A/DA flangers were highly regarded and endorsed by some respected players including Pat Travers in the late ‘70s and into the '80s. Unfortunately Analog/Digital Associates (A/DA) faded into obscurity years ago leaving prices of these first class flangers to skyrocket on eBay as collectors fight over any remaining units.
The good news is that David Tarnowski, the original owner and designer, has been working with effects guru Mike Piera (Analogman) over the last couple of years to manufacture and reissue the esteemed unit with a few valuable enhancements. Apparently, the signal path for the reissue is identical to the original and Panasonic (Matsushita) bucket brigade devices are still used for the analog delay. One nice new addition is that the reissue is now true bypass.
The reissues have been available since mid-January 2010 for $259.95. You can learn more at the Analogman web site.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThough Mike has been a great supporter and sounding board in our getting the 2009 A/DA Flanger reissue back to market, please note that the lion's share of the work was done by David and the small core team that makes up A/DA.
Thanks - ADA_Bill
