STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI
Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Stereo Memory Man with
Hazarai. The Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai (SMMH) is a digital delay pedal with three
different types of echoes and a full-fledged looper all of which work in true stereo.
Special Features of the Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai:
• Up to 3 seconds of delay time.
• Up to 30 seconds of loop time.
• Tap Tempo Footswitch allows you to set the delay time with your foot.
• Multi-Tap delay allows you to set the exact number of echo repeats.
• A full-featured looper gives you the ability to record a loop of exactly what you
are hearing at anytime, set to any length up to 30 seconds.
• Record overdubs over your loop at anytime.
• Loop mode allows you to reverse the loop, change just the tempo or change
both pitch and tempo.
• Reverse Echo is an intelligent reverse delay that monitors your picking to create
optimal reverse delays of the notes you play.
• Multi-Tap plus Reverse allows you to use a straight echo and also have a
Footswitch controlled reverse effect.
• Echo + Mod gives you delay modulation where the user controls the total
amount of modulation.
• A Low Pass or High Pass filter is always available to process the delayed or
looped signals.
• Save and load up to 8 presets: 1 preset for each different mode.
• Mono In to Stereo Out creates a ping-pong effect where the echoes bounce
between the two outputs.
WARNING: Use only the US96DC-200BI adapter that the Stereo Memory
Man w/ Hazarai comes supplied with.
Do not use any other AC adapters.
Using other AC adapters, even those made by Electro-Harmonix, could cause
harm to the unit, the adapter or you. The SMMH does not use batteries.

- QUICK START GUIDE -
Basic Digital Delay/Echo Using TAP Tempo
1. Connect the output plug from the AC Adapter to the 9V jack at the top of the
Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai. Plug the AC Adapter into a wall outlet.
2. Plug your instrument into the MONO/Left Input Jack.
3. Plug your amp into the MONO/Left Output Jack.
4. Press the BYPASS footswitch so the STATUS LED is on
5. Turn the HAZARAI knob so that the top LED is lit: ECHO-3 SEC.
6. Turn the following knobs to 50% or 12 o’clock: BLEND, FILTER and REPEATS.
7. Turn the DECAY knob fully counter-clockwise.
8. Tap in a delay time by pressing and releasing the TAP Footswitch at least two
times. The time between the taps will be your delay time.
9. To change delay time, either tap in a new time or turn the DELAY knob.
Add Filtering To Your Basic Digital Delay/Echo
10. After setting your delay in the above Quick Start section, begin to turn the
FILTER knob counter-clockwise to the 9 o’clock position, you will hear a
reduction in the treble or high frequency content of your echoes. There will be
less treble with each repeat.
11. Now turn the FILTER knob clockwise, passed the center point to the 3 o’clock
position. The echoes will now go through a high pass filter so the bass or low
frequency content of the echoes will be reduced.
Add Reverb To Your BASIC Digital Delay/Echo
12. Return the FILTER knob to the 12 o’clock position.
13. Now turn the DECAY knob up to 3 o’clock. The repeats of you delay are smeared
to produce a reverberant sound.
14. Now try turning the REPEATS and DELAY knobs down to their counter-clockwise
positions, this will yield a more straight-forward reverb effect.
