Artec ADL-2 Analog Delay

This delay is a solid 4 knobs Time, repeat, tone, level 440 ms just like a classic short road

UTILIZATION

Usage is relatively simple as we know the principle of a delay Artec is also the idea of ​​highlighting standart setting by small red dot very convenient to locate. we can from this setting and pofiné to find the setting.

SOUND QUALITY

It is a delay, analog I do not but it does not have to blush for his broadcasts which personally I have a Line 6 100% digital multi-effects and delay has not this sonoritée we found in analog, so a good place also for his vis a vis the price.

OVERALL OPINION

A nice little delay pedal has a reasonable price especially the opportunity to € 40 / € 45 it will not be stolen, but a negative is a personal favorite because I have a connection Jack IN / OUT on the sides and not on the top of the pedal to the installation Pedalboard is not obvious.

Presented as analog delay.

UTILIZATION

Nothing too strenuous, Time, Repeat, Tone, Level (= Mix).

SOUND QUALITY

I will fill this section because I exchanged the delay seen that this model has a big problem for me.
I have plugged in and very quickly noticed a disgusting saturation on 1 or 2 first rehearsals when I was attacking the strings a bit much (not like a lumberjack either eh!).
The problem was there live and in the effects loop, with two different copies of the pedal, using a battery or external power supply, with two different amps, ...
I do not know if this is normal, or if it came from my installation but anyway it was just unbearable and unacceptable, so I abandoned this purpose.
Note that when the effects loop, activation of the pedal generates a "boost" the volume if I remember correctly.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it a few days, have exchanged against another copy of the same pedal and noting that this was a recurring problem have exchanged against another delay (which does not suit me either but who cares!).

Analog delay (440m)
control of delay feedback level and tone
true bypass
a jack in a jack out
making a boss power supply type
solid metal box type hammond
only good

for all this ....

85!!

(Thomann)

therefore

UTILIZATION

Bonton is good 4 danc is not rocket science, the tone is not very effective
the bypass switch is a model of its kind

SOUND QUALITY

So 440m is not huge, but it's enough to play Pink Floyd and co, and one can beautify your solos and arpeggios.

I do not have effects loops on my amp (any type lamps 20Watt Marchall), but despite this the sound is good rev, (thus I use in my amp and my distortion, which remains in its more or less clear)

the sound is warm, not envaillissant on the other hand I find that the effect a food can the sound of the guitar when he Inrush (say the sound is dry, if I put in level 0 (no delay) and j'enclanche effect, we feel a few seconds differenceau aon got used AC gene do more, but it can damage it may be because I not used in a loop.

otherwise when you put the knob at max feedback returned to the delay against reaction, not everything is infinite (it's still an analog delay) but the following is interesting in that after a few seconds in genere harmonies , a bit like a guitar hand gently feedback, and trs musical c'sdt if used well

OVERALL OPINION

Frankly for the price nothing wrong
