Delta Labs Effectron Ii Manual
I used this in the aux loop of my mixer. I do electronic music (drone) and i used this mainly to process vocals. In this application the device is really great for 2 reasons: the tone is very warm and the modulation adds a pleasant thickness. The bad news is that the sampling rate is low so it's not going to get high frequency output (never tested its response exactly, but i'd guess it was something like 20hz-10khz).
I also noticed a faint digital hum/whirring way up in the high frequency and a kinda high noise floor generally which is annoying cuz the music i make sometimes has a large dynamic range, and I use digital recording devices, so the gremlins do make their appearance. I would say that the noise is at about -25db or so, and under most circumstances this will not be a problem, but for studio work it's not ideal.
Would have liked more repeats (I just used mixer feedback to get this effect.). It obviously survived long enough to get to me, but the first time i gigged with it (it had been in use in studio), it was cold and i, perhaps foolishly, put it in the trunk of my car with other gear and when i plugged it in for soundcheck it was experiencing some kind of weird internal feedback (with no input, it clipped immediately when the input was up above zero, making a squealing noise that would respond to modulation - if you think this is user serviceable contact me!). Kaput, no more effectron:(.
The Deltalab Effectron II ADM 1024 is a digital delay unit, of which I'm not sure what types of connections the 1024 has as the one that I have used was already racked up in the studio that I used it. The 1024 is cased in a single space rack mountable unit. UTILIZATION I don't find that using the Deltalab Effectron II ADM 1024 is too hard as everything is straight forward. You've got parameters for (left to right) level, feedback, delay rate (ms), delay factor, width, speed, and delay mix. Getting basic tones is quick and easy, although this can get pretty in depth and I did find that it took a little while to discover all of the possibilities that this versatile piece of gear has to offer. This being said, I don't believe that a manual is necessary unless you are a beginner. SOUND QUALITY The sounds heard from the Deltalab Effectron II ADM 1024 aren't the warmest sounding delays that I have heard, but its versatility and clean tone more than makes up for it.
I find that this is a great delay for both traditional delay tones and for experimentation. I've used the unit on all sorts of instruments and applications including electric guitar and vocals, both of which turned out to be a great fit for the 1024. I don't think that there are any applications that I wouldn't recommend at least trying this out on, as it has the capability to cater to all sorts of different sounds. Even though this is a digital delay that I don't find incredibly warm sounding, it also doesn't come off too digitally enhanced either.
Deltalab Effectron JR. Actually the same as Effectron 1024 (i checked, it's the same pcb) I like the bit crushed sound of that thing. Came with defective potentiometers.
Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition Mac Torrent. OVERALL OPINION Overall, the Deltalab Effectron II ADM 1024 is one of my favorite sounding digital delays. It is capable of getting so many different types of delay tones and is incredibly easy to use. I'm not really sure what type of price this usually goes for as the that I have used was in a single recording studio location.
If you're looking for a really cool sounding digital delay that isn't like all the rest of them out there, the 1024 is definitely something that you should consider.
