Maxon / Ibanez AD-230 Analogue Delay / Flanger

Maxon / Ibanez AD-230 analogue delay / flanger for sale.

Very uncommon, these were built to bring BBD tech into the professional studio with transformer balanced input and output, and deploying a whopping 15 MN3004 chips to get a very smooth sound and low noise floor - see the photo of the board.

The sound is quite different to what you may be used to with old analogue delays - much cleaner and more polished. This makes it ideal for some applications - and the flanger in particular benefits from the wonderful depth and clarity to the sound - but maybe not if what you actually want is a darker more gritty BBD effect :)

Serviced and ready for action.

Condition

Very good. Some wear to the edge of the face and other signs of age. See photos for more information.

Voltage Information

100v Japanese model - it will run on North American mains 115/120v without a transformer (we run all our tests using 120v power); however, a step-down transformer is recommended for extended use. A step-down transformer is required in the UK/EU. We do not recommend using cheap generic Chinese mains transformers and can supply a high quality UK-made unit if required.

Tax

For sales in UK the price will include 20% VAT. Buyers elsewhere may incur VAT or other local taxes on import.
