All user reviews for the Ibanez AD9 Analog Delay

is an analog delay, with no programming or any mode, just three knobs to the old.
An input, two output stereo effect (one of the two signal remains clean in this case).
300 ms of delay, it will be too short for some applications, such as how to play the Rhythmic edge, choose a longer period. (EHX or boss).
For a solo way "comfortly numb" on Gilmour, it will be a bit short too.

As for the cons rockab (slap back), so the delay Hendrix, that's fine.

UTILIZATION

Three knobs, more than enough to find her.
no tap tempo, thus setting the delays to the ear.
Biblical simplicity of operation, after there's good and bad taste ... delay of any sauces, it makes you sick.

SOUND QUALITY

-This time, though limited for him a warm and colorful with amazing sound ... through a good tube amp you'll have no chance to "chill" sound.
-The four major "applications" of this period are the following:
1/délai Short / reverb effect / repeat to zero:
short reverb effect, a practice amp with no reverb type lamp PRO JUNIOR, "it does", as they say.
2/délai short two-level half / repeat a single "repeat"
Hot & Slapback rokab the first quarter of the time delay.
3/délai 300ms long (bottom) level with very low / no repeat:
very nice effect of "inflation" leads, the effect is very discreet, this rule a quarter-hair level, but the result is beautiful, very Pink Floyd album Wish You Were Here.
4 / long delay (300 ms) / level to 3 / 4 / repeat bottom:
his garage, surf uncouth, type echo-band, very hot.
experimental depend on each.

that the time is limited does not cause the effect "seasick" that can give some time modern digital long time ...
with a cost of vibrato behind '(stratum or Gretsch ..), and all passed through a 65 deluxe reverb, it's like in California between 1963 & 1965.

OVERALL OPINION

"It is a pedal for players of blues-rock-rockab-psychobilly-surf-garage.
-A plug into a tube amp.
-The character of the sound is warm, colorful medium, large and inflated, not very accurate.

For those who know this piece of post-mortem hendrix "over the rainbow", taken from "landind crash", the sound of the solo is just what you can do with the AD-9. (Link here to listen below):



Salt-default: Can not have a long delay, pop to U2, as "the edge" is inaccessible.

Analog pedal, as its name suggests (republication of the model year 80)
max 300ms delay
3 knobs (delay time, level, and repeat, I think)
when to look, some pretty pink kitsch, in any case, it is much more pleasing to the eye that DE7 foul (not to mention sound)

UTILIZATION

Fastoche, adjusting the various knobs at their convenience, and hack for a psyche effect guaranteed! (Fiddling with the knobs "repeat" and "delay time").
As the previous opinion, I think, as a result, the 300 ms delay is just a little '.

SOUND QUALITY

This is definitely the highlight of the foot: a soft, warm, deep, subtle, nuanced ... just by moving the knob level, it can scan large color and sonic possibilities of the effect: with the knob to low level is nickel arpeggios (I use it with delay time knob to 2 / 3, and repeat for 3 / 4), even super nice. pushing the bottom level, the effect is much more to eat this like your sound effect producing an endless sustain. I like this option less, though. I prefer to adjust the level between the fourth and half, while combining with a boss dd2 ad9; super mix, bringing the warmth and nuances ad9 to dd2 which allows a longer delay.

OVERALL OPINION

Super delay, in its pure, warm, velvety ... Really, you can feel the difference with a digital pedal, the cons in this instance being the filthy ad9 Ibanez DE7 (like what, a brand is really capable of the best and the worst). just two faults: the delay time max, a bit limited, and the price, a bit excessive (as most delays quality of other brands for that matter)

This is an analog delay of up to 300ms delay. Format type Boss pedals of a trs nice color, plutt solid.
She has to connect between the industry and not a gadget, because this creature eats batteries faster than any other pedals I have.
No True Bypass ... honntement I brace for the loss of treble when the pedals is bypassed: in need of acute?? As against this means that if the stack is empty (which happens too often I got) the sound is even dteriorcoup by dyeing the pedals ...
deuxime out a note that its usefulness (see Sound Qualit)

UTILIZATION

3 CONTRL (delay time, number of rptitions and effect level)
Find a sound is very easy, we start with the delay time and then hack the other two buttons to achieve the desired level of clarity or, conversely, get her loaded and complements psych trs. I use it for a. plutt It is the only pedals that I have no favorite positions, I just turn the buttons quickly to get a good sound ... Trs easy to use.

