Check out this 1980's digital delay (+chorus, echo, double...) unit: a classic effects processor from the exciting early days of digital recording gear. See the video for examples of the unit in action (Note: the unit in the video is a slightly different model, but has the same basic functions). ADM = "Adaptive digital modulation".
This is one of those units that has stood the test of time: even when technology advances by leaps and bounds, good tone and good design never goes out of style. You can google the unit to see all kinds of in-depth reviews of the unit (see CatalinBread's website for example).
This particular item is in excellent condition- just some basic nicks and scratches on the casing, but clean on the front.
From GearSpace:
The Effectron was part of the first wave of digital gear to hit studios in the early 1980s. RAM was super-expensive so many units had short delay times and were designed for chorus, flanging, phasing and doubling. The Effectron II ADM 64 is a prime example of this
Deltalab was part of the booming Massachussetts hi-tech audio industry of the 1970s and 80s along with the likes of Lexicon & Bose. In 2016, Akamai, Analog Devices, B&W and THAT Corporation are prominent Mass manufacturers
Founder of Deltalab, Richie DeFreitas, holds a number of patents for “An electrical system of the type in which a digitally encoded signal is determined at least in part by the difference between a present value of an input signal and a reference signal representative of a past value of the input signal”. Otherwise known as Delta-encoding, this was one of the key technologies enabling digital audio
In use, Effectrons are quirky, entertaining devices with lots of character. By varying the modulation depth & speed it can produce effecst from a slow phase, via a deep flange and a warbling chorus right through to a pitch-bending, gargling, modulated delay. They have a unique sound and definite mojo.

Gordy's Music has become a Detroit institution! Our shop was used as a filming location for the recent "Miracle in Motor City" Christmas movie on Lifetime (featuring Smoky Robinson). We've supplied gear for movies including "Bill & Ted Face The Music" with Keanu Reeves. We've got decades of celebrity customers, including recent visits from Beck, Eric Johnson, and we just sold Billy Joel's bassist an SG he is in love with. Just last month 2-9-2024, Andre 3000 and his group stopped in to browse as they were playing Masonic Temple that night and right after that 2-12-2024 we sold an old oil can Morley Wah Vibrato pedal to Credence Clearwater Revival's thee John Fogerty!
We are having and have had a lot of fun here at Gordy's Music! I was just remembering about 35 years ago a tour bus pulled up to our little shop, and who rolls right in and hangs out for an hour? Lenny Kravitz and his entire group, right about the same time I was selling guitars and chauffeuring around Dee Dee Ramone, who had an apartment a block down from my house
