What is it? Ibanez DE7 Delay/Echo from 7/Tonelok series. Made in china around 1999-2002. Couple of Ibanez delays hold a few remarkable places in my personal favourites. The DE7 ranks very high on that list. I set up photos with two separate units, side by side, since while the electronics remain the same on both units…

Danelectro Wasabi AD-1 Forward/Reverse Delay
What is it? Danelectro Wasabi Forward/Reverse Delay. Made in china, 2003. Another prime example of Danelectro’s ability to create unique box designs. There are five designs for this series.. Or we should possibly talk about Wasabi as a separate brand. But we won’t. Everything about the pedal simply screams Danelectro, even though the Wasabi was…
Boss RV-3 Digital Reverb/Delay
What is it? Boss RV-3 Digital Reverb/Delay from compact series, made in taiwan. Serial number on grey label points to june 1991. But since the units were apparently manufactured from 1994 to 2002 and the label was changed from pink to grey in early 1999, i think it’s safe to assume this follows similar error…
Ibanez DDL20 Delay III
What is it? Ibanez DDL20 Delay III from Power series. Made in japan around mid 80’s. I should count the Ibanez delays. Yup. At least 18 different delay units are listed at the Effectsdatabase. Sure, this includes all the units from different series since 70’s, but that’s still a lot of delays. The features on…
Danelectro DTE-1 Reel Echo
What is it? Danelectro DTE-1 Reel Echo. Made in china in late 90’s. Talking about action packed pedal. The desktop housing is rather big, but i’d call this stylish. For the visual design, features and general build quality, this is really one of those must have Dano boxes. Even the surf green color is pleasing….
Ibanez SS20 Session Man II
What is it? Ibanez SS20 Session Man II Distortion/Delay multi-effect from Power series. Made in japan in mid 80’s. Ok. Apparently the first session man wasn’t a flop enough. Sharing parts of the design with the first Session Man “multi-effect”, this unit pairs a nasty, short delay to what appears to be the same distortion…
Ibanez DDL10 Delay II
What is it? Ibanez DDL10 Delay II from Power series. Made in japan around mid 80’s. Power series has way too many delays. What makes this fact even more sad is that these are all interesting designs. And most of them differ from others, so it’s a painful series to collect. To begin with, Delay…
Nux MF6 Digital Multi FX
What is it? Nux MF6 Digital Multi FX from the Nux First Series. Made in china in 00’s. Whole Nux pedal line has been quite interesting line. Some of the designs are straight rip offs, but while the underlying design may be just that, the rest is well engineered and somewhat original. The “First Series”,…
Danelectro DJ-17 PB & J Delay
What is it? Danelectro DJ-17 PB & J (peanut butter & jelly) Delay from mini series. Made in china around early 00’s. I thought i was getting a slightly used unit through ebay listing. Apparently not. It is in original blister packaking with only one of the corners slightly torn. Packaking indicates that this unit…
Ibanez EM5 Echo Machine
What’s a better way to continue after DL5 than the other delay/echo from the same series… What is it? Ibanez EM5 Echomachine in plastic enclosure from later soundtank series. Made in taiwan around 1997-99. The Internet Archive’s wayback machine has a snapshot of Ibanez site from june 1997 and on that page there is a…
