A recent acquisition, the Maxon AD-9 Pro is bar none my favorite analog delay. Problems frequently associated with analog delays such as hiss and general noise are virtually nonexistent. Different from many of the popular delays on the market leaning more towards the loop and tap tempo echo, the AD-9 Pro only allows up to 450ms. This type of delay is used more for the traditional "slap-back" echo sounds and that of early echoes such Pink Floyd's earlier works. With both a dry and wet output, I run this through a Hiwatt Custom 7 combo, and an original 1982 Fender Super Champ respectively. Even with the presence of several IC's the AD-9 Pro has a very rich, warm sound. Especially considering the price, at roughly $300, I would take this over any comparable unit on the market.
