[sdiy] High frequency VCO as BBD clock

[mark verbos]

It’s like that on the actual module? I assume it’s a tracing error. Serge could have just tapped the first SAD1024 the same way he tapped the second one (ie pins 5 &6).

I would love a nice (stereo) BBD flanger/chorus, but felt a bit fed-up with all the 'classic' designs, particularly the traditional clocking scheme, usually with a limited range, lack of current drive (to overcome capacitance of the BBD clock input) and strictly linear modulation (calling for a hyper-triangle modulation source).

Has anyone tried? Or are there fundamental reasons why such frequencies are not possible? I've never (intentionally) worked with circuits outside of the audio bandwidth...
