Description

Extremely clean Maxon AD-9 Delay, with Analogman mods. You can read about them below. Expertly placed velcro on the back.From AnalogmanMaxon AD-9 Analog Delay mods9/06 : Maxon discontinued the AD-9, Sold out, sorry! I do have a few old Ibanez AD9 pedals in stock, and may have one like new demo Maxon AD9 with our mod in stock.The Maxon AD-9 analog delays are cool because they have true bypass switches, are small, and run on a battery or a normal 9V dc adaptor. And the delay sound is AWESOME, one of the best analog delay sounds ever. But they have a slight volume drop and dullness in the dry signal when ON, so we tweek them to make them sound better. If you have all true bypass pedals or no pedals in front of the AD9, this mod will help a lot. The AD-9 has a DRY OUT jack and a normal output jack. A trick you can do is to stick a plug (like a George L's plug with no cable) into the DRY OUT jack if you want WET ONLY output out of the normal output. Or if you use both outputs, you will have only dry out of one and only delay out of the second.The AD-9 uses about 18mA of power. For more info on the AD9 and the other available analog delay that I like, the EH Deluxe memory man, See my FAQ .You can extend the delay time on the Maxon AD9 up to about half a second, but high notes on the guitar will sound like using a ring modulator, as the sampling rate will be too low. For playing the low strings, or bass guitar, it sounds pretty normal at these extra long delay times. But you might like the weird ring mod sounds for some things! If you max out the delay time trim pot, you can just back down the delay time knob and still get normal sounds, up to about 300mS.We can also do an EXPRESSION PEDAL MOD on this pedal, using the DRY OUTPUT jack for plugging in the expression pedal. Controlling the DELAY TIME is very cool and a normal 10K expression pedal will work fine. It's $50 for the EXP mod, and the pedal works normally when you do not have an EXP pedal plugged into it. It is possible to put a second (only one will fit) expression pedal jack in the battery area, or maybe on the side next to the other jack too.There is also a reissue Ibanez AD9 out now, which is cheaper as it is not true bypass and uses cheap delay chips. It does not sound as good with those chips. The Maxon and original Ibanez use VERY expensive, rare Panasonic chips- MN3205 4096 stage bucket brigade chip and MN3101 clock chip, just like the vintage delays, to get it's awesome sound. Here is an article from Legendary Tones comparing the Maxon to the Ibanez.If you have a Maxon AD-9 we can mod it for tone/volume for $35 plus S & H
