yeah, i thinkof 500 ms as being the classic "delay" limit, a half second is a pretty long delay to me! i have an effectron as well, along with a loft series 450 delay(.5-160 ms), but they don't seem to be v/oct for a more tuned vc, if i'm saying that right...maybe the 2048 might

Hey, I got the 1024. It's great for doing chorus, flange and molulation crazyness. At slower delay time however it gets pretty grimey and you can clearly hear the "clock noise" This can be cool if you want something fairly dirty. The clock noise can be filtered out with a lowpass
