I don't think I'd be interested in the scanner chorus.  While I'm
sure that getting it to work was quite an achievement, and it's short
delay time is uniquely impressive, imho, it's a bit too subtle for my
tastes.  However, I would be be quite interested in a Roland
emulation dual-BBD PCB.

Curious, which BBD chips are currently in production??  As far as
single units with 512 stages, there was the Reticon SAD512 (which
came in 8 and 16-pin versions), the Phillips TDA 1022 (16-pin), and
the Panasonic MN3002, MN3204, and MN3304 (all 8-pin, afaik).  I don't
think there are any others.  I have heard conflicting opinions on
whether or not the MN series can be used as direct replacements for
the Reticon chips.
