REVERB: This knob functions like the repeats on any echo unit; it feeds back the wet output back into the input of the delay line. On oil can delays and the ADINEKO, the repeats quality smears into a soupy, foggy texture due to the low fidelity of the record medium and the fact that the echoes are always modulating.

BLEND: This control allows you to mix between 100% wet and 100% dry signals. The original units featured tube preamp stages; the ADINEKO’s preamp stages are tuned to provide very much the same experience as a healthy example of an original unit.

VISCOSITY: Controls the modulation depth.

TIMING: A majority of original oil can units have a fixed rotation speed, hence a fixed delay time and fixed vibrato time (there were models with a mechanical motor brake to slow it down); however, the actual maximum delay time was very short, ranging from 80-120ms. The ADINEKO extends your modulated delay time up to one second.

BALANCE: Original units had a short and long echo playback head selectable by a pair of slider switches or a rotary switch that allowed the user to select one or the other, or both on at the same time. We expanded upon this concept by putting the playback heads on a continuous mixer, allowing accents and new rhythmic possibilities by favoring one head volume over the other. Counter-clockwise is the short delay time head, clockwise is the long head, and noon is both heads at equal amplitude.
