Members Teahead Posted August 19, 2005 Members Share Posted August 19, 2005 I don't think the AD900 works like that, Mitch. I'm pretty sure the blend pot is only capable of giving you repeats equal to the volume of the direct guitar, so you can never get 100% wet with it. I could be wrong, but I think it's to reduce noise. I know that the Ibanez AD80, which can get 100% wet, is often modified to be like the AD900's blend pot, in order to reduce noise. Mike at www.analogman.com offers a few AD900 mods, he might be able to do this for you, maybe send him an email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's it called, level, mix? Something else? I'm guessing here! Does turning the delay level all the way up give 100% wet signal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD-900 D-time repeat D-level AD9's same layoutAD-80 D-time blend repeat AD-900 turning the delay level up all the way gives louder delay & repeats but still most of the dry signal. AD-80 turning the blend pot up all the way you get no dry singnal only delay and repeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case I say contact Analogman... It could well be a simple enough mod, since I'm currently having my Ibanez AD80 tweaked to remove the 100% wet option and make the blend control into a delay level control, like the 900, it should work in reverse? As I mentioned above, it reduces noise and I don't use anything over 50% blend, so it gives me greater control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members basscracker Posted August 19, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 19, 2005 thanks teahead,lets hear about the mod when you get your pedal back?i might want to try the opamp & bypass mod on my AD-80.have you ever tried the AD-9,the AD-9's D-level sounds like what your getting in your mod.

Members Teahead Posted August 19, 2005 Members Share Posted August 19, 2005 Nah, my AD80 has kept me satisfied and I've just never felt the need to try the AD9. I'm really looking forward to hearing the pedal after tweaking, I'll post something when it comes home. I always thought it produced the most beautiful tones, but mine started to become unreliable so it was time for a tune up anyway, I thought I might as well get the mods at the same time.
