To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Electro-Harmonix Memory Toy pedal, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Nettoyage: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the pedal's exterior. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.

If you encounter issues with your Memory Toy pedal, consider the following common solutions:

• Pas de son : Check all cable connections. Ensure the power supply is correctly connected and functioning, or replace the 9V battery. Verify that your instrument and amplificateur fonctionnent correctement.
• Son faible ou déformé : Check the power supply. Ensure the input signal is not too hot, which could cause clipping. Adjust the E.LEVEL (if applicable, though not explicitly listed for Memory Toy, it's a common delay pedal control) or your instrument's output.
