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.

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!

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.
