    Just realized "cheap" pedals can rock.

    So until now I only really looked at pedals that fell on the "boutique" side of of the market. I just figured that if they cost more they must be better. Boy have I been wrong.

    Replace toggle on EXH Memory Boy?

    I have a memory boy and the three way toggle for modulation doesn't "click" into the center position. I can gently move it and get it to stay in the middle, but it doesn't click the way the other three way toggle does. This bugs me. How can I fix this?

    Memory Boy Delay Sound Quality?

    Hey you all, I just picked up a used memory boy and the delays seem a tiny bit fuzzy to me like there is some extra noise/hum in the signal. There is also a slight high pitched frequency to the delay when maxed out on all the knobs. Should the delay sound 100% like my non delayed signal? Is...
