... what BBD would you prefer?
I get quite a lot of requests for making pcbs for the Storm Tide flanger.
I can't do exactly that , for 3 reasons:
(1) It uses highly obsolete BBDs
(2) It's too close to Eventide
(3) I know a lot of things I'd do differently now.
But I'm (vaguely!) thinking about a "Son of Storm Tide" as a future pcb
project.
If I'd do this, I'd obviously not use SAD1024s.
I have a favorite vintage BBD chip of which considerable stock is left, so
I'd design it for this chip.
I'd want to have a fallback strategy in case this chip suddenly gets
extinct, and so my plan would be to offer a pcb where you have a choice of
two different BBD chips to solder in. (Similar as I did with the different
transitor arrays on the tau phaser.)
Now, I know what BBD chip option #1 would be (I won't tell right now, for
obvious reasons ...)
Please let me know what you'd prefer as option #2. (Should ∗not∗ be another
vintage / extinct specimen, but one of the modern parts.)
Preferred length is 512 stages.
