Pearl AD-33 (198X)

Pearl AD-33

Trend price : 150€

Stompbox guitar effect combining 2 interchangeable analog delays based on bucked brigade chips.

Overview
Main panel features 6 knobs and 2 switches that alternates 2 delays.
Rear panel terminal connectors:
- footswitch (same as frontal)
- mixed out
- dry out
- input



Voice
standard effect based on bucked brigades MN3005. Delay time range is from 20 to 350 ms for each echo section I and II, the drawback is that these delays cannot be chained in serial but just alternated between I and II.

Effect
several available parameters:
- input : sets the incoming signal level
- delay level: adjusts volume of echoes
- delay Time adjusts the delay time
- feedback: is the regeneration, numbers of delays
Input and delay level are common for both delay I and II while time and feedback are individual.

Review
OK: delay settings / good sound
NOT : not really a double delay
"Wrongly considered as a true double delay effect, the add 33 is still pretty rare. It does sound nice and warm"

cool
