Analog Delay SE-ADL : A small but great pedal

I bought the Artec Analog Delay SE-ADL pedal to use it mainly for my live shows and as an additional pedal to my pedalboard for my lead guitar work onstage. In a recording studio situation the SE- ADL pedal is also very flexible and can be set up very fast with no fuss at all.

If set up properly, it can deliver a great superb vintage delay and echo sound.

I don't think that there's any other delay or echo pedal out there that can beat the price of this little analog delay pedal. The tone is warm and brighter than most pricy pedals out there. The top metal body shell is solid and eye catching and the vintage looking time, mix and repeat knobs are soft and easy to use for guitar pedal newbies.

When I had it for about three days in my studio, the battery cover was broken but this never did affect the total mechanical function of the pedal . I tapped it with ducktape and it worked perfectly again. Should one record live in a home studio, the switch button is so loud and making that horrible clicking noise, but the sound still sound great.

There's a noise and an unavoidable hiss occuring during a certain volume. Maybe this is only during live gigging. One overall master volume for the whole pedal would have been usefull because when one mix everything together, there's no way to controll and regulate the pedal overall volume properly but only have to rely on the volume of your musical instrument. Otherwise, a great sounding great little pedal. I like mine and do use it for all kinds of effect experiments on and of stage.
