Members scaryfried Posted September 1, 2009 Members Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hey, a friend has offered this pedal, virtually new in box to me for $150AUD (about $120USD). I've been gassing for a delay that can self-oscillate fairly easily and sounds warm, and more colours the tone to create an ambience than any complete reproduction type of delay. I've not heard anything about these delays before, but do you think this is a decent price? It sounds like what I'm looking for. Thanks heaps.

Members gambit Posted September 1, 2009 Members Share Posted September 1, 2009 noiseguide review says it "self oscilates with ease" http://www.noiseguide.com/product_info/guyatone_analog_delay_adx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scaryfried Posted September 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2009 That's where I read that as well. It also mentions being analog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gambit Posted September 1, 2009 Members Share Posted September 1, 2009 maybe there's some confusion with the tube echo version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scaryfried Posted September 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2009 Do you think the tube echo version is the analog and the s.o'ing one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ambient Posted September 1, 2009 Members Share Posted September 1, 2009 Pretty short delay time, and it makes sense AD-x being 'Analog Delay'. Could be cool, I reckon you could sell it on ebay australia for what you pay for it if you don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bieke Posted September 1, 2009 Members Share Posted September 1, 2009 yup, it's digital/analog hybrid pedaluses the same digital delay circuit as the MD-3 Microdelaythe TD-X uses a frequency filtering system combined with a tube to achieve an analog delay soundit seems quite versatile, with 2600msecs of delay and a it seems to be like a cheaper alternative to the T-Rex Replica, with a tubenever actually seen/tried one, kind of rare actually, because it never really made it into the shops ... the other Flip series tube pedals are also not too common, but the AD-X only pops up for sale once in a while120 seems a bit expensive, but it will probably be worth it(i'd try to hassle it down to 100$ US) EDIT : got them TD-X and AD-X mixed upAD-X seems all analog, and only has 200 msecs, hmmm that's perfect for slapback and short echobut not really all that versatile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gambit Posted September 1, 2009 Members Share Posted September 1, 2009 Do you think the tube echo version is the analog and the s.o'ing one? i tlooks like the analog one is analog. only from a quick glance at that noiseguide page where it says maimum of 200ms. that sounds like analog delay. yeah, the tube echo is 2600ms. that's definitely digital delay... i think Seif was thinking of that one. Seif? :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scaryfried Posted September 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2009 Okay, to be honest, it's actually on eBay - no one steal it from me though please So is the concensus that it's analog? I'd much prefer an analog than a analog / digital hybrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ambient Posted September 1, 2009 Members Share Posted September 1, 2009 This is what I can gather...is it just me or is thread confusing itself? Ad-x - analog -200ms =/= TD-x analog/digital - 2600ms The one you are looking at is the AD-X right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scaryfried Posted September 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yeah, looking at the AD-X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members scaryfried Posted September 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 2, 2009 Does anyone know of a way to show myself what 200ms delay is like? I can't think of how long it would go for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zer0beaT Posted September 2, 2009 Members Share Posted September 2, 2009 I think the milliseconds of a delay is the time between each repeat/echo. So 200ms would be pretty fast repetitions. I don't think it has anything to do with how long the pedal will go on echoing for. But I could be wrong about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gambit Posted September 2, 2009 Members Share Posted September 2, 2009 200ms is very short for me. do you have any recording software? record yourself playing something/load up a tune - go into the wave editor and you should be able to see how long 200ms is.. play that on a loop.. personally even the Boss DM-2 at 300ms was too little for me. i generally go somewhere between 350ms to 500ms for my standard delays.

Members scaryfried Posted September 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 2, 2009 I was able to load up Revalver Standalone and muck around with Re-Lay 4 and get some cool sounds out of it when not turning the delay more than 200ms. Do you think if I bought it, I'd be able to sell it for the same price again? Would I be getting ripped off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gambit Posted September 2, 2009 Members Share Posted September 2, 2009 i wouldn't know.. i've never seen one in my years of ebay scouring to know what a respectable used price is. sorry bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scaryfried Posted September 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 2, 2009 No problem - thanks for your help Another question though - the amp I use is a Laney TF300 which has one pre-amp valve, it's actually a great amp, but some times it seems a bit sterile... it's a long shot, but do you think if I had this in the effects loop the valve would warm it up a bit? The pedal uses a 12AX7. Also, do you know how many repeats this would have? Would it be just one, like DA da, or have a few like DA da da da da da... hopefully that makes sense. Haha. Thanks EDIT: How many ms. did you have your DOD FX-90 on your sound clips set on? The delay towards the start of that clip is the type of sound I'm going for (15 - 30 secs?. Great clips, by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gambit Posted September 2, 2009 Members Share Posted September 2, 2009 i'm not sure if running a valve delay in an fx loop is a good idea or not to be honest.. hopefully can help you with that. there should be a decent amount of repeats. especially if it goes into oscillation.. that's effectively an infinite number of repeats. on the FX-90, i think the very start might be 280ms or so.. 1:10min is probably about 200ms at a guess.

Members scaryfried Posted September 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 2, 2009 ^ It would be fine running it in front of the amp though, of course? Would it matter if I put a tubescreamer in front or behind the delay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
