Indio AD-4 True Bypass Vintage Analog Delay Guitar Effect Pedal
Indio™ by Monoprice™
AD‑4 True Bypass Analog Delay
Guitar Effect Pedal
Considered the original delay stompbox, analog delay pedals replaced most tape delays by the late 70s and early 80s due to their practical form factor and more efficient design. Shortly after, digital delays took over, relegating analog delays to second place on the totem pole, due in part to their different delay times.
Fast forward to recent years and analog delays have made a comeback. Players rediscovered their warmer, darker sound that works perfectly to complement contemporary music. The Indio™ AD‑4 True Bypass Analog Delay Guitar Effect Pedal combines the original warmer tone of those 70s and 80s stompboxes, with modern, high‑end features, such as 350ms delay times and true bypass design.

ANALOG WITH UP TO 350MS DELAY
The Indio™ AD‑4 True Bypass Analog Delay Guitar Effect Pedal provides slightly more delay time (up to 350ms) than most original analog delay pedals. The expanded delay facilitates most common delay effects, short of creating loops (where loop pedals are probably best anyway).
Most importantly, the Indio AD‑4 True Bypass Analog Delay Guitar Effect Pedal keeps your tone intact by keeping your signal analog, with no digital conversion. It uses equivalent, high‑end components to replicate the sound of analog delays of the past, while keeping your signal clean whether engaged or bypassed.
TRUE BYPASS DESIGN AND FULL METAL CONSTRUCTION
Unlike most inexpensive guitar pedals, Indio™ pedals feature a true bypass design, keeping your tone pristine when not engaged. Other boutique guitar pedals featuring a true bypass design will cost several times more, while using the same components inside every Indio pedal.
Additionally, Indio true bypass guitar effects feature full metal construction, ensuring that they can withstand the rigors of the road. The full‑size housing provides enough separation on your board, reducing the crowding issues associated with inexpensive mini pedals.
VERSATILE POWER
Indio™ true bypass guitar effect pedals can be powered either by a 9V battery or an external power supply, making them both versatile and venue/scenario‑proof. Use the 611690 Stage Right™ 9V Power Supply for Guitar Pedals (available separately) when playing at home, in your practice space, or when power is easily accessible at the venue. Alternatively, you can use a 9V battery to be free from extra cables or when power outlets aren't accessible.
