The Maxon AD-9 Pro Analog Delay is a pedal intended for electric guitar, but suitable for use with other electric instruments. This pedal is very similar in look and make up to the Ibanez AD-9, so the comparisons will be obvious. The AD-9 has a simple make up, with a jack and battery compartment for 9 nine power to go along with 1/4" connections for input, output, and an extra dry output. The pedal isn't in any way rack mountable as it's a pedal.
UTILIZATION
It's easy to use the Maxon AD-9 Pro Analog Delay as it's only got a few parameters to be aware of. It has three knobs for controlling delay time, delay level, and feedback. Each is capable of changing the tone pretty drastically, but it's not hard to use in general and a manual won't be necessary for most users.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound of the Maxon AD-9 Pro Analog Delay is pretty unbelievable. It's certainly up there with the best sounding analog delay pedals that I've used, but isn't the best. It's got a very defined sound that is quite realistic as far as analog delay pedals go. In my experience, it's a better pedal than the Ibanez AD-9, as it just sounds fuller and more authentic overall, although the Ibanez model is also solid for the price. This is a great analog delay pedal for any player's rig.
OVERALL OPINION
While not the cheapest pedal out there, the Maxon AD-9 Pro Analog Delay is going to be worth the price if you're looking for a top tier analog delay pedal to use on a consistent basis. I think it just depends on what you're doing with the pedal, but for professionals who are recording and gigging, having a Maxon AD-9 definitely makes a big difference. I don't own one of these as it's still a bit out of my price range, but it's definitely something I'm going to consider once I'm able to afford it...
