Re: AW: [Doepfer_a100] Multiple 188s for longer delay time?

2007-09-07 by bruce thedekaa

Hi,
I just ordered this bbd delay made by modcan:
http://www.modcan.com/bseries/modulesb.html

It delays to a maximum of 8 seconds!

>>copy paste<<
This is a true analog delay utilizing two MN3005 BBD
IC for a total of 8192 stages of delay.

It also has a built in filter which can be turned on
and off.

For me it was way superior to the doepfer bbd's.
