NEW To Here Knows When Guitar Sound
MEMORY MAN SETTINGS:
I broke my memory man not long after this, and I’ve finally bought a new one, so here’s something very close to what I used:
Mode: Multitap 1 sec
Blend: 12 o’clock
Decay: All the way up
Filter: 12 o’clock
Repeats: Between 11 and 12 o’clock
Delay: Between 9 and 10 o’clock (you’ll need to play with this one to get it right)

…and 14 years later it's still a relevant post
every now and then i remember this video exists and come back to it – absolutely magnificent mate. hope you're doing well all these years later.
I just recreated this effect through vsts. Sounds fantastic
is this GDGGDG [capo 3rd] tuning ?
holy shit
Used this video as reference 13 years ago when I made an album and oh boy am I back to remember what it was I actually did! Lost my memory man many years ago, may need to buy another
anyone know what behringer pedal that is?
For a long time I presumed that sound was done by analogue synthesiser. Felt like one. Sounded like the closest thing to a Boards of Canada tune or perhaps Robert Fripp phase of Frippertronics.
electro harmonix should have paid this guy
is the tuning standard E?
anyone know if he’s running the dirt into the memory man or if the memory man into dirt?
i need this
Very cool!
legend
EHX needs to send you a percentage for their Memory Man sales haha this video is why I bought one in 2012
Just blew my mind
I dont really listen much to shoegaze but these soundscapes are inspiring as hell
So I bought myself a digiverb for gated/reverse reverb and I'm about to try new things
This is great!! Thank you. What are you're settings on the Danelectro Overdrive V1?
I just got my memory man but I don’t know what the tuning is
I am here 11 years after the original upload. Nails the MBV sound.
This has serious ASMR energy.
this video is important
If anyone owns the Zoom MS50/70/G1on/G1xon multistomp pedals, someone has worked on a preset to match the reverse reverb setting that Kevin Shields uses, which massively shapes the sound in songs such as To Here Knows When. Here is the post with the relevant settings:

“The bar up there”
Hehe.
i think your a good guitarist.
Shields is a genius, I mean Rothko, Pollock size genius.
Amazing sound, thanks for sharing!
2:23 Bird of Paradise intro ?
This almost 10 year old video is still closer to the Shields "reverse reverb" than almost any other. Most don't realize he didn't use the typical washed out reverse reverb on Loveless. He used the SPX-90 on early reflections setting, which basically does a clicky, delay-like sound that simulates the sound bouncing off of walls (early reflections). The setting is on reverse, so it ramps up in volume rather than tapers off.
He didn't feed the reverse verb into a fuzz/drive, but that's a decent way to recreate the To Here Knows When sound specifically, since Kevin did some weird re-amp technique to make the guitar sound ridiculously distorted. It was either guitar into the SPX straight to tape or the SPX to an amp then tape. Then the tape was fed through the amp again.
So simply, it ended up sounding like guitar > reverse reverb > overdriven amp.
On Loveless, it's only on 2 songs, maybe 3. You can hear the effect super clearly on the drum intro to Soon. It's the clicky delay you hear.
It's amusing how their earlier stuff is far more drenched in this effect than Loveless. On some of their EPs and Isn't Anything, he used a Midiverb patch which has a more expected huge reverb wash. The SPX was also used on some of the EPs, and certainly was live on songs like Slow and Thorn.
High as a kite!
Supoib.
I loved it, but 220 €….
Dude, love yourself-effacing style. Awesome video, sound and playing.
3:23 soon
You da man! Thanks for doing this
You can use the Canyon Delay pedal from EHX for this as well!
what drive is that ?
that sounds really great. Goob job man!
The EHX Holy Grail Max has a very close Reverse Reverb to the Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai
everytime I feel lonely and sad I come back here to watch this video
am i the only one who thinks he looks like kevin shields
Lol I think this is the video Kerry McCoy was talking about in that rig rundown
fun fact: this is the video Kerry McCoy used as a reference for Deafheaven's delayed guitar sound
you can get it just by using the trem arm and a good overdrive
has anyone gotten this to work on a zoom g3? i dont think the multitap function has the capabilities to nail how the hazarai behaves
You are lovely. Thank you
Standing ovation!!!TOTALLY NAILED IT!
I saw the Loveless tour twice & picked Mr Shield's brain about production.This gave me a flashback