SOUND QUALITY

Despite the simplicity of CONTRL, we get a large variety of sounds. On short times was a bit like a reverb spring reverb, but with a color mtallique trs trs decision. For its type slapback not exactly a, but the sound is not dsagrable provided. With the delay time back, we get a good cho, the treble just disappear rather quickly. Going up the level of the delay can be played in rhythm with ourselves even, and I love it hovering trs!
The only one I Discoveries deuxime is the latest release. If you plug a cable in, it will transmit the original signal, while the main output only transmits only the sound delay. If you are lucky enough to have two amps to allow the effects of spatiality, or to apply another effect only on the delay for example. If not by simply plugging in a cable not connected to the output deuxime can hear the sound delay. Totally unnecessary long delays (it's fun to hear play with 300ms of delay, but this joy does not last!). However a short time trs, we get a sound that reminds a bit of a sitar. You lose so much clarity in the sound is adapted as a solo, but worth it.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a little over a month. I love the varieties of sound, even if just parassent 300ms. If I would choose the rich j'tais Maxon that provides housing under the same 900ms of delay (for almost the price of my Fender lights when even!). But hey I'm still satisfied even trs.
Pay $ 150 I think. It's a bit more expensive than my other pedals, but less than most other delays analos (EHX, Carl Martin, not to mention Maxon)

I will not dwell on a subject already addressed, for my use, I wanted an analog delay, I chose it. Only regret, like everyone else: delay a bit short.
Otherwise, it's solid, no worries.

UTILIZATION

I do not know if there is a manual, I bought used. With 3 knobs, one quickly made the rounds.

SOUND QUALITY

This echo has to my mind several key qualities:
-Rehearsals, not necessarily very accurate and faithful are very warm. The pedal colors the sound, in good way. I do not know if it would suit all style of music, but for blues, rock, is famous.
-The fact that it is an analog echo, allows special effects, moving the knobs while you play. It seems gadget, but it can make very nice effects.
Would have hoped for a delay of 7 or 800 ms.
I use it in the loop of my Bogner and it looks!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and a half. Before, I had digital echo, but it's cold and it alters the sound of a good tube amp. I think it's a great pedal, even though I have relatively untested. I am very satisfied, except the delay a little weak. It's still expensive, but the competition also

I'm writing this review based upon the newer reissue, not the original made by Maxon.

THE BUZZ
The Ibanez AD9 Analog Delay Effect Pedal uses a compander with pre- and de-emphasis for an exceptionally clean delay. Time and level controls allow mixing between dry and delayed signals. Repeat control lets you adjust the number of repeats without runaway. 2 outputs enable dry and delayed signals to be routed separately.

UTILIZATION

The pedal is easy to use. It comes in a very durable metal housing. The fact that the pedal only gets to 300 milliseconds means it will primarily be used as a slap-back for many people.

I give the pedal a 7 in this category as an Ibanez DE7 can get up to 2.6 seconds, with a similar tone, for much cheaper.

SOUND QUALITY

The pedal sounds great. Regeneration capabilities on this box are incredible, if you're into that sort of thing. This pedal can nail down an East Bay Ray Dead Kennedy's style like none other. There aren't any options for voicings, so you'll get a dark echo tone and like it, thank you very much.

A Keeley-modded Ibanez AD9 can offer better quality tone, with a true bypass, and with some other neat features like expression pedal jacks. This pedal is worth looking at potential capability for that alone, if one has the cash to make it happen.

OVERALL OPINION

The stock pedal is good, but an Ibanez DE7 blows it away by providing similar tones PLUS an option for much different tones, along with way longer delay times, for cheaper on the used market.

If I knew I had the extra cash to find a Keeley-modded AD9 to get the better capabilities and tones, I'd probably do it, as used Keeley AD9s can be found for reasonable prices. However, buying an AD9 and then having Keeley mod it - the costs involve seem prohibitive for the amount of features one gets in return.

Bottom line - if you don't want a modded AD9, get a DE7. If you do want a modded AD9, buy a used and already modded-one, or mod it yourself!

The Ibanez AD9 Analog Delay is a pedal designed for electric guitar but suitable for use with any electronic instrument. The pedal can be found both as an older vintage version and a newer reissue. There's also the Maxon AD9 version which is the holy grail of the AD9. The one that I recently purchased is a vintage Ibanez AD9, although it can be hard to tell when exactly it was made. Of course the Maxon is the best AD9 available, but it's a couple times the price as the Ibanez version, which in my opinion sounds stellar. The pedal is an analog one, consisting of 1/4" connections for input, output, and dry output. It runs on 9 volt power via a battery or power supply and isn't rack mountable as it's a stomp box.

UTILIZATION

Using the Ibanez AD9 Analog Delay is super simple. It only has three parameters in the form of knobs, for controlling delay time, repeats, and delay level. That's really all there is to using the pedal, so even if you're not totally used to delay pedals, this shouldn't present any issues. A manual isn't really necessary...

SOUND QUALITY

The sound of the Ibanez AD9 Analog Delay is outstanding. It's a true analog delay as it's got a super warm sound. The reason I got the AD9 was to compliment my Line 6 DL4 digital delay pedal, as I love the DL4's versatility and looper, but there aren't any true sounding analog delays on it. The AD9 definitely has that classic sound and is a pedal that I've seen some of my favorite guitarists use. It's the type of pedal I keep on almost all of the time now, mostly for simple slapback. I'm eager to try this pedal on vocals too just to hear how it sounds...

OVERALL OPINION

The Ibanez AD9 Analog Delay gives you some great bang for your buck when it comes to an analog delay pedal. The best analog delay pedals cost a ton of money, and while this isn't up there with the Maxon AD9 or the Moog Analog Delay, it still has a great sound and costs a fraction of what those pedals do. If you're looking for a great analog delay pedal for a cheap price, look no further than the AD9.
