Up for sale is a collector-grade, vintage 1980s Arion DDS-4 Digital Delay / Sampler in absolute mint condition. This unit comes 100% complete in its original box with the manual and all original printed materials ("case candy").

Finding vintage Arion pedals in this condition is incredibly rare, as their plastic enclosures were prone to heavy wear. This specific unit has been meticulously preserved and looks like a time capsule piece from the mid-80s.

Condition Details:

• Cosmetics: Mint condition. The casing, graphics, and knobs are pristine with no scratches, scuffs, or blemishes.
• Battery Compartment: Perfectly clean. The plastic battery door tabs are completely intact (a common failure point on these models), and there is zero battery acid leakage or corrosion.
• Functionality: 100% fully functional. All knobs, jacks, and switches work perfectly. The 4-second lo-fi sampler and delay functions sound exactly as they should—warm, gritty, and full of vintage character.

What’s Included:

• Arion DDS-4 Digital Delay / Sampler pedal
• Original Arion factory box (clean, sharp corners, minimal shelf wear)
• Original instruction manual
• Original printed warranty/promotional inserts

This is a rare opportunity for effects collectors or lo-fi enthusiasts to own a complete, museum-quality piece of 1980s Japanese pedal history.

Shipping: Will be packed with extreme care (bubble-wrapped and double-boxed) to ensure the original factory box is not damaged in transit. Insured shipping with tracking.
