Artec Analog Delay SE-ADL

408

Effect Pedal

The company Artec is a relatively new star in the effect device market and can be described by its solid quality and really interesting prices. The team around mastermind Byoung-Yul Lim in the last two years was very busy developing an independent range of analog pedals and combo amplifiers. The result is excellent and it does not need to shy away from international comparison. Published test reports in professional journals make a clear statement on the quality.

The Delay SE-ADL is an analog delay that brings up the very popular warm, analog sounds of the early 80's. Sound is somewhere between tape echo and accurate, but often sterile digital delay sound. With a maximum delay of 440 mS it is well equipped for most cases. It has adjustable delay time, mix and number of repetitions. And the price? Sensational!

A small but great pedal
Anonymous 25.04.2016
I bought the Artec Analog Delay SE-ADL pedal to use it mainly for my live shows and as an additional pedal to my pedalboard for my lead guitar work onstage. In a recording studio situation the SE- ADL pedal is also very flexible and can be set up very fast with no fuss at all.
If set up properly, it can deliver a great superb vintage delay and echo sound.

I don't think that there's any other delay or echo pedal out there that can beat the price of this little analog delay pedal. The tone is warm and brighter than most pricy pedals out there. The top metal body shell is solid and eye catching and the vintage looking time, mix and repeat knobs are soft and easy to use for guitar pedal newbies.

When I had it for about three days in my studio, the battery cover was broken but this never did affect the total mechanical function of the pedal . I tapped it with ducktape and it worked perfectly again. Should one record live in a home studio, the switch button is so loud and making that horrible clicking noise, but the sound still sound great.
There's a noise and an unavoidable hiss occuring during a certain volume. Maybe this is only during live gigging. One overall master volume for the whole pedal would have been usefull because when one mix everything together, there's no way to controll and regulate the pedal overall volume properly but only have to rely on the volume of your musical instrument. Otherwise, a great sounding great little pedal. I like mine and do use it for all kinds of effect experiments on and of stage.

Been using this pedal on my board all day since it arrived.

Does it delay? Absolutely. Is it worth it? I'll get to that.

The pedal itself is well-presented in a sleek little box, and is held in place by a little foam ring on the inside. The build quality of the pedal itself is pretty decent, die-cast metal, a clicky footswitch, some rubber tread on the bottom and some fairly solid feeling pots. It even came with a 9-volt battery ready to go in the battery box; nice.

The interface is pretty simple and self-explanatory, the amount of delay you want, how much of it you want in the mix, and how long you want the delay to last (which if cranked fully, will soon begin to feedback into infinity and blow your face off).

There are problems with the pedal however, as when I first plugged in it made a horrific shrieking noise, which was quickly solved by using a battery. There also appears to be some trapped static in the pots, every time I turn them there's hissing and crackling. It also seems to struggle when dealing with higher outputs, leading to occasional volume spikes. However this has turned out not too badly in My case, as I enjoy sound design using signal artifacts and faults in My projects.

For Me, this pedal wasn't a huge loss, but if you're in the market for high quality, crystal-clear delay pedals, then I'd hold on to your pennies.

Well, obviously you do not geht the sound of a really high class analog delay with this pedal, but for this price the sound is really good in my opinion.

I use it for a few of my acoustic songs, nothing too fancy where you really need a high class system - but for that it is enough. Not as good as the real analog delays (i do not really think that the arctec pedal is really analog..), but alright for me.

The exteriour is made of metal, not plastic like other pedals which are more cheap are made of -> the quality in general is really good!

I have been using this pedal on my board all the time since I decided to buy it.

The sound is interesting... is it worth it? I'll get to that.

The build quality of the pedal itself is pretty decent, die-cast metal, a clicky footswitch, some rubber tread on the bottom and some fairly solid feeling pots.

There are problems with the pedal however, every time the delay circuit it's triggered a quite annoying shrieking noise is audible.

There also appears to be some trapped static in the pots, every time I turn them there's hissing and crackling. It also seems to struggle when dealing with higher outputs, leading to occasional volume spikes.

For Me, this pedal wasn't a huge loss, but if you're in the market for high quality, crystal-clear delay pedals, then I'd hold on to your pennies.
