Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the Asheville Music Tools Analoger™ Series ADG-1 SE Special Edition Analog Delay. This pedal, engineered by renowned analog delay designer Hawker, features three reissue high voltage Bucket Brigade Delay lines for over 1.06 seconds of pure analog delay. The sophisticated control voltage topology and onboard Low Frequency Oscillator guarantee the best sound, features, and control available in any fully analog delay currently on the market.
Operation The ADG-1 SE front panel controls are nearly identical to the ADG-1 standard version. The only differences are in the Delay section, the LFO switch, and the additional Delay insert. DELAY MODULE The TIME knob adjusts the delay TIME: time from 16ms (1 BBD) to ~1.06s (3 BBDs).

LFO MODULE The ADG-1 SE LFO module is the same as our standard ADG-1. It contains a center off switch so that you may “kill” the modulation with the flick of a switch. Please note: due to internal offsets, the center off and the mod kill switch may give slightly different “off”...

ADG-1 Special Edition Presets: The following are ideas for setting your ADG-1 SE. Since all analog products have some variability, the exact knob setting may be slightly different from that shown in these presets. Experiment and enjoy. Reverberant Lead: Subtly modulated long delay with overdrive.

Springy Bubbles: Silly gurgling nonsense. Have fun and don’t laugh too hard, especially if you dial up the AMOUNT more. Pro Tip: Use an expression pedal on the RATE or AMOUNT to get audio rate modulation. Adjust AMOUNT or flip the wave shape for stuttering warbles like a broken film projector (younger players, ask your parents about 16mm school projectors)

Tin Pan Alley. A unique hollow, peaky sound that is more tonal than delay. Sounds like you are at the end of a tunnel talking through an old telephone. (Modulation off) Square Jumps: Tune this by ear (using AMOUNT and TIME controls) for a bouncy, whimsical octave echo or a chaotic, atonal warble!

Lead Fattener: Make your solo stand out of the mix. Bonus points if you turn your amp to 11. (Modulation off) Alternatively, try a hair of modulation with RATE around 12:00 and just a hair on the AMOUNT knob Lofi Vibes: Take advantage of the ADG-1's lush filter to construct a lo- fi vibrato evocative of vintage recordings.
