Congratulations on your purchase of the Nano Deluxe Memory Man.
Since its introduction in 1978, the Deluxe Memory Man has been
used on countless recordings and has become the gold standard
analog delay with its warm, pristine tone and reliable, musical
performance. This nano version of the Deluxe Memory Man is a
reissue of the original Deluxe Memory Man, with a few added features
for modern players.
Features Include:
t Added control over modulation with the addition of a Rate knob
t Internal switch to enable tails or true bypass
t High input impedance to preserve your guitar’s tone
t Powered from standard 9VDC, center-negative power supplies
t More compact, pedal-board friendly footprint
WARNING: This device comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200 power sup-
ply. It requires 150mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. Use of the wrong adapter or
a plug with the wrong polarity may damage the device and void the warranty. Do not
exceed 12VDC on the power plug. Power supplies rated for less than 150mA will cause
the device to act unreliably.
