Danelectro AD-1 Forward-Reverse Delay

Here is a pedal forward / reverse delay, ie a delay (digital) standard, and a reverse function to have what you play ... in reverse.
metal case, pedal heavy enough, then.
1 input jack, two jack output, with a purpose and a dry, for use in stereo (see strength in use)
4 pots: a mix (to increase the presence of the effect and reduce the original signal, and vice versa.
1 speed (for speed, there are 3 good seconds of delay in forward as in reverse)
1 repeat (to infinity if the hi-cut is at the minimum)
A hi-cut (to reduce the high frequency of repetition, to give an echo effect type)
Two switches: one for the tap tempo (very good compared with other pedals boss type that need support to remain difficult to use ... 2 secs)
1 to trigger the effect
So good at all, but I did not beucoup other points of comparison.

UTILIZATION

Easy and clear complète.Manuel (in English, but no problems). The pots are accurate.
I issue a reserve still on the button reverse: it's small, plastic, and the race is not straightforward. In addition it is innaccesible foot. Other switches seem solid.
the highlight is the presence of independent tap tempo.

SOUND QUALITY

The forward delay is very classic ... but digital, which makes the diffcile hacks live, especially with the speed (very fun exercise that I gave myself up with my ibanez echomachine). Rehearsals are very good: the very fast 3 sec at full stride. The hi-cut is very significant to give a vintage side.
go, I can not resist, j'enclenche button back! ... and there the trip. I have long dreamed of having the sound of the Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows, is very much in live.et réussi.Même if the riff can be placed directly in reverse, to make a loop, I do recommend, however, d first forward and then press the button, because it's very random. In 50/50 mix for solos is also very effective.
a discordant note: two enormous tail light cadillac diode that act causes some interferences (especially the tap tempo).
I use this on a tele lite ash. (Note a switch behind the pedal that lets you select the type of microphone used to offset or reduce the signal)

OVERALL OPINION

Used for a week. (Perhaps I will bring details after some time of use). I bought it mainly for the reverse function as I already had two delays (one of my vox and echomachine ibanez)
I will soon be the comparison with the reverse function of the Boss DD6, a friend of mine just bought. The value for money is good (85 euros bought new).
I think if my budget had allowed me, I bet on a DD6, but I'm pretty satisfied.

Numrique delay effect with reverse and tap tempo function.
Between jack and output jack dual mono or stereo output.

UTILIZATION

Easy to use, plutt complete without falling into surenchre functions.
An on / off foot, a tap tempo foot.
A mix knob, a knob for manual tempo, a high cut knob to, 1 knob of feedback, a reverse push on / off.
Everything is easily accessible even if the function would reverse MRIT a shortcut to the foot. The high cut is welcome and brings trs trs INTERESTED sounds a little vintage.
The CONTRL tempo is either foot or with the manual knob ... attention when we combine the two, a certain delay parasitize the quality of sound.

SOUND QUALITY

I use this with a low freeway4 Godin, a guitar and a guitar XTone PS2 Squier Tele customII and I really like the sound. I bought it for a new group post-rock trend and I thought initially buy a real analog delay. Finally APRS test I immediately chose the one. The delay time can be short like chorus and trs trs long (3 sec). Global Warming The high cut out the sound and feedback can take us in Mandres sound enjoyment!
The reverse function is really stunning. Envotante warm. It is quite sensitive to variations of the game .. it must be matriser his finger.

OVERALL OPINION

I have for over a year. It is sturdy, heavy, a trs particulire Aesthetics (I did not buy one as a!) And complte trs.
I tried other models qqs (Guyatone lgre a little, Boss D3 complte least ...)
I found a little CHRE tt (110 in the store I think) but with all these functions and the solid worth.
For now I'm not.

The Danelectro Wasabi AD-1 is a delay of 3 seconds Numrique, possdant a tap tempo (speed adjustable rptition by stamping on a switch) and a Reverse Delay, which r pte what plays upside down and a switch to select the output level
The pedals seem to be any evidence of a robust, but I was shocked to break the switch output level.
It possde at any rglages 5:
- Speed ​​rptition
- Number of Rptitions
- Hi-Cut
- Mix
- Reverse ON / OFF

It possde more output Dry, if you want to work in Stereo, and a tap tempo spar bypass.
The only real default design that I found is the Speed ​​knob, which ranges from 0 3s linear. (Go find 350ms for example, such a course: p)

UTILIZATION

The pedals are relatively easy handle.
The tap tempo also simplifies significantly the speed SETTING THE (Ex: I want a delay the black point, and I have ben! Just tapping his foot!) And in addition, it is a second switch!

Only BMOL this simplicity the button to start the reverse is not accessible by foot.
It can become good, since we have also prevents the trigger unintentionally.

Need I say more? It is a delay, not a synthtiseur.
Ah yes, the manual, which manual? It's okay, Danelectro gives a sticker

SOUND QUALITY

So in the end? it sounds how this delay?
And it sounds plutt ben good, and he is versatile plutt!

There may be a delay Modern Hi-Cut with 0 and all rglant tap tempo. We will then rptitions super clean and perfectly holds.

Turning well as it should be Hi-Cut and the acclrant rptitions was then a delay that dtriore as an analog (without being like, do not push it not more) inflating the sound

The Reverse when he makes a sound much, much more complex to use.
Be aware that this is not an effect Violin. You can have this impression, but you must spend time and rglages stall, and his game .. and again ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have this delay for over a year and it remains in my pedalboard.
I use it now, coupled with an Analog Delay (one AD-80) and they compltent trs well.
Indeed, the delays Wasabi allows relatively clean and modern, for a price drisoire enough for what it is.
Trs's tap tempo function properly designed, in another switch the dmarque my taste, other delays such as the boss, or tap tempo is the single footswitch
By the time I bought it I had no other test delay. Now APRS have several test, I never found the simplicity of the one, thanks to the tap tempo, or he had to type in a range well above.

I think it's a good trs Delay numrique for its price. Forcment it n'galera not TC or Eventide, or even the Boss DD-20, but we are in a different range.
For the price at which proposed Danelectro, it gives me a great deal!

I'll let you rfrez other opinion because I dont have the pedal in front (sold) maaaa if I remember correctly, it holds the road well this pedal!

UTILIZATION

The reverse mode delay is not easy easy to use but has persevered's worth.
on the other hand, this pedal is the o sucks, cest at lergonomie.
I lauris prfr design with fewer buttons typ and more accessible.
Otherwise, bravo for the tap tempo, cest so good.

SOUND QUALITY

Very well.
Especially thanks to Hi-Cut knob allowing her to erase the dirty field thus values ​​digital technology and give a lil cot on tape delay. it works very well!
Very good in top RESULT delay (very short delay the rockab ').
The reverse delay is rather musical and pleasant, no surprises.

OVERALL OPINION

Jaimas out this pedal, I jai lai sold as something else now.
Its a very good reverse delay with a pleasant option. The knob Hi-Cut permits this very versatile pedal DTRE (really better than knob filter of my Electro-harmonix "with Hazara).
on the other hand she is ugly.
