electro-harmonix Nano Deluxe Memory Man
Nano Analog Delay with Modulation
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
- Added control over modulation with the addition of a Rate knob
- Internal switch to enable tails or true bypass
- High input impedance to preserve your guitar’s tone
- Powered from standard 9VDC, center-negative power supplies
- More compact, pedal-board friendly footprint
WARNING: This device comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200 power supply. 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.
Operating Instructions
Connect your guitar to the INPUT jack on the Nano Deluxe Memory Man (Nano DMM) and the OUTPUT jack to your amp’s input. Plug in the included power supply and insert its output plug into the power jack. Press the footswitch to ensure the STATUS LED is lit, now your Nano DMM is ready to go. Have fun experimenting with the Nano DMM and other effects pedals to develop your own unique sound.
Controls and Connections
-
DELAY Knob Sets delay time from 30ms to 550ms. As DELAY is turned clockwise, the delay time increases. Turning the DELAY knob while playing can produce strange, eerie and unusual pitch-shift effects, especially with FEEDBACK set above noon. Note: it is normal to hear ring modulation artifacts when DELAY is set above 3 o’clock.
-
FEEDBACK Knob Controls the amount of signal that is circulated from the output of the delay block back to its input yielding delay repeats, or multiple echoes. If set very high, runaway oscillation will occur. Fairly high feedback with short delay settings produces a reverb effect.
-
BLEND Knob Varies the output mix between the dry and delayed signals. The BLEND knob ranges from 100% dry (CCW position) to 100% wet (CW position). Set BLEND to the center position for equal levels of both.
-
DEPTH Knob Sets the amount of modulation that is added to the effect. As DEPTH is turned clockwise, modulation width increases. Modulation is produced by sweeping the delay time with a repeating LFO. The Nano DMM’s built-in modulation produces vibrato style effects when the BLEND knob is set to maximum or produces chorus type effects when BLEND is set to the middle. Turn DEPTH down to the full counter-clockwise position to disable modulation.
-
RATE Knob Adjusts the speed of modulation. As RATE is turned clockwise, the modulation speed increases. The original DMM has a rate switch labeled Chorus and Vibrato. To achieve the same Chorus and Vibrato settings on the Nano DMM: set RATE to 9 o’clock for the Chorus setting; set RATE to 2 o’clock for the Vibrato setting. The DEPTH knob must be set above the full CCW position to hear the RATE knob change the modulation speed.
-
LEVEL Knob Sets the input gain for the Nano DMM. Both the wet and dry signals mixed by the BLEND knob go through the gain block. We recommend starting with LEVEL turned to 12 o’clock, setting the BLEND knob for the proper mix between wet and dry signals, then adjust the LEVEL knob for an ideal volume balance between effect and bypass modes.
-
OVERLOAD LED The OVERLOAD LED lights when the delayed signal starts to smoothly clip.
-
FOOTSWITCH and STATUS LED The footswitch engages or bypasses the effect. The STATUS LED lights when the effect is engaged. In bypass mode, the STATUS LED is off.
-
TAILS Switch The internal TAILS switch can be accessed by removing the bottom cover of the Nano DMM. The switch is located on the small board that holds the footswitch. When set to TAILS (downward position), any delay echoes that are present upon entering bypass continue to ring out but no new audio enters the delay block. When this switch is set to the upward position, the effect instantly mutes upon entering bypass.
When TAILS is off, the Nano DMM features true bypass; with TAILS enabled, buffered bypass is employed. By default from the factory, the TAILS switch is set to the off position. -
INPUT Jack Audio input to the Nano DMM.
-
OUTPUT Jack Audio output from the Nano DMM.
-
9V Power Jack Attach the output plug from the included power supply to the 9V power jack. The Nano DMM draws 150mA at 9VDC on a center-negative plug. Do not exceed 12VDC on the power jack.
Notes and Specifications
- Audio input impedance at INPUT jack: 1M
- Audio output impedance at OUTPUT jack: 300
- Current draw: 150mA at 9.0VDC
- Maximum input signal level, BLEND = 100% wet: +7.6dBu
- Maximum input signal level, BLEND = 100% dry: +13.0dBu
