Hey guys, so I've been on a vintage Ibanez kick lately. I picked this one up off of eBay for a decent deal. It reminds me a lot of the Boss DM-2.
Here is my mini review:
The Ibanez AD-80 is a great analog delay. It's quite similar in tone and layout to the more famous Boss DM-2. Both are classic, but I prefer the look of the Ibanez AD-80, Hey, it's pink! You have to dig it.
There are two notable things to point out in reference to the Ibanez Analog Delay. The first, is that the pedal operates at 18 volts! Yeah! It runs on 2 9 volt batteries. I think that has to be a first for me. Also, the Repeat knob likes to self oscillate pretty early. At 12:00, I can hear the oscillations start to run away.
For normal 'everyday' analog delay tones, I like to keep the Delay time at 3:00 or maxed, the Blend knob at 9:00, and the Repeat knob at 12:00 or below.
