Electro-Harmonix Stereo Memory Man With Hazarai
FELIPE SOSA: Okay. And last but not least, let me show you the Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai. This unit is stereo and can go from 0.2 to 3,150 ms. That's a little bit above 3 seconds, okay? And it has different echo, multitap and digital reverse echo and loop modes. So let us start by showing you the first one, which is the 3-second echo, okay? And I'm going to show it with two in, two out, and then I will be removing one of the inputs for a special reason. Let's begin.

So, you can control the delay time either with the delay knob or by doing tap tempo. I got blend and the decay. I can control the amount of feedback with the repeat button or the repeat knob, and with the decay knob, I can control the repeats to be clean or more smeared adds more with reverb. Okay, and let me show you this. I'm going to make one small connection, just one moment please. I'm removing the stereo out to make it one in two out, and hear what happens. You would have to place the microphone in the middle because what we now get is --
[FELIPE SOSA AUDITIONING THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
Put it in the middle because you're getting a ping-pong now. It goes left to right, left to right. So let's say I like this setting, I'd press the Hazarai button, and it'll light up and it will store it as a preset, so I can save seven presets, one for each different mode.
So now let me scroll down to the second mode, which is the 1 Second which goes from 0.8 to 1,010. It's a little bit above a second, and let me show you the preset I chose...

...which has nice...
[FELIPE SOSA PLAYING THE GUITAR THROUGH THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
...smooth echo with reverb. Now let me scroll through the next one, which is the 300 ms. So we'll go from 0.2 into 300 ms plus modulation. Let me put the preset.
[FELIPE SOSA PLAYING THE GUITAR THROUGH THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
Now with the decay knob, you control the amount of modulation.
[FELIPE SOSA PLAYING THE GUITAR THROUGH THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
See? It's got a very nice sound. Let's go to the multitaps. With the multitaps, the repeat knob, instead of controlling the feedback, it controls the amount of repeats. It goes from 1 to 30.
[FELIPE SOSA AUDITIONING THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
There you have it, the ping pong, but the decay --
[FELIPE SOSA AUDITIONING THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
I just modified the tap tempo here. With the decay, you can make the repeats fade out or you can have them fade in, or you can have them be at the same volume, or you can have them fade in. So let's say I'm playing a phrase.
[FELIPE SOSA PLAYING THE GUITAR THROUGH THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
See? Let's start again.
[FELIPE SOSA PLAYING THE GUITAR THROUGH THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
There you go. And let's scroll down to the 1-second multitap and show the preset I have.
[FELIPE SOSA AUDITIONING THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
Okay. I have set -- Though the tap tempo gives you quarter note delay tempos. I have adjusted the tempo here so that it sounds like a dotted eighth note. If I count

-ah-ah-ah and I go one-two-three-four.[FELIPE SOSA PLAYING THE GUITAR THROUGH THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
See?
[FELIPE SOSA PLAYING THE GUITAR THROUGH THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
And we can also have -- we also have the 1-Second with Reverse mode. Let's say I'm playing a passage.
[FELIPE SOSA PLAYING THE GUITAR THROUGH THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
[INDISCERNIBLE] the tempo. I start playing nice and it sets the seconds in reverse.
[FELIPE SOSA PLAYING THE GUITAR THROUGH THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
Or.
[FELIPE SOSA PLAYING THE GUITAR THROUGH THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
There you go. Then we can use the reverse echo by entering the reverse echo mode, which will play everything in reverse.
[FELIPE SOSA PLAYING THE GUITAR THROUGH THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
And you can also count the repeats with the repeats, and now last but not least, we'll do a loop for you. Okay, I'll set the decay and the repeats here, and decay is around here and yes. Let's start. It can loop up to 30 seconds. Let's do a very short loop here.
[FELIPE SOSA RECORDING A GUITAR LOOP THROUGH THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
Now let's proceed to overdub.

Now we're going to put it in reverse. [INDISCERNIBLE]
[FELIPE SOSA RECORDS ANOTHER GUITAR LOOP THROUGH THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
I can have that one in reverse. Okay. I can also modify the speed with the tap tempo button.

I can also modify the pitch and the speed with the delay knob.
[FELIPE SOSA MODIFIES SPEED AND PITCH OF RECORDED LOOPS IN THE ELECTRO-HARMONIX STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI]
I can use any of the setting that I like, dial up a preset, and play on top.

Stop, recycle the loop, and start all over again. And this has been the Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai, and actually Hazarai is Yiddish for "all the bells and whistles", because you see this pedal has the whole shebang in it.
