Searched Ibanez AD9 Analog Delay in Reviews

Give me analog warmth over the sterile digital any day--Ibanez style!

Ease Of Use	Simple 3-knob layout, one input, and two outputs--out ans dry out. The knobs are spaced far enough apart for easy tweaking. The battery compartment is the nice pop off type typical of the Ibanez 9-series. The footswitch is easy to operate with minimal force applied.
Sound	Oooooh, that analog warmth! Most people swear by digital delays--maybe it's hype. I'll take an analog delay any day! This AD9 is no exception. I get some really sweet delays with that analog warmth. Digital pedals sound, well--too "digitized." This analog delay has a very organic tone to it. You also don't lose the flavor of your tone going into the AD9--it retains the original characteristics of whatever effects you have in front of it. I tried this out with several guitars with various pickups with the same results. I tried the pedal towards the end of a chain of pedals going straight to my B-52 head's input, and also through the effects loop. The AD9 sounded great in both places.
Reliability	Typical Ibanez 9-series metal chassis with tough metal footswitch.
Customer Support	N/A

Liked about it	The natural warmth of the analog delay. Not losing any characteristics of the other effects in my signal chain. It sounded great through my amp's effects loop and straight to the input.
Didn't like	Nothing.
