Engineering AD-500 Analog Delay
Analog delay pedals are the holy grail for guitarists seeking that classic, warm, and undeniably lush echo effect. The Asama Engineering AD-500 Analog Delay delivers this coveted sonic experience in spades, with an intuitive control set that puts you in the driver's seat. At the heart of this pedal lies a completely analog delay circuit, forgoing the digital processing found in modern units. This analog approach yields a natural, organic decay that envelops your tone, adding depth and dimension without sounding artificial. Dial in the perfect balance between the original and delayed signals using the Mix knob, then fine-tune the number of repeats with the Repeat control. The Delay time can be adjusted to taste, from subtle slapback to expansive washes of sound. A clever Delay Shift switch lets you instantly double or halve the delay time, opening up a world of rhythmic possibilities. Whether you're seeking a touch of ambient shimmer or full-on psychedelic swirl, the AD-500 has you covered. This pedal's versatility extends to its power supply options, with the ability to run on two 9V batteries, an 18V DC adapter, or even a 12-20V AC adapter. Guitarists like Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead have been known to rely on the Asama AD-500 for its rich, analog character and intuitive controls.
