Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man

Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man
1990's Reissue with Wooden Box

I got a new to me EHX DMM in very good condition. I am not familiar with the different variations of this pedal.

I got the 90's reissue that were distributed packed in a nice wooden box instead of the garden variety carton box. Mine has the external power supply adapter and the vintage style knobs. It is also nice as it is not the later true bypass model.

This one appears to have seen little use and still has the manufacturers papers in the box.

Many users pay money to have their non-true bypass DMM modded for true-bypass.

There are other users however who believe that the buffer of the DMM is one of its desirable features vs. the later reissue big box model with the relay true-bypass circuitry.

Analogman Sunlion

Analogman Sunlion
Serial No. 178
November 2006

The Analogman Sunlion is a Sunface Fuzz and Beano Boost in one pedal housing. This specific pedal has all White Dot NKT-275 transistors.

These are based on two classic circuits (Fuzz Face and Rangemaster Treble Booster) that are excellent as individual stand alone pedals. Combined as in the Analogman Sunlion, they provide a 3rd entity that is similar in gain character to the classic 3-transistor Vox Tone Bender circuit.

Having the Analogman Sunlion is like having a Rangemaster Treble Booster (Beano Boost) an expertly-tuned Arbiter Fuzz Face (Sunface) and a 3-transistor Vox Tone Bender (Sunlion).

The Beano Boost compliments the Sunface very well. It functions as a boost and an adjustable tone filter that helps concentrate the fuzzed signal into a more focused and cutting tone.






















































The gain code letters on the NKT-275 in the sunface are 'J' and 'Q'.
