DELUXE MEMORY MAN 550-TT
TAP TEMPO ANALOG DELAY with FX LOOP,
MODULATION and EXPRESSION PEDAL
Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe
Memory Man 550-TT (DMM550). The DMM550 is designed with high
quality, new old-stock bucket brigade ICs for an analog delay sound
equal to the original Deluxe Memory Man. In addition to Tap Tempo
control of the delay time, the DMM550 also includes delay time
modulation, an effects loop in the feedback path of the delay block, an
input gain control, tap tempo divide and optional expression pedal
control over five parameters: Delay Time, Feedback, Modulation Depth,
Rate and Blend. The DMM550 is true bypass.
WARNING: Your Deluxe Memory Man 550-TT comes equipped with an
Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200BI power supply (same as used by Boss
Ibanez
®
: 9.6 Volts DC 200mA). The Deluxe Memory Man 550-TT requires
200mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. The DMM550 does not take
batteries. Using the wrong adapter may damage your unit and void the
warranty.

KNOBS

DELAY Knob – Sets the delay time from 30 mS to 630 mS. As you turn the
DELAY knob clockwise, the delay time will increase. It is normal for the noise
floor to rise as the delay time increases. At the longest delay settings it is normal
to hear ring modulation. If you tap in the delay time, the DELAY knob's setting
will be ignored until you move it again. If you turn the DELAY knob after tapping
in a delay time, the DELAY knob's setting will supersede the last tap tempo that
was entered. Turning the DELAY knob, while listening to your echoes, will bend
the pitch of your notes. The DELAY knob can also be used to set the maximum

Summary of Contents for Electro-Harmonix DELUXE MEMORY MAN 550-TT

  • Page 1 & Ibanez ® : 9.6 Volts DC 200mA). The Deluxe Memory Man 550-TT requires 200mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. The DMM550 does not take batteries. Using the wrong adapter may damage your unit and void the warranty.
  • Page 2 delay time for expression pedal control. N.B.: the TAP DIVIDE button functions have no effect on the DELAY knob; pressing this TAP DIVIDE button while the DELAY knob controls the delay time will not change the delay time. FEEDBACK Knob – Controls the amount of signal that is circulated from the output of the delay block to its input.
  • Page 3 expression pedal will control that parameter. For example, if the RATE LED is lit, the expression pedal controls the modulation rate, from slowest (expression pedal = toe up), to the RATE knob’s current setting (expression pedal = toe down). When no EXP. MODE LEDs are illuminated the expression pedal is disabled while it remains plugged into the DMM550.
  • Page 4 TAP DIVIDE Button and LEDs – This button cycles through the six possible settings for TAP DIVIDE. Each setting, except when all LEDS are off, will divide the tap tempo to create shorter delay times in sync with your original tempo. It works like so: The DMM550 always assumes that the musician taps in a quarter note.
  • Page 5 DMM550’s delay block. The input impedance presented at the RETURN jack is 2 M. EFFECTS LOOP – The Deluxe Memory Man 550-TT has an effects loop feature which allows other effects to be inserted into the feedback loop of the delay block, before the bucket brigade chips.
  • Page 6 Roland EV-5 or Boss FV-500L. You may also connect a Control Voltage on TS plug to this jack. The Control Voltage range must be 0 V to 5 V. EXPRESSION PEDAL CONTROL – The Deluxe Memory Man 550-TT allows external control over five of its parameters: BLEND, modulation RATE, modulation DEPTH, FEEDBACK and DELAY time.
  • Page 7 These external switch connections work in parallel with their associated buttons on the DMM550. If either of the buttons have been enabled for external use, a TRS plug must be inserted into the TAP SW jack. In this circumstance, if a TS plug is inserted into the TAP SW jack it will be equivalent to holding down whichever button has been enabled for external use, without the ability to release the button.
