Dex Tech 'Memory Boost' - Boost Pedal - True Bypass

Introducing the Memory Boost...

The primary design goal for the 'Memory Booster' is to function as a signal booster, however, we have also added a 2-band shelving equaliser to boost or cut the high or low-frequency SPECTRUM of the input signal. The Memory Boost uses 4 pots to program the sound. There are 2 pots to adjust the input signals' low-frequency content. One pot selects the low-frequency cut-off, while the second adjusts the low-frequency boost or cut. In the same way, there are 2 pots to adjust the high-frequency response.

The Low equaliser will allow a boost of up to 20dB (or 10 times the input signal). The frequency can be swept from 218Hz up to 6.8KHz. The High Equalizer again allows a boost of up to 20dB, with a sweep from 20KHz down to 784Hz.

The equaliser section allows you to program a nice "smile" EQ to your sound, or just keep the frequency response flat, it's up to you.

The EXPRESSION input can be connected to an external Volume pedal for further control of the gain of the Memory Boost.     

The Memory Range Explained:

The Memory Range of products is classic guitar Stomp Boxes, employing a completely analogue signal path & True Bypass. The pedals differ from other offerings on the market in that they are digitally controlled. This allows each pedal to hold many "memories" (or patches) of sounds that have been lovingly created by the user.  The pedals look like classic stomp boxes (no menus to fathom). There are simply 3 or 4 familiar "pots" along with the True Bypass switch & a "patch" select switch.

The current patch is indicated by the colour of an LED strip that shines through the "Dex Tech" logo. All of our Memory products have a similar design, & are designed to be easy to use. After adjusting the sound, it can be stored in any of the 3 memory locations. To do this you hold the SELECT button down, & the display will begin to flash. Whilst the display is flashing you can select any one of the patch locations to store your new sound (Red, Green or Blue). Once you have selected the required memory location, you hold the SELECT button down to store the patch in that particular location. If you cycle around to the original patch location, the sound will revert to the original patch.

Having memories on the units means that the pots might not point to the actual sound setting of the patch. To make the pots point to the current parameter location, you simply turn the pot until the display flashes. At this point, you know that the pot is aligned with the particular parameter setting. As you then change the parameter, the display flashes to indicate that the parameter is being changed in the patch. 

All pedals have a 3rd jack input along with the input & output jacks. This 3rd input is used as a control input. This often is marked "TAP" to indicate a connection to a footswitch that can be used to control the rate of a parameter (such as signal delay, or LFO speed). On the Memory Boost pedal, this input works as a Volume or Swell pedal input.

Being digitally controlled also allows the pedals to talk to each other via a Wireless MIDI option.

The Memory Range of guitar pedals are assembled in the UK at the Dex Audio facility.
