The thread title pretty much sums it up. Has anyone here built the Memento from Lectric-FX? If so, what are your thoughts and/or opinions? I couldn’t find much info about it outside of Lectric’s own description on their website. I found one YouTube video and one thread about it on the Madbean forum but, no discussion about how it sounds, what it does well, what it sucks at, is it noisy, shit like that.

I've built one. I don't recall it sounding or behaving differently that any of the other pt2399 delay projects. It has more parts than most basic pt2399 circuits.

That’s exactly what I was wondering. I’ve built 4 different pt2399 delays thus far and they’re all pretty similar. Nothing really special outside of features like a tone knob or modulation. I was hoping that the Memento had some weird mojo or something. Thanks for the reply.

Nope, even I'll say it's not got any major secret hidden sauce, it's nice, the external filters do help with the noise a little and it has got a slight middy boost going on, but at the end of the day... it's a delay chip and some filters.

Thanks for the reply. Doesn’t sound like it’s much different than what I’ve already built so, I’ll just pass on it.
 
I almost bought that original pedal when I was an 18 year old idiot in 2000. Instead I went with a boss DD3. I way have to pony up the money on some mn3005 chips for that build.
