Ibanez AD Mini
Ibanez · pedal
The Ibanez AD Mini is an ultra-compact analog delay pedal from Ibanez's Made-in-Japan Mini Series. A bucket-brigade analog circuit provides a delay range of 20ms to 600ms with three controls: Delay Time, Feedback, and Level. The fully analog signal path produces warm delay repeats that naturally darken across successive echoes in the manner of classic BBD delay units. True bypass.
