Taken from some article on the webbernet:
Matthews says "The Stereo Memory Man has a lot of hazarai." When pressed just what exactly hazarai is, he says it's "A lot of extra stuff!" Hazarai is a Yiddish word used right on the box to describe the huge amount of features in this excellent unit.

Pressing for toggling through presets if I remember correctly. Turning for scrolling through the various styles of delay. Ebayed mine a while ago.

Hazarai is the name of the digital chip.

It was a John Wayne movie back in the 60s about being in Africa and catching Rinos without getting your legs skewered and your jeep turned over.

What's "Hazarai"?
Well as I understand it, the guys at EH desperately needed a gimic to help sell their new delay. While thinking of one, they went out to the local deli on a lunch break. The guy behind the counter didn't speak english very well, and when it came to order the sandwiches, the deli guy said "For a breads, you can haz a wheat, you can haz a pumpanitzle, or a you can Haz-a-rye.
...and just like that- a brilliant marketing gimic was born!

Just the ability to switch between 8 different settings..some of which can be activated simultaneously. Great pedal with ability to roll off the highs on the repeats, GREAT reverse delay, 300ms delay with modulation, and a looper that has this uncanny ability to provide a seamless transition at the start/stop point so all your loops are perfect whether you time it perfect or not. Its not the cool handmade, hard to get delay of the week but its a solid workhorse delay that will get a lot of use if you put it on your board. The tap tempo rules as well.

Hazerai (pron. Chazarai with a guttural sound) translated literally means "pig food" in Yiddish. Commonly used as a term for junk food or junk. It seems the builders of the pedal have heard it used to mean something else.

Maybe they consider all the digital bits to be junk?

I understand it to mean "crap" or junk or even "shit", at least that's how it was used around where I grew up.
hazarai means pig slop. as in pig food.
pigs eat ANYTHING, so farmers just throw everything into a slop to feed them, leftovers etc.
the ploy being that this memory man has "EVERYTHING" in it.
ive got one of these bad boys. however, ive got a majorly modded DL4 on the way, a bloke picked it up for me for $50 because it was "broken". he then proceeded to fix it with ease and mod it to the F-house for me, for cheap. wooo bargain :drool
ill compare it to the hazarai, and probly let the haz go. 2 digital delays seems a bit much. if anyones interested, let me know!

After watching that youtube clip a few times I have concluded it means John Wayne in a box.
