and no one does analog like the Deluxe Memory Man! Up to 550ms of vibrant echo that rivals tape delay; lush, spatial chorus and haunting vibrato are just a few of the treats in the Memory Man's sonic schmorgasbord! Analog warmth that renders digital delay obsolete Memory Man echo with chorus/vibrato!
seconds of loop time, all in true stereo! Featuring tap tempo, vintage tape echo filtering, and eight programmable presets... it?s got all the Hazarai. Designed for the performing musician and destined to be one of the most creative tools on your pedalboard.
Advantages: Nice analogue sound very suited to any electric instrument. Disadvantages: Big and possibly outdated as the new ones look AWESOME
...Here we have the reissue MemoryMan with the addition of modulation effects which are a bit like chorus or gentle flanging.
This pedal is so much fun it should come with free earplugs and a health warning.
If you are looking for a delay pedal this is probably not what you know as delay. Digital delay has a very precise clinical feel to it and delay times are often in excess of 2 seconds.
This pedal probably has delay times of just under a second which for an analogue device is a very long time. It uses the bucket brigade principle of passing signal through a series of chips which hold the signal as they charge before sending it to the output. This means more of an 'old skool' feel as the sound acquires a kind of warmth. A good simile would be the difference between CD and magnetic tape sound quality between the source sound...

Advantages: Authentic fuzz Disadvantages: not too sturdy
...Everyone who's anyone has a Big Muff. I hung on till Electro-Harmonix reissued the 70s USA Muff. It's meant to sound better than the previous Sovtek version (I haven't had a chance to compare them yet), but its probably the coolest looking stompbox that will ever grace my pedalboard.
As with all the Electro-Harmonix pedals, it comes in a quality wooden box (although it's a bit too big, and my Muff rattles around in it). Having paid £65 for it, I was expecting quite a lot (that's a lot to pay for a distortion when everybody has this effect on their amp).
With the sustain (gain) control turned up all the way, I set the level so it matched my clean channel, and fiddled around with the tone control. Personally, I bought the Big Muff for its low, muddy, rumbly fuzz. And, oh my God, does it rumble! With virtually any guitar and amp you can...

Tiny copy Review ofElectroHarmonix Small Cloneby
godspeed
Advantages: Easy to get really good tone out of it Disadvantages: Quite pricey, not very versatile
...The currently available Small Clone is a reissue of the 70s Electro-Harmonix chorus pedal. The external casing is virtually identical to the original, except for one different logo, labelled as the EH 4600 Full-Chorus, rather than the Mini-Chorus. I don't know how much of the electronics have been kept, either.
If you read my other opinions, you will probably see that I'm a fan of Kurt Cobain, and many of my guitar effects purchases have been based on his "recommendation". Kurt used a Small Clone for chorus effects from the Nevermind era and particularly on In Utero, although he did get a Electro-Harmonix PolyChorus, but preffered the simpler stomp box.
The Small Clone is SOOOoooo simple. You get one knob, for the rate of chorusing, and one little slider switch for depth. And of course a plain footswitch for on/off switching. When you...
