Memory Delay (Mono, Stereo)

The Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man is an analog delay and modulation pedal renowned for its warm, lush echo and chorus/vibrato effects. Utilizing bucket-brigade device (BBD) technology, it delivers up to 550ms of delay time with rich, musical repeats and a distinctive, organic character. The pedal features controls for blend, delay, feedback, level, chorus/vibrato depth, and rate, allowing for a wide range of ambient textures and classic tape-like delay sounds. Its robust build and signature sound have made it a staple for guitarists seeking vintage-inspired delay and modulation.
