you can order the part from them...I built some stuff with this chip more
years back than I care to remember and I still use it. It provides a unique
sound quality that would be hard to replicate with a digital delay...easy to
to design for, too, as I remember.

quote**********************
Here's a high quality, extra long (4096 buckets!) bucket brigade device
perfect for analog delay
projects. It's easy to clock this chip for delays of from 2 to 100
milliseconds with excellent fidelity.
Craig Anderton used it in his article, "Build a Chorus-Delay," which appeared
in Guitar Player,
January 1982. In that versatile circuit, he showed how to make it perform as a
chorus, analog delay,
automatic double tracking unit, flanger and vibrato!

This part was always expensive and hard to get. (Fifteen years ago the list
price was as much as $50).
But thanks to a special purchase, we can now offer it to you for a low $18.99
each.
