| Man, no one's talked about the Effectron III yet (the ADM 1030). That's a really great box. It's similar to the 1024 in function, but includes an internal memory bank for storing the knob settings in four different positions. This is great for doing mix recalls like a week later or something. I've got two IIIs and a II and love them all. I really want to find an Echotron.
Delta Lab also made a series of really interesting boxes for delaying PA speakers that had XLR I/Os and a much cleaner-sounding signal path then the Effectrons. They're also dark grey. The two versions I've seen were the single-tap ADM 310 (I think) and the one-in, three-out ADM 465. The 465 has push-button selectors of something like 2ms, 5ms, 10ms and 20ms. The selectors become additive, so if you push in 2ms, 5ms, and 20ms, you get 27ms of delay on output #1. The same pushbutton selectors occur on the other two outputs and are also additive, so if you've got 27ms of delay at output #1 and you select 5ms for output #2 and 2ms and 10ms for output #3, you'll get 32ms of delay at output #2 and 44ms of delay at output #3. These boxes are cool for single-tap, slap-type delays or for messing with the stereo image.
