IBANEZ AD-190 TIME MACHINE

Ibanez AD-190 in good cosmetic condition and excellent working order.

These don’t come up for sale very often, and having spent a long time tracking one down, it wasn’t hard to understand why. Ibanez made some of the best BBD echo pedals and delay units back in the late seventies and early eighties – a combination of low noise floor (for analogue delays) and a great sonic texture makes them very sought-after today.

The AD190 is a great analogue delay/flanger in standard form, but this custom-modified version takes things to another level. You can still use it as intended, but in addition it is capable of some amazing and otherwise hard to replicate effects. It’s been modified to allow modulation of the delay using the ‘flanger only’ Width and Speed controls, together with the delay Regeneration and Time controls. The results are unusual and possibly sonically unique – we’ve not come across another analogue unit that can do this.
