| Electro Harmonix Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai
Multi-Tap Digital Delay with tap tempo, 3 different types of echoes including Reverse Echo and a full fledged Looper! It's even programmable!
This is a killer new addition to the Electro Harmonix family of effects pedals!
First off, 'Hazarai' from what we've learned is a Yiddish term which loosley translated means "all of the bells and whistles" and believe us when we tell you, this pedal is aptly named!
It's more than just a delay / echo! It's also a looper!
Here are some of the special features of the Stereo Memory Man w/ 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 length up to 30 seconds.
-
Record overdubs over your loop at any time.
-
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
Hazarai Knob:
This is the white knob locqated in the upper tight corner of the SMMH. The Hazarai knob is a rotary encoder enabling the user to scroll through the 8 modes of the SMMH. Turn the knob clockwise to progressup through the modes: from LOOP to ECHO 3-Second mode. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to progress down through the modes.
The Hazarai knob also has a push switch to save and load presets. To load a preset, turn the Hazarai knob to select the desired mode and then give the Hazarai knob a quick tap. Push it down, then release it. To save a preset, push down and hold the Hazarai knob until the LED's stop blinking. At this point the preset is saved and you can let go of the knob. Only one preset is saved per mode and the preset you save is based on the current mode.
Delay Knob:
In all modes except LOOP mode the DELAY knob sets the Delay time for the echo. The total range odf the Delay knob varies depending on the selected mode. The following table displays the Delay knob time range for each echo mode:
|
Mode
Echo-3 Sec
Echo-1 Sec
Echo-300ms + MOD
Multi-Tap-3 Sec
Multi-Tap-1 Sec
Multi-Tap-1 Sec + REV
Deja-Vu-Reverse Echo |
Time Range
1.8ms to 3150ms
0.6ms to 1050ms
0.2ms to 350ms
1.8ms to 3150ms
0.6ms to 1050ms
0.6ms to 1050ms
0.2ms to 3150ms |
The delay time can also be set by the Tap/record footswitch. The conmtrol that takes precedence is the last touched. If you tap in a delay time, then turn the delay knob, the tap time will be erased and the new delay time will be determined by where the delay knob is set.
Repeats Knob:
The REPEATS knob is very much like the feedback control that is seen on many other types of delay units. The function of this knob changes depending on the selected mode. The following table descibes the exact function of the REPEATS knob for each mode:
|
MODE
ECHO Modes
Multi Tap Modes
Reverse Echo
Loop |
REPEATS Knob Function
Controls the amount of delay feedback, from 0%to 99.99%
Sets the exact number of repeats from 1 to 30.
Controls the amount of delay ffedback, from 0% to 99.99%
When overdubbing, controls the volume attenuation of the previously recorded loop. Set to 0%, the previous loop will be erased. Set to 100% the previous loop will remain at the same volume. |
Filter Knob:
The Filter Knob controls both a Low Pass or High Pass Filter on the delayed signal
Decay Knob:
The function of the Decay knob changes depending on the mode selected...
-
For echoes it selects between discrete echo and smeared, reverberant echo
-
In multi Tap Modes it controls the relative volume of each preset
-
In Reverse Echo mode it sets the number of replay voices from 1 to 25
-
In Loop Mode it switches the loop direction from forward to reverse
