For soldiers, who interested as me, what is inside of subj.

And device is not such crap as memory boy (I have guts of both), don't need a warm up for 20 seconds, etc

Almost identical to carbon copy

afaik, carbon uses 2x bl3208 (4096 stages), ehx 4x (8192 stages, like DMM)

P.S. Thanx to Flexeus for photos.

Looks like an excellent excuse to get rid of my Boss DD6 and possibly even make a profit.

Carbon copy use 4x bl3208A too. Check the pictures. There are 2 hidden IC's under the left pot.

Wow, impressive......

What is that black round thingie on the first pics? A knob?

DWBH · Post by **DWBH** » 11 Oct 2009, 13:47

I think it's a knob to control modulation depth.

guiddruid · Post by **guiddruid** » 11 Oct 2009, 14:44

is it not just a rubber foot, to hold the pcb i place? Mod depth = trim8???

Is there an adjustment for Mod Rate? That's something that I think is missing from all the Memory Man variations I've seen. Wouldn't it be great to be able to adjust the frequency, so it's more like a full Chorus effect?

I agree......why there is no little controll for that?

I just bought broken memory toy whitch i didn't realised was broken.
It turns on but i can't get any delay of it and when the blend pot is on the max i can't get any sound at all.

Are there any known ways to fix it?
It was bought as used so i can't really resend it and the last delay i bought was broken too.

Some weeks ago I got one for repair and this thing have a huge POP when engaged

then in the amp goes...POP, POP, POP

Is the BBD Daughterboard pushed in properly? Could have come loose in transit.

My Memory Toy is alive.
It appears that it's very picky when it comes to power supplies

.
It needs a "stabilized power supply" with a compensated zener diode.
I don't know if such a power supply has a special name in english but hey -
I bought one i I've got one less thing to worry about.

Scruffie · Post by **Scruffie** » 27 Nov 2011, 01:17

I just got one of these in a trade, I notice the second board design has changed mine is now connected via one 4-pin and one Ribbon Cable, it's damn hard to remove.

And now to my next point, I traded for it with a broken feedback pot, it had been a while since i'd used delay and I figured i'd manage without... but I need it, does anyone know where I can find a 12mm Board Mounting Knurled/Split Shaft Pot? I've e-mailed EHX but i've heard there customer support is sometimes not the best.

I've got a memory toy and was messing around with the innards and found out how to control the LFO of the modulation.
In the upper left corner of the PCB facing you when the pedal is open there is an IC. Directly under it is a resistor labelled R70, that's the one to change. I experimented by placing a 1M pot wired as a variable resistor across the two ends of the resistor and changing the pot resistance altered the speed of the LFO. My board was marked EC-D61 Rev.B for reference. Picture:
