Aria Digital Delay ADD-1
The Aria ADD-1 Digital Delay pedal generates delayed repeats of the input signal. Its Delay Time control sets the spacing between the original note and its echoes, while the Feedback control determines how many times the delayed signal repeats before fading out. The Effect Level control blends the dry, unaffected signal with the delayed signal in the output, allowing the user to balance the two. The pedal is designed for use with electric instruments and operates as a standard effects pedal in a signal chain.

- Review of the ADD-4 Digital Delay/Sampler, which was sold online under false pretenses of being an Arion pedal. I prefer the Arion DDS-1 which has no drop-out when switching between modes. The Aria has a 1 sec cut-out when switching which can be annoying. There are 4 delay and 4 sampling modes on the unit w/ delay times ranging from 5-1200 ms, sample 1 is the same as delay mode 4, sample 2 is a hold function which allows infinite repeat when engaged, though when "off" goes into delay mode, so no bypass on this setting unless you adjust the level control (despite this minor detail it's the most useful setting on the unit). Mode 3 is record/play, allows recording a sound sample w/ one-shot playback, switch to 4 after recording in 3 for repeated triggered playback of your sample. Only other complaint is the all plastic construction, though I have had no problems w/ similarly housed pedals. Should be relatively cheap and makes a great 2nd or 3rd delay, and the "sampling" section is worth the cost if you don't already have a pedal w/ those functions.
- Good Points: 4 delay and 4 sample modes, should be reasonably priced
- Bad Points: All plastic construction, drop-out when switching between modes
- Price Paid: US$40.00
- Purchased At: E-bay
