Almost enough stages for a very weak flanger.

Basically every stage is two tube opamps.  I have 10 stages working, 20
stages mostly built.  While testing 20 stages my original filament supply
ate itself, it has been replaced by a switcher with enough current to
arcweld with which in itself is a bad thing.  A waveform sent in comes out
more or less distorted but recognizable, not unlike a real BBD.  I did cheat
and it clocks with semiconductors. 

I figure to use it as a flanger I need 512 stages, which will completely
fill a single 6' relay cabinet, but should only draw 30amps/220v.  New
garage has a gas drier, no working 220 outlet at the moment which is another
reason I havent done much.... (excuses excuses)
