Ibanez Analog Guitar Effects of the early 80s

Above: the Ibanez AD202 c. 1981.  A multimode analog delay with modulation section.  I had one of these in maybe 1994 and it was a phenomenally great unit.  What on earth did I do with it? No idea where it ended up.   It had this great crunch to it when it overloaded.

Above, the Ibanez UE-400 and and UE-405, also c. 1981: 4x analog rack-mount multi-effects units.  I found a UE-405 (the one with Delay) with the pedal+ a rack case in a Minnesota Guitar Center in maybe 2003?  I paid about $150.  I used it on a few tracks and sold it when I moved apartments.  Bad move, even at a big profit…  another great unit that I wish I had kept.  BTW, above, I love that dude is using his UE-40X’s with a blond Fender Bassman piggyback.  Pretty good, pretty good…

Above: the complete Ibanez FX lineup of 1984, right before the transitioned to the single-rackspace digital units.  I recently found the ‘bass’ pedal-board unit (compressor, flanger, and envelope filter) for $60 at the flea market.  Which seemed expensive, but I was given many assurances.  Dude totally ripped me off!  It had some weird distortion issue that I could not easily diagnose.  To the transfer station with that one.  Caveat emptor…Above, an ad for root beer, bad denim, and hairspray c. 1988.  I think they lost my interest by this point.
