• Hands Down, best delay I've ever owned

  
  As reviewed by Nathan Raney on 10/1/2009

  So if you like a delay pedal with amazing tone and textures this is the pedal for you. Each mode can create a distinct sound and in the modulation setting even create chorus and flanger like effects. A smart reverse echo and the ability to fade an echo in makes this pedal amazing. I've owned this pedal and use it consistantly on stage and at home. The only downfall is the Hazarai knob because yes you do have to bend down and change the effect manually. Other than that this pedal has changed my perspective on delay pedals and what textures and sounds they can produce. I recommend this pedal to anyone, and I also RECOMMEND is to go to EHX.com and watch the demonstration for ideas on how to use the modulation, reverse delay, and the loop function. This is also an amazing loop pedal that is easy to use. Worth every penny and more.

• EH Memory Man with Hazarai

  
  As reviewed by Ian Perrin on 8/24/2010

  After having owned this pedal for a little over a year now, I can say that I am more than happy with what is currently the most expensive pedal on my board. At 220.00$'s, this is not the worlds cheapest delay by any means, however you do certainly get what you pay for. The Memory Man includes a plethora of great features such as tap tempo, 300ms delay, 3 second, 1 second, modulation delays and stereo input/output in a very rugged shell. The knobs are all built very solidly, are easy to use and very responsive, and the included preset selection really makes this the must have digital delay as far as features go. As great as this pedal is, there are some drawbacks. Obviously, the price is very steep which may ward away many potential buyers who are speculative of the digital delay market. I find that the more knobs a pedal has, the steeper the learning curve is on the pedal, and this is definitely the case with this particular one. It has taken me nearly a full year to unlock all the nifty little things you can do with this pedal, and ever longer to master it's ability to be used on stage. Unfortunately, the included reverse delay is almost useless unless you are incorporating both a dry and a wet signal as a very liberal amount of delay must be dialed in, in order for the reverse function to activate. I have never once bought a pedal for the looks of the shell and have never expected the finish to hold up for more than about a year of heavy gigging, however, the Memory Man has surprised me. The finish is as glowing and bright as the day I purchased the pedal. Being made of a bulky cast iron shell, this is a hefty pedal for sure. It's rubber feet very easily left their marks in my carpet from the weight of the pedal alone, which is another plus. Over all, this is the one and only digital delay pedal anyone should ever need.

• the EH Stereo Memory Man rocks!

  
  As reviewed by Marc Cooper on 3/20/2009

  This pedal is WONDERFUL. Full of great possibilities and sonically it rocks! Very deep yet I got it up and running in no time (1/2 hour) and did a gig the night I bought it and it went over like gangbusters. The controls work great, the looper is robust; I do wish it would loop a bit more seamlessly, small frustration with that. All the other features outweigh that 100 to 1. Once you turn off the delay switch the loop is still in it's memory, I find this such a great feature. Well worth the money! BY FAR....
