i'm getting ready to purchase one of these units, not sure which...i 
figured the best was to go with the 1024 as i'd like to do classic 
analog delays along with some tuned feedback loop stuff and whatever 
crazy patching will come up with...sound like a plan? the other option 
would be to get two units with overlapping times/specified function i 
suppose....but i ain't rich so i'd really rather not...does this make 
any sense? whaddy'all think? what is you purchase approach?

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 filter. From what
I understand if you want clean long delay times of 500 ms and up
you'll need to get the 2 or 4 second model. Don't get me wrong
these units are awsome, they just have certain limits.
For the long delay dub stuff in the studio I've been using
an Effectron and ADA digital delay.
Have fun,

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 be a best bet?

i think that the 1024 stages version is a good allrounder.
it is not that suitable for longer delays, because you will
hear the clock noise when the delay time gets bigger than 50 ms.
in this case you have to use a lowpass filter at the bbd output
to remove the clock noise (unless you want that noise to
be audible).
