A Great Analog Delay — and a Whole Lot More!

The right pedal can be downright inspiring to play through, triggering your creativity in ways you never imagined. The Deluxe Memory Boy from Electro-Harmonix takes cues from its lineage (the Deluxe Memory Man has been a legend since its inception) but adds a few special touches to give it a voice all its own. One of the problems with many conventional delay pedals is that you often can't sync the delay with the tempo of the song. Not a problem with the Deluxe Memory Boy! Just tap in the right tempo, and you're off and running.

Want to add a bit of extra texture? Engage the modulation section and choose between square and triangle waves. The depth or rate can be controlled via the expression pedal input. And speaking of expressing yourself, you can use an expression pedal to control the amount of delay as well as the amount of feedback. If you're familiar with analog delays, you'll understand what an awesome creative tool having expressive control over the feedback circuit is, as you can instantly conjure spiraling feedback at your leisure.

But the Deluxe Memory Boy doesn't stop there! An FX loop lets you color only the delayed signal with an additional effects pedal. Let it sink in for a minute; imagine what you can do with that! Octave pedals, fuzz pedals, ring modulators — drop anything you want into the FX loop and add your signature style to your sound. The Deluxe Memory Boy does all this and more! Get one on your pedalboard today!

Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Boy Features at a Glance:
  • Tap tempo
  • Tap divide timing subdivisions
  • Expression pedal input for flexible control
  • Triangle- and square-wave modulation, with adjustable rate and depth for superior chorus, vibratos, and sweeps
  • Total analog bucket brigade design

Versatile Analog Delay

I use this both for guitar and synth. It's a great tool. Great build quality.
Rated 5/5

Feature packed!

The memory boy got plugged in through the effects loop on my fender deluxe. I"ve gotten the most subtle and delicate delays to some gnarly infinity feedback build up. The effects loop access can really color and shape your delay further. The expression pedal makes for some of the best control you didn"t think you needed on a delay pedal. With so much control, you think it was a digital delay if it wasn"t for the warm analog sound characteristics. Definitely more value than I thought I was getting.

Really versatile pedal

This thing is just great. So much parameter control in a reasonably sized package. Tap tempo + subdivision selection is super handy - simply tap the tempo and then select the subdivision you want the delay to be. Highly recommend you pick up an expression pedal to plug into this for additional on-the-fly parameter control. I pretty much just stick with the expression controlling the feedback for dynamic swelling, but modulating the other parameters can be fun too. The depth modulation and wet signal effects loop is just icing on the cake as it opens up all kinds of options for interesting sounds. A great buy.
Rated 5/5

Excellent pedal.

Really great pedal. Anything from adding slight atmosphere to your playing to huge ambient landscapes, this pedal does it all! The depth is the key to getting a fantastic sound out of it, as well as the rate.

Rated 5/5

Wonderful delay!

Incredible pedal for the price. The tap divide is so brilliant, and for under 200 bucks, definitely the best delay on the market for the money. Any other tap divide/modulation capable pedals with the amount of depth the Deluxe Memory Boy has are astronomically more expensive. So much fun to play with.

Nick Schenkel

The Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Boy is the answer to a prayer. It gives you CV or expression pedal control over either LFO Rate, LFO Depth and Shape, Feedback, or Delay Time. There's an effects loop that applies only to the regenerations. Also, if you hold down the "Exp Mode" button for three seconds, the "Rate" knob turns into a Cutoff control for a High Pass Filter on the regenerations. The delay is clean and smooth. Very nice tonality. At this pricepoint, this pedal is an unbelieveably good deal!
