Ibanez AD202 – Vintage Analog Delay / Chorus / Flanger – BBD – 2U Rackmount – Made in Japan

The Ibanez AD202 is a highly desirable vintage 2U rackmount analog delay and modulation processor, produced in Japan during the early 1980s. Built around classic bucket-brigade device (BBD) technology, the AD202 uses Panasonic MN3005 and MN3007 delay chips to create the warm, organic character associated with vintage analog effects.

Far more than a traditional delay, the AD202 offers five different effect modes, making it a versatile studio processor for guitars, synthesizers, drum machines, and other electronic instruments.
