[sdiy] SAD-1024 delay line

[Tony Allgood]

Hi all,

>>I always thought that four 1024's strung in series gave practically
the
>>same quality as a single 4096. Is that correct, or not?

Well, I have sort of done it. I used two 512s and two 1024s in series.
TDA1022 and TDA1097s. It was my main delay line for a long time. I still
have one track that I recorded with it and a Moog Rogue and analogue
sequencer. I have never managed to re-create the same feeling with my
newer gear. But, having said that, it was a horrible noisy thing even
with the compander, but the real time changing of feedback and delay was
a nice feature.

If you do go the 'multiple units in series' way, I would add a trimmer
to each output stage, rather than just one at the end.
