Oops, I didn't know that. I know that there is a difference between
'4016 and '4066, and I thought the standard CD4066 had 60 Ohms.
Anyway, what about using all 4 switches in parallel?
But if You want ultra-fast discharge, why not go for the thyristor
solution? (Thyristor made of 1 NPN + 1 PNP transistor. I haven't done
this myself, but it seems to work fine in many Roland and Korg VCOs.)
