Maxon Receives Premier Guitar’s Premier Gear Award

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct 22, 2009 -
The Maxon AD999 Pro Analog Delay has been awarded a Premier Gear Award for the month of November.

The Premier Gear Award is an honor bestowed upon a piece of gear—whether guitar, amp, effect, or other gear— that has been extraordinary enough to impress the staff of Premier Guitar. Despite the high quality of all gear reviewed by Premier Guitar, only exemplary items earn the award.

“The AD999 Pro has the ability to emulate the fabled tape delays of yore, such as the Roland RE-201 Space Echo,” said reviewer Jordan Wagner. “For devotees of vintage analog sounds, the AD999 Pro is a perfect choice.” Premier Guitar awarded the AD999 a rating of 5.0, the highest possible rating.

We utilize the time and necessary resources to make fair and accurate assessments of every product we choose to review.

We want our readers to recognize us as a reliable and accurate source of information, so that the next time they want to purchase another piece of gear, they come back to us for our opinion on it.”
