Ibanez DL10 Digital Delay

SIMPLE !!! No Degree required

Sounds GREAT!! I have tried many many delay pedals and this thing Is natural , warm and NOT Digital at all. I dont know what the guy below is complainging about. He probably needs a rack effect but is too cheap to buy one.. loser. The delays are a little short but who needs 5 minute delays anyway ? Just gets in the middle of playing. I love the lowering of the volume on this. For a pedal this thing is rates at least an 8.

Perfect never has let me down and I beat it never will

Never Need it

I would have known how good this thing was without buying it. It gives great U2 type delays not digital 24bit clean but not messy. Perfect value. Better then paying $$$ For boss sterile digital.

Easy, indeed, very easy!

No mentionable noise.
Sounds very neutral (not vintage, not digital).
Works between guitar and amp or in the amp's fx-loop.

Only reason for this review:
1) IT HAS A VERY VERY SHORT DELAY-TIME (ca. 500-600ms)
2) THE DELAYS DECREASE IN VOLUME IN A VERY STRANGE FASHION.
Dial in 5 Repeats and listen to the volume between the 3rd and 4th
Repeat - very irritating while playing!

For these two reasons i'll give it a bad rating.
i need longer delay-times and natural-decreasing repeats,
i'll sell this one right now.

Metal housing.
Unit eats up batteries for breakfast.

No need for!

Wouldn't hav bought it, if i've found somewhere in the www
comments on the very short delay-time.
So, be aware of this fact right now!
It's a very cheap delay-unit, which might be ok for single-repeat,
short delay-time slapback echos. I'll sell this and go for the new ibanez de7 delay.

Peachy keen. larger knobs for more accuracy would be appreciated, but oh well. gets the job done.

This was my first pedal. It one of a gift of three- the other two being an Arion flanger and an OLD 18v DOD chorus. Sounds beautiful. I've used it on acoustic for a reverb, used it for a country western "slapback", used it on herculean guitar solos to fill the room with notes... Solid, man, solid.

one of the wires disconnected from the battery connector, but who cares? i always run it with adapters anyway. so other than that, it's money. stomp on it, it turns on. stomp again, she's off.

I'll tell you what, I was lucky to have this gem (and my flanger) fall into my lap. I love it. I've been playing for seven years now, and this always seems to find its way into my effects chain. I do wish it had infinite delays, and I do wish it would allow me to play over the loop without it recording what I'm playing, but hey, we're not looking at Boss here. For what I do, this thing is perfect.

What do I do? Every style you can probably think of I've performed at one time or another. My effects rig has included a Crybaby, Ernie Ball volume, Morley PVW wah, DOD supra distortion (ah to be young and buy stupid things), arion flanger, Boss EQ, Rogue EQ (as a booster), and Ibanez compressor/sustainer. I play an Epi LP Standard and a Cort Strat clone which I've modded into a Fender Power Chorus 2x12 combo. I'm looking for a new distortion to give me a little more flexibility than my Fender allows... let me know if anyone has any ideas or suggestions.

I have found this unit to be very easy to use. The delays are easily set up. The only part I don't like is you have to change the settings manually each time for each song. A rack mount type would improve on it but this unit is great for recording

I am using a Strat into a Crate amp. I find there is very little noise with the delay. The effects is very good overall.

I can certainy depend on it but I don't use it for gigging. A single settings is a bit too limiting. I have never had a problem with reliability but the little bugger eats batteries. Get an adapter.

Never had to worry about it.

Metal and hard rock. This is a pretty good match.

it does sound pretty digitsl, but in most situations live this wont be noticed, in the studio, use something better. very quiet. very versatile

i do rely on it, however i dont use it much these days. the plastic pedal bit looks weak but has lasted really well.

n/a

it has been a godsend in certain situations, esp church and ambient jams, realy is inspiriational and can help to emulate the U2 sound with the right sound from your giutar and amp. it's wild buy for the price, but i don't think they make them anymore. i think all the ibanez stuff now is in that cheap soundtank casing. they just dont make them like they used too..

This pedal is very straight-forward. It's got 3 control knobs.One for delay length, one for repeat time and one for level.

I play my "Jaguar" strat copy (better than a real strat in my opinion) through this pedal and a DOD Classic Fuzz and run it through a Fender Princeton 60 Reverb and then through a Fender 150-watt P.A. and it sounds great. My band's into making cool sounds with our instruments and this really works for that. Just play one quarter note and then start screwing around with the controls. Lots of possibilities fo this pedal.

The only thing wrong with this pedal is that there is no place to plug in a 9 volt battery, so I've gotta use the AC from my wah-wah pedal. I doubt that every pedal is like this though, mine's probably just a defect.

Never dealt with them

My band plays a mix of New Metal/Alternative/Classic Rock/Blues. I've been playing guitar for 6 years, my drummer's been playing drums for about 8 or 9 years and my bassist has been playing for about 3 years. If this pedal got stolen or lost, I would definatly steal another one. (he he he)

I bought it used, so no instruction manual. But it's easy to use. One knob for delay time, one for number of delays and one for echo volume.

Very reliable. I use an AC Adapter so I don't have to worry about batteries.

Never had to.

It's fun to play around with. If you crank the repeat and volume knobs then hit a note and tweak the delay time knob, you can get some crazy ass space age sounds! I like that it has two outputs, a regular and a dry out. I often plug each one in to an input on my amp, with a distortion box or wah after the delay. That way I can get a distorted note with a clean echo, or vice versa. By playing around and doing different things you can come up with some interesting ideas. The only thing I would caution is that you keep the number of delays down, or else you can end up with a jumbled heap of notes clashing all over each other, especially if the repeat volume is high. Also, a long delay can be difficult to play over, especially with solos. But its nice to know you have the capacity for long delays if you ever want it.

3-knobs, no manual because it was a pawnshop gem of a steal

this thing kicks ass! subtle to dramatic degrees of delay... a great feature that I discovered by accident was an amazing "slapback" sound right out of Sun studios------ perfect for country, rockabilly, or slide/lappers

soundtanks are just that!

haven't had to get support, yet

this motherfucker is a straight-up 10

Easy to use, 3 knobs. Suitable for all ages.

Not too noisy at all, the only delay pedal I've owned so I can't compare it to others. I'm wanting to duplicate the delay sound in Neil Young's Mirrorball but can't seem to get it.

I bought it used 3.5 years ago and no problems. I use generic power adapters and even a $3 Radio Shack transistor radio 9V adapter and the box still sounds good.

Never dealt with them

Sounds good, works good, price was right. I am curious as to how old it is and when they stopped production on them.
