Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man Pedal Bundle w/6 FREE Cables The bypass footswitch on top of the Deluxe Memory Man allows you to switch the effect in and out. Unmodified signal is always available at the direct out jack. The Deluxe memory Man features a level control with an overload led that blinks on with the loudest notes you play in order to prevent overdriving the Deluxe Memory Man. Overdriving the Memory Man will cause distortion. The Memory Man's blend control allows you to vary the mix of direct and delayed signals. The center position provides equal levels of both. Feedback provides delay repeats, or multiple echoes. Fairly high feedback with short delay settings produces a reverb effect. The Memory Man's delay control determines the time between direct and delayed signals, and between the repeats when feedback is used. Strange, eerie and unusual pitch-shift effects can be produced by changing the delay while playing, especially while using feedback. The chorus/vibrato control of the Deluxe Memory Man introduces a modulation in the delay time: slow for chorus, faster for vibrato. This produces a "doppler" pitch shifting in the delayed signal. A rich, vibrant chorus effect is produced with the switch set to chorus, delay fairly short, blend at the center, chorus set high, and feedback fairly high. From the legendary riffs of Jimi Hendrix and George Clinton to the new-school licks of Slipknot and Korn, musicians have relied on Electro-Harmonix since the late '60s. Whether you crave the sustaining overdrive of the Big Muff Pi or the warm spring reverb of the hot new Holy Grail, Electro-Harmonix has a stompbox with your name on it.
