hello denis, a few months ago dieter and i discussed a module with multiple bbd's in a chain, but this solution would introduce a lot of additional and unpleasant noise to the signal. also i don't know if 512 stage bbd's are currently available for a reasonable price. best wishes

From my experience daisy-chaining of BBDs increases the (already existing) noise very much. I'd expect that a 2048 stages BBD sounds much better than two daisy-chained 1024 stage BBDs. And the price for a 2048 stage BBD is not much more than for a 1024 stage BBD (the difference i

In case that the BBD module will be manufactured with 2 BBDs (I'm still waiting for the answer of the BBD manufacturer ...) we will add a separate clock socket for each BBD (normalled to the internal HSVCO) in any case. But the A-163 will probably not be suitable as it was design

Don't know if this is possible, but if it will be 2 bbd's, wouldn't it be nice to have a hsvco-output and two clock inserts, one for each bbd, so you can e.g. insert the a-163. That way you can have 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8 etc. of the delay-time for each bbd without changing the
