User Manual for Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man 1100-TT

Quick Guide from the Manual

The Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man 1100-TT is an analog delay pedal featuring tap tempo, modulation, an effects loop, and expression pedal control. Important: This unit requires a 9V DC, 200mA power supply with a center negative plug. Do not use batteries. Using the wrong adapter may damage the unit and void the warranty.

Controls and Indicators

The pedal features several knobs to shape your sound:

• DELAY Knob: Sets delay time from 52 ms to 1100 ms. Turning this knob overrides any previously tapped-in tempo.
• FEEDBACK Knob: Controls the number of echoes. Maximum clockwise position causes self-oscillation.
• DEPTH Knob: Sets the amount of modulation applied to the delay time.
• RATE Knob: Sets the speed of modulation.
• GAIN Knob: Adjusts input gain from -13dB to +20dB.
• BLEND Knob: Mixes between dry and wet signals. Full clockwise is 100% wet.

Tap Tempo and Delay Settings

You can set the delay time using the TAP Footswitch. Stomp on the switch twice to set the tempo. The unit will average the tempo if you tap more than twice. The maximum delay time when tapped in is 1.5 seconds. Note that the delay time is always set by the last method used (knob or tap).

Tap Divide Modes: The TAP DIVIDE button allows you to divide the tap tempo into rhythmic subdivisions:

• Quarter Note / OFF: 1/1 ratio
• Dotted 8th Note: 3/4 ratio
• Quarter Note Triplet: 2/3 ratio
• 8th Note: 1/2 ratio
• 8th Note Triplet: 1/3 ratio
• 16th Note: 1/4 ratio

Tap Divide Sequence Mode

This "easter egg" mode automatically cycles through the six tap divide modes at a rate set by the RATE knob:

1. Tap in a delay time.
2. Press and hold the TAP DIVIDE button for 2 seconds until LEDs light up.
3. Turn the RATE knob to change the sequence speed.
4. To exit, hold the TAP DIVIDE button for 2 seconds or turn the DELAY knob.

I/O and Effects Loop

The pedal includes an effects loop to insert other effects into the feedback path of the delay block:

• SEND Jack: Connect to the input of your external effects.
• RETURN Jack: Connect to the output of your external effects.
• Note: If you do not wish to use the effects loop, leave the RETURN jack disconnected.

Expression Pedal Control

You can control five parameters (BLEND, RATE, DEPTH, FEEDBACK, DELAY) using an expression pedal. Use the EXP. MODE button to select the parameter. The expression pedal must have a Tip-Ring-Sleeve (TRS) plug. The pedal sweeps from the minimum setting to the current knob position (toe down).

Factory Restore

To restore the original factory settings for Feedback Hold, EXP. MODE, and TAP DIVIDE:

1. Press and hold the EXP. MODE button while applying power to the unit.
2. Wait until all 5 expression mode LEDs light up solid.
3. Release the button.
