anyway. cheers

[iBigMelton]

toy or boy?! help me

[MaggaraMarine]

@nymetsrock Well, I think delay sounds the best in FX loop that means after OD. That's where people usually put it. It's much more clear sounding. When you have it before OD you get different kind of effect. It sounds like you were playing faster or there were many guitars playing. But when it's after OD the sound is more like delay. And when you have a lot of distortion a delay pedal before OD is very unclear. It's hard to hear the delay repeats. So I like it after distortion.

@MattTheLatt They sound very much alike but the memory boy offers more options with the modulation and the exp pedal input.

@gearmanndude I USE SHARK FINPICKS :) Favorite pick so far :) What gauge do you like to use?

[jerommeke340]

I was able to do the same with the memory toy, both are capable of that

[MattTheLatt]

i cant tell the difference betreen the two pedals

[fivethumbsfrank]

great demo thanks man.

[lukilenczyk]

Can i use this memory boy as a normal chorus??

[theShowStopper321]

@mbsunga I heard it has a boost when the mix is below noon.

[lookatthebluesky]

sorry guys, but this pedal is complete crap. sounds great but everyone seems to be having serious problems with it. mine worked for about 50 minutes, then it stopped working. if you wanna buy memory toy, then you should consider investing some more and buy memory boy, it seems to be designed way better. sorry ehx, but memory toy sucks big time.

[41224jason]

the toy seems quieter than the boy.

"Men, hello? Still there" jajajaja

awesome demo... i-m going to buy the memory boy right now...

[nymetsrock]

@JustGuitarr think of your last pedal in the chain as your amp, and the ones before it as the effects, do you want to dirty up your delay amp, or add a delay to an overdriven amp? i would go with overdrive last

[guitarplayer5293]

I love how they have Jack Black doing pedal reviews now!

[USPhotoRecon]

Jack black?



[JustGuitarr]

Should you put your delay before your overdrive pedals or after them?

[NegmaDeath]

@beeeastmaster U2 is delay

[smoothicus]

@beeeastmaster Because you almost HAVE to. The fingers can't help it! :)

[agentelectric]

what is the max delay time? true bypass? does this suck lot of tone?

[beeeastmaster]

GMD you love your Dr. Z like a Kangaroo loves it's young ones.

[beeeastmaster]

why does everyone have to bust into some dinky U2 riff when trying out a delay pedal?

[beeeastmaster]

enjoy your pedal reviews great job man!
