On 2001-12-01, lmountain rated this Ibanez AD 100 Analog Delay a 4...(934)
Purchase: I walked into a pawn shop in Naniamo, British Columbia Canada with a musician friend of mine and found this awesome unit sitting on an amp. I like to think it was waiting there for me. I paid $150 Canadian for it and it is worth every penny.
Pros: The first thing that interested me about this unit was its ability to make space ship landing sounds (hehe). But after I had a chance to fiddle with it at home I realized what great tone this thing has. It really has a dynamic sound which is full and blows my Line 6 DL4 delay modeller out of the water.
Cons: The only thing that bugs me about the unit is when I plug it into the hi-gain input on my bluesbreaker it gives out a high pitched squeal like a TV does, since this squeal can only be heard when the effect is off I might get a true bypass mod put in it to get rid of the squeal. Also, the delay turns right off when the effect is deactivated, I wish it would trail off instead.
Quality: The unit is a table top unit, with rubber feet. It is also built like a tank, black metal construction, and huge fat knobs!!!
The front plate is plastic and has all the knobs in plane view there. It has a 1/4 inch input jack, 1/4 inch dry out, 1/4 inch wet out, and a footswitch jack. The knobs from left to right are: input level, delay time, repeat, delay level, and normal level. It also has an effect on/off toggle if you don't have a footswitch. Review Summary: Overall, great unit. I would have liked to see an expression pedal for this unit but they never made one. The unit is quite old, early to mid eighties and is still works like a charm. I love it and would not part with it. If it was lost I would replace it, but I think I would be hard pressed finding another one like it. I guess they are pretty rare. If you find one, buy it, if you don't like it, I'll buy it from you. On 2001-12-01, lmountain rated this Ibanez AD 100 Analog Delay a 4...(939)
