RE: analog delays

[Hans Lindauer <hans@ernieball.com>]

I have both of the Ibanez units you mentioned, and I like them both.  

The AD202 is pretty full-featured, with delay, flange, stereo chorus, and
doubling modes.  The modulation section is what I like about it.  It's also
very quiet.  A local music store has another one of these for about $150, 
if
I remember correctly.  It works well either in-line or on a send, and it 
has
two inputs: mic and instrument (both 1/4"), which are selectable.

The UE405 is more of a multi-effects unit, which is also cool, but the 
delay
section only has controls for delay time, regen, and blend.  The regen
control on mine goes way past unity.  This one isn't so quiet, and it
requires the footswitch to operate.  I tried using this one on an effect
send, which works for delay, but the rest of the effects aren't very wet, 
so
they work best in-line.

I'm not sure how to access the stereo chorus on these units.  I'd have to 
do
some investigation, but the outputs may be TRS. (Anyone with info on this?)

Hi - I'm looking at few different  models of analog delay, none of which I
am familiar with in a good way. The models are as follows:

Yamaha e1010
Yamaha e1005
Ibanez AD202
Ibanez UE405

Any quick opinions?

into "may you always spit mad game at the honeys."
