Product information

The ADG-1 delivers lush analog delay tones with up to 700ms of musical repeats and deep control, from slapback to swirling ambient textures.


The ADG-1 wasn’t just built, it was obsessed over. With over 400 carefully chosen components under the hood, it’s a pure analog delay designed for players who care about every nuance of their tone. At its core: a pair of Xvive™ MN3005 BBDs and a high-voltage power supply, offering massive headroom and rich, tape-like echoes.

Everything in the signal path - from the premium audio-grade op amps to the low-noise, non-microphonic caps - is chosen for clarity, stability, and tone.

The preamp section features a high-impedance JFET input, great for everything from single-coils to synths, and it can even act as an always-on buffer. Want to push the delay line into subtle overdrive or analog chaos? It can do that, too.

The modulation and feedback sections are equally refined. Analog all the way down - clock generation, modulation LFO, switching logic - you name it. Dial in infinite repeats without runaway, or coax blooming oscillations with real-time control via expression or CV input.

Even the power supply was overbuilt with intention. A high-frequency step-up design ensures ultra-low noise and total isolation between clock, LFO, and signal path, while comprehensive input protection keeps things quiet and reliable on stage or in the studio.

Bottom line? The ADG-1 is a deep, beautifully engineered analog delay with character, clarity, and a feel that only comes from something this thoughtfully made.
