Well, in order not to adorn myself with borrowed plumes,
and to give you more confidence: *that* part of the circuit
(flipflops to create an adjustable gap, discrete drivers
driven by paralleled 4011's, was taken exactly from Dynacord.
They used the very same circuit in the TAM-19 (driving a pair
of TDA1022's) and the SRS-56 (driving a bunch of obscure BBD
chips adding up to a couple hundred milliseconds of delay).

And the CV processing is more or less the same as the Aries
Phaser module's and the Tau "Pipe" flanger's. Only thing is
I've inverted it (pair or pnp pairs instead of CA3086) and
adapted it to EMS-like signal levels. And I added the :2
divider :) .

I can't wait to hear it myself (which will probably take
a few weeks, given my slow progress). But I'm confident
it will be great, given the TAM-19's reputation.
