Description
Don’t let the name fool you — the Memory Toy is a serious analog delay built for players who want their repeats to sound like tape and dirt, not digital math. Electro-Harmonix leans on their deep bench of analog know-how here, running your signal through a bucket-brigade circuit that softens and darkens each repeat naturally, the way analog delay always has. Dial in anything from a tight slapback to a spacious 550ms wash, then use the Feedback control to push repeats into self-oscillating, ambient territory or keep them short and rhythmic.
Flip the Modulation switch and the delay line gets a gentle chorus-like wobble baked into the repeats — great for thickening single notes, adding movement to ambient swells, or just taking the edge off a dry, static delay line. It’s a one-knob-away bonus rather than a separate effect, so you’re not hunting through menus to get there.
On the board, the Memory Toy sits comfortably after your overdrive and modulation pedals, right where a time-based effect belongs, feeding a clean amp or the front end of a second delay for layered textures. It plays well as a stand-alone slapback machine too, adding depth without smearing your dry signal.
- All-analog delay circuit with Feedback control
- Up to 550ms of delay time
- Modulation switch for built-in chorus-style movement

If you want delay that breathes and darkens like the analog pedals of decades past, the Memory Toy delivers that character without asking you to hunt down a vintage unit.
