Find an old Roland RPS-10. Unlike most of today's digital
delays and rotary encoders, the RPS-10 allowed you to
change the delay smoothly with a normal pot, just like
analog. It also has pitch shifting, and an input on the
back that takes a sine wave to control the amount of pitch
shift. I haven't tried it yet but I'm hoping that the sin
actually controls the clock, so that the sine wave will
also control delay time as well as pitch shift.
I have one in my guitar rack that I use for some very good
backwards delay effects. I've been thinking of finding
another one to stick behind a MOTM panel.
You can get them pretty cheap, under $200.
