It's a looper, it's a multi-tap delay, it's an echo with reverse...its got all the Hazarai.
The Stereo Memory Man is a real time performance tour de force. As a Looper it has up to a full 30 seconds of loop time. World class echoes with modulation and reverse are just a few of the choices. The Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai is destined to be one of the most creative instruments you will ever own. Ethereal tone-scapes to full musical performances are only limited by your imagination. And it's all in stereo. Featured Videos

“The Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai continues the Electro-Harmonix tradition of sonically inspiring musical effects. It can take you places that other stomp-boxes can’t. It is an absolute blast to see what you can make it do. Sonically the SMMH is an absolute gas.”

Welcome to the tenth installment of EHX Effectology. In this episode Bill demonstrates a sound that reminds him of the keyboard sound in the Led Zepplein song “No Quarter”.
Second example is more of a traditional Fender Rhodes sound with a solo using the guitar into a Voice Box whistle mode.

This video knocks me out. Studio musician (and EHX Forums contributor) Bill Ruppert used his HOG, with a little help from his Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai, to reproduce one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in Rock & Roll history: the intro to The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again."
In the video Bill shares his settings and performace notes, and adds: "All done with a regular guitar, a regular pickup, and a regular cable!"

We've been playing these EHX Strings ever since we first took them home to try them out, back in 2002. We find them to consistently offer rich harmonics with powerful definition, while also lasting longer and staying in tune longer than conventional strings. We use them, we like them, and we think you will too. Available in 9's, 10's, 11's. |
