The Johnson Analog Delay has the greatest tone of vintage tape delay effects. Among the standard control of mix, repeat, and time is a quality control knob which allows you to specify how much natural distortion occurs with each repeat, allowing you to create the vintage old tape delay tone. Encased in a rugged metal housing with an extra large design for great durability. Control knobs are set at the top of the pedal to ensure you won't accidentally step on them when clicking on and off the pedal. Runs on one 9V battery (included) or a 9v AC Power Adapter (not included). If youÂ?re looking for full sounding analog delay without the high price then you've found it!

Way to go seller and Johnson! I am amazed!!! Jul 09, 2008

This is an update to the review underneath this revision. The first Johnson EAD pedal I got was defective, so I returned it to the seller and they tested it, found the same defect - a clicking sound that pulsed, and they cheerfully sent me a good unit. They made good on the deal and they tested the unit the day they got it and my new unit was sent out the next day. These pedals are so good and cost so little from this company that I am amazed.
If you look around, you'll find the Maxon AD9 and the Ibanez AD9 on Amazon. The Maxon pedal goes for $337.50 and the Ibanez costs between 140 and 150 depending on whom you buy it from. It came out in one of the guitar magazines that Maxon used to make the pedals for a number of brands. The pedals look identical. Can anyone, explain this? I find the prices of these pedals to be outrageous when you purchase them from the established companies.
Years ago, I finished my university education in Israel. I used to frequent all the music shops in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. I even saw kits for building your own effects that looked as good as any by Boss for example, but I am not much at soldering. Anyway, sometimes I noticed one brand marketed in the US bearing the name of a competitor in Israel. Obviously, one company was making the effects and other companies were just putting their label on it. And these were brand names that are popular in the USA.
Now, I am on Social Security benefits and I have very little money to invest in guitar equipment these days. I used my Tax Stimulus Check to fund the guitar equipment I bought. And due to this company's low priced pedals, I outfitted myself with a delay, a chorus (stereo no less) and a flanger for less than 1/3rd the cost of what MXR and Boss effects would cost me. It cost less than $150 for me to have about $500 dollars worth of effects.
Now the above-mentioned brands are very high quality too and I knw that the cost of marketing these wares impacts their final cost, but for right now, I got what I need very inexpensively.
And now, I have what I need to spice up my playing. I have been practicing about an hour per day again, which is good because I wasn't playing too much. These days, I play spiritual music and I am not into rock and roll any more.
I hope that Johnson starts manufacturing a wider range of equipment. I would like to see a phase shifter (Boss' unit had 12 stages last I checked), compressor/sustainer and other effects.

Well, the pedal came in the mail today, one day earlier than I expected it. The pedal works like a charm and it doesn't emit a pulsing sound. Not only this but Harmon gave me some money back to help defray the cost of my shipping the defective unit to them.
I can't say enough good things about this company and also Johnson effects.
The rating I am giving this transaction is a perfect 5. Both the seller (received 1 day after scheduled ship date) and the unit are great.
Now, the pedal itself is houseed in a rugged metal box. And the unit has 4 parameter controls unlike 3 that are the standard as per Boss's legendary DM-2 pedal (I had once of those) and also Ibanez.
Years ago, I had the Boss pedal and the Johnson unit is easily comparable. Boss doesn't manufacture this anymore and if they did, I would not be able to afford it on my current budget.
When digital IC chips came in, the chip for the analog units were discontinued. Musicians clamored for the analog unit's return. Finally, several years ago, our prayers were answered. Maxon (they used to make pedals marketed by other companies and they currently make several AD pedals. One of those AD pedals looks like an Ibanez pedal but cost a lot more), Ibanez, Moogfooger, and Behringer all make analog delay units. I wouldn't trade my Johnson for the Moogfooger despite the near $700 price.
In fact Ibanez's pedal goes for about 140 to 150 at Sam Ash or Musicians' Friend and I do a lot of comparison shopping now. Danelectro also makes low priced effects but I don't think they are as good as Johnson's.
The Johnson unit has 800 ms. of delay. The Behringer pedal (under $30) only has 300 ms. See the comparison. You get a lot of bang for your buck with Johnson.
I was so happy with the AD pedal that I just ordered a Johnson Stereo Chorus unit from a dealer off of Amazon. I would like to see them put out a lot of effects. It would bring the cost of oufitting myself up with the pedals down to Earth again.
I am satisfied beyond my wildest dreams. Way to Go Johnson and seller!!!
