Electro-Harmonix Memory Toy Analog Echo and Chorus Guitar Effects Pedal

not a very flexible pedal. does not work well for a crisp slapback. I could only get it to sound good playing super slow spacey chords which is pretty limited. the modulation is very slow out of the box, you can't adjust the depth and you can only adjust the speed with an internal trimpot which again is limiting. this could be a good pedal for very specific spacey ambient type of music, used as a set it and forget it if you have other delays you use

Just purchased this and I am very happy with it. I have owned DM2's, Digital Delays, and a Fab Echo. DM2's were great but just bought them to sell. Compared this to the Carbon Copy,and the TC Flashback. Carbon Copy sounds like a digital pedal to me. Did not like. The Flashback is very warm but did not need extra features.Just knowing my habits I need something very simple and intuitive.Bought this pedal knowing I would take it and trade it for the Flashback if I didn't like it once I got home. I will be keeping it. It sounds great

I bought this pedal brand new, and liked it. The controls are simple and effective. No tap tempo or anything fancy. I was getting an annoying "SNAP" every time I turned the effect on or off. The snap would echo since it's a delay pedal. I had the GC 30 day warranty, so I got a another EHX Memory Toy. The second pedal didn't snap as bad, but I've noticed some "Grainy" noises in the actual delays. It helps if you turn the BLEND down, which diminishes the delay effect. I can live with this pedal, but it's not my favorite because of these issues. I've read that some Memory Toys stopped working just after a few months. So far that hasn't happened to me, but I don't abuse it at all. I don't gig with it, or take it on the road. I just play it at home. They seem to be kinda fragile in the inside, and the MOD switch is dangerously close to the toggle switch. I'd suggest getting GC's Pro Coverage if you're planning on abusing this pedal, or get a Boss DD3. Boss pedals seem to withstand almost anything. I love the organic feel that analog provides in a delay, and the Memory Toy does that. It might die on you in the long run though. I'd suggest paying extra on something flawless that you know will last you a long time.

I love everything about the pedal. NOW. When I recieved it, the chorus feature was virtually useless, it was a seasick warble that only got worse with adjustments. Luckily, there are pages on the web that address this issue. Inside are tonepots that are adjustable. T8 which is the tiny screw at the very top requires just a 1/16 of a turn to even out, and mellow the chorus to a usable sound. Once done, it's a fantastic pedal. For the money, none are simpler, none are better. It's built like an Abrams tank and is intuitive right from the start.

This pedal is outstanding! On board I also have a Carbon Copy and a DL-4. This pedal wins! The controls are simple and easy to use. It can give you a nice slap back or a nice filling sound to your solo. It will do anything you need it to. My only complaint (Which isn't that important to me anyway) is that I cant hear the Chorus, but to me that doesn't matter because I'm not to huge of a chorus fan. This pedal tone wise killed my carbon copy. No matter how loud I had my amp or any of the neighboring pedals this pedal kept its tone. Compared to the DL-4 (Just the basic delay not counting all of the other frills that the DL-4 has) This pedal also won. For the price there is not a better analog pedal!! This is a must buy for any guitar player that uses delay over most of their playing!

Its a great pedal sounds Really good. Pretty inexpensive. Would recommend this over the carbon copy.
