The Ibanez AD9 Analog Delay is a classic vintage delay pedal from the legendary Ibanez 9-Series, produced in Japan and widely admired for its warm, musical analog echoes. Known for its rich bucket-brigade delay sound, the AD9 delivers everything from subtle ambience to lush, repeating echoes that naturally sit within a guitar’s tone. This particular unit, serial number 226855, is an original Made in Japan version from the golden era of Ibanez effects production. Please note that this pedal is missing the battery cover.
Controls include Delay Time, Repeat, and Delay Level. The Delay Time sets the length of the delay, the Repeat knob controls the number of echoes from a single repeat to near self-oscillation, and the Delay Level determines the mix between dry and delayed signal. This straightforward control layout makes it easy to dial in everything from classic slapback sounds to spacious ambient textures.
Celebrated for its warm and organic character, the AD9 has become a favorite among guitarists who appreciate authentic analog delay tones. Its vintage Japanese craftsmanship and distinctive sound continue to make it a highly desirable pedal for both players and collectors.
