Asheville Music Tools has retired the ADG-1 SE, stating that the fall 2023 release was the final production run of the pedal¹. The maker says a few more units were built in early 2024 from remaining inventory, and that it does not currently have plans to build the pedal again¹.

The ADG-1 SE is a special edition of the company's ADG-1 analog delay¹. The maker lists a 100% analog signal path and a third high-voltage Xvive analog delay bucket, allowing switching between delay times of 16ms to 350ms or 50ms to 1.055 seconds, extendable to 1.35 seconds with control voltages or an expression pedal¹. It also adds a TRS insert on the delay loop, which the maker says lets effects such as EQ or octave pedals process the delayed signal without changing the dry tone, and a center-off switch on the LFO module¹. The finish is a color-shifting "Guitarry Night" gloss, with solid aluminum GØRVA knobs¹.

Listed specifications include switchable true bypass or JFET-buffered bypass with switchable trails, an expression/CV input assignable to time, feedback, mod amount or mod rate, and power at 9VDC drawing under 150mA, 90mA nominal¹. The enclosure is a Hammond die-cast aluminum box measuring 4.90 inches deep, 3.70 inches wide and 2.25 inches high, at 15.5oz¹. The price was $598.00, and the page lists the pedal as sold out¹.
