STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI

Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Stereo Memory Man with

Hazarai. The Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai (SMMH) is a digital delay pedal with three

different types of echoes and a full-fledged looper all of which work in true stereo.

Special Features of the Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai:

•

Up to 3 seconds of delay time.

•

Up to 30 seconds of loop time.

•

Tap Tempo Footswitch allows you to set the delay time with your foot.

•

Multi-Tap delay allows you to set the exact number of echo repeats.

•

A full-featured looper gives you the ability to record a loop of exactly what you

are hearing at anytime, set to any length up to 30 seconds.

•

Record overdubs over your loop at anytime.

•

Loop mode allows you to reverse the loop, change just the tempo or change

both pitch and tempo.

•

Reverse Echo is an intelligent reverse delay that monitors your picking to create

optimal reverse delays of the notes you play.

•

Multi-Tap plus Reverse allows you to use a straight echo and also have a

Footswitch controlled reverse effect.

•

Echo + Mod gives you delay modulation where the user controls the total

amount of modulation.

•

A Low Pass or High Pass filter is always available to process the delayed or

looped signals.

•

Save and load up to 8 presets: 1 preset for each different mode.

•

Mono In to Stereo Out creates a ping-pong effect where the echoes bounce

between the two outputs.

WARNING:

Use only the

US96DC-200BI

adapter that the Stereo Memory

Man w/ Hazarai comes supplied with.

Do not use any other AC adapters.

Using other AC adapters, even those made by Electro-Harmonix, could cause

harm to the unit, the adapter or you. The SMMH does not use batteries.

- QUICK START GUIDE -

Basic Digital Delay/Echo Using TAP Tempo

1. Connect the output plug from the AC Adapter to the 9V jack at the top of the

Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai. Plug the AC Adapter into a wall outlet.

2. Plug your instrument into the MONO/Left Input Jack.

3. Plug your amp into the MONO/Left Output Jack.

4. Press the BYPASS footswitch so the STATUS LED is on

5. Turn the HAZARAI knob so that the top LED is lit: ECHO-3 SEC.

6. Turn the following knobs to 50% or 12 o’clock: BLEND, FILTER and REPEATS.

7. Turn the DECAY knob fully counter-clockwise.

8. Tap in a delay time by pressing and releasing the TAP Footswitch at least two

times. The time between the taps will be your delay time.

9. To change delay time, either tap in a new time or turn the DELAY knob.

Add Filtering To Your Basic Digital Delay/Echo

10. After setting your delay in the above Quick Start section, begin to turn the

FILTER knob counter-clockwise to the 9 o’clock position, you will hear a

reduction in the treble or high frequency content of your echoes. There will be

less treble with each repeat.

11. Now turn the FILTER knob clockwise, passed the center point to the 3 o’clock

position. The echoes will now go through a high pass filter so the bass or low

frequency content of the echoes will be reduced.

Add Reverb To Your BASIC Digital Delay/Echo

12. Return the FILTER knob to the 12 o’clock position.

13. Now turn the DECAY knob up to 3 o’clock. The repeats of you delay are smeared

to produce a reverberant sound.

14. Now try turning the REPEATS and DELAY knobs down to their counter-clockwise

positions, this will yield a more straight-forward reverb effect.

Multi Tap Delay/Echo w/ 3 Repeats while Using Tap Tempo 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Use the same connections as in the steps above. Turn the HAZARAI knob so that the MULTI TAP-1 SEC + REV LED is lit. Turn the following knobs to 12 o’clock: BLEND, DECAY and FILTER. Turn the REPEATS knob to 9 o’clock. This should yield approximately 3 repeats. TAP in a delay time by pressing and releasing the TAP Footswitch at least two times. The time between taps will be your delay time.

Play Along With The Loop Using Echo 18. While the loop is playing, turn the HAZARAI knob clockwise to your favorite echo mode. 19. Turn the knobs to create an echo effect that you like. 20. Start playing with your loop while echoes are applied to your notes. 21. You can overdub at this point if you like. Press and hold the TAP/RECORD Footswitch. The echoes will be recorded in the overdub. Erase The Loop 22. Press the BYPASS Footswitch so that you enter Bypass mode and the STATUS LED is off. 23.

ECHO Modes The Echo modes are basic delay/echo effects with some added features: 3 SEC ECHO Mode: The DELAY knob’s maximum time is 3 seconds. It is possible, in this mode, to obtain smeared reverberant echoes and to make the SMMH sound like a reverb. The DECAY knob adjusts between discrete echoes like a basic echo would have and smeared reverberant echoes. 1 SEC ECHO Mode: The DELAY knob’s maximum time is 1 second.
PAGE 5
DÉJÀ VU Modes: The Déjà Vu section contains Reverse Echo, the Looper and Presets. We will discuss each mode separately. REVERSE ECHO Mode The echoes will playback in reverse. The Reverse Echo in the SMMH is an intelligent reverse echo; it studies your playing so that it can produce reverse echoes that best suit your delay time setting. Please Note: to take full advantage of the intelligent reverse echo feature, we recommend the DECAY knob be turned all the way down to the counterclockwise position.

3. 4. To end overdub recording, release the TAP/RECORD Footswitch. You must hold down the TAP/RECORD Footswitch for a minimum of half a second, if you hold it for less time it will register as a Tap, not as an Overdub. Overdubbing will not change the length of the loop. The loop’s length remains constant once it is recorded. LOOP ERASURE PROCEDURE: 1. 2. Press the BYPASS Footswitch to enter bypass mode: STATUS LED off. Hold down the TAP/RECORD Footswitch for half a second.
PAGE 7
PRESETS The SMMH can save one preset for each of the 8 HAZARAI modes. Each saved preset will pertain directly to the mode you have saved it in. For example, if a preset is saved with exactly 7 repeats at a delay time of 300mS in the MULTI TAP-3 SEC mode, when you recall that preset it will sound exactly as it did when you saved it: 7 repeats at a delay time of 300mS. Once a preset is saved, the SMMH will remember the preset after power has been disconnected.

the DELAY knob, the tap time will be erased and the new delay time will be determined by where the DELAY knob is set. In LOOP Mode, the DELAY knob turns into a Loop pitch/speed control. Set the DELAY knob to 50% or 12 o’clock, the loop will playback as it was recorded. Turn the DELAY knob up from the center and the pitch and speed of the loop will increase up to twice the original loop’s speed.

BLEND KNOB seconds, then hold down the TAP/RECORD footswitch, you will hear your note played back in reverse. This gives you the ability to access Reverse playback that you can control directly with your foot. There is no loop recording while in this mode though if a loop is in memory it will continue to playback. The BLEND knob is a wet/dry control for the effect outputs. Turning the BLEND knob to its minimum counter-clockwise position will yield 100% dry and no wet signal.

MONO/L and R INPUT Jacks The SMMH allows for full stereo input. The input jacks are labeled: Mono / L and R. When using the SMMH with only one input we suggest you use the MONO/L input. The input impedance presented at each input jack is 2 MΩ. MONO/L and R OUTPUT Jacks The SMMH has true stereo output. The output jacks are labeled: MONO/L and R. If using the SMMH as a mono effect we suggest you use the MONO/L input and output. The SMMH can also be used with Mono in and Stereo out.
