Memory Man | Golden Age of Gear Ep. 33
This week on The Golden Age of Gear, Joey dives headfirst into analog delay heaven with the vintage Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man — modded by none other than Analog Man. Sent over by Evan of Pedals to Metal, this iconic delay quickly goes from “loaner” to “might never leave the studio” status.
We explore the rich modulation, generation loss, and vibey imperfections that have made the Memory Man a must-have for artists from Radiohead to Albert Lee. From swirling ambience to slapback swagger, this pedal does it all — hiss, giant power supply, and all. Joey and Derek talk vintage vs. modern, boutique prices, cork-sniffing vs. practicality, and why sometimes gear just needs to inspire you, even if it’s noisy and overpriced.
Is a $1,000 delay pedal worth it? Would you buy one? Let us know in the comments.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
