   Too bad that many modern delays don't do this anymore.

   But it wasn't so uncommon on older digital delays; I have
   a handfull of digital delays that all have this continuous
   control of clock rate.

Heh-heh... DSP digital vs. raw digital.

(That's my abbreviated way of saying that most modern digital delay
units are DSP-based with the delay process in software while the older
digital delay units used some circuitry wrapped around a number of RAM
chips or possibly even shift registers.  The difference really shows
when you reach over and spin the delay knob.)
