Analog Man ARDX20 Dual Analog Delay - USED
This used Analog Man ARDX20 is one of the coolest dual analog delays in the store. It is in great condition (see pics). It does not come with the original box, unfortunately, but will be well-packed for shipping.
They say:
The Analog Man ARDX20 Analog Delay pedal is a 100% handmade analog BBD chip delay. It has two channels, each with independent delay time, feedback, and level controls. Also has effects loop, delay time expression control jack, and hi-cut switch.
It was designed by Ohbayashi San of Analog Man Asia in Japan, with design and specification help from Analogmike. We built a custom circuit board and specially designed enclosure for this pedal. The wires are hand soldered and assembled to our specs in China. Then the pedals go to Japan where they are calibrated and tuned at the Analog Man Asia shop by Ohbayashi san and his team.
FEATURES:
- True bypass switching, the right side foot switch is effect ON/OFF.
- It's ONE delay pedal, but has TWO sets of controls, not only delay time but also delay level and feedback. YELLOW channel (upper 3 knobs) or RED channel (lower 3 knobs) are selected with the left foot switch.
- Battery or normal 9V power. Power jack in the center top.
- Low power consumption, 15mA, so an alkaline battery should last about 30 hours of use.
- Jacks are on the top of the pedal for efficient layout on pedalboards
- Input jack on the far right, unplug to disconnect battery
- Output jack on the far left
- EFFECTS LOOP is next to the input jack. Use a Y-cable (insert cable like optional HOSA STP-201) to run an effect only when the delay is ON, and only on the delayed signal. The dry sound will stay in the pedal, it won't pass through the effects loop.
- Modulation pedals are amazing in the loop.
--Or use a VOLUME pedal with a Y-Cable, or an expression pedal to control the level of the repeats. Pulling back all the way will kill the delay sound. You can also control the FEEDBACK somewhat, as lowering the repeats volume will reduce the feedback so you can easily control infinite delays. - DELAY TIME EXPRESSION jack is next to the output jack. Use a normal 10K Boss EV5 type expression pedal to control the delay time of the RED channel. This jack is also used for external options including tap tempo, modulation, multiple delay time preset boxes, etc.
- 600mS (.6 seconds) analog delay time, with clear, not dull, delay sounds. But not clean and bright like a digital delay. Most of the units actually get 650mS if you measure them. The delays are easily controlled for infinite feedback without runaway volume problems which can damage your speakers. 3:00 on the feedback will usually provide easily controlled infinite repeats. Minimum delay time is 36mS. Uses two select 3205 chips for best delay at 9V.
