Ibanez HD-1500 Harmonic/Delay

The HD1500 is a leading expert in delay, by the way is all he can do! Is an analog rack, but not edit, ehh yes it is getting any younger! On back side there is an entry input, a feedback loop, two output output (mix and dry). On the front: 8 large knobs of good design, 2 pitch knobs, a width, a fine, a feedback knob, knobs mixing 2 the effect and dry and finally setting volume input.Le rack has a red LCD screen which are added four buttons: Mode, Delay, harmonious and bypass ... and two others for the DLY time ..

UTILIZATION

The config is very simple, you just have to be careful when connecting the output to connect well with the "mix" and not dry at risk of ending up with his dish and especially without delay ...
Three modes in the program each delay DLY limited time, from the smallest to the largest with a max between 400 and harmonic 500ms.Le mode is actually a surrealist pitch set by the two potards.Tout is very clear and it was a advice: go!

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few months and it became my bike against preferée.Par, plan another little effect either type footswitch that the substance or a small delay as the multi SE-70 is going very, very well with . I got a song for 57 euros if I remember correctly and it is small price to pay for what it does and the sound that we could be sort.Tout blamed it the feedback was very slight if anything for the breed .. If it all over again would their eyes closed.
