You probably know that the EMu VC Transient Generators were five stages with
lag being the first stage. You are right in that I found the VC Lag stage to
be the most useful. Moe???

I agree that a generalized VC gate delay circuit would be quite useful. Two
(expensive) ways to build one while we wait:
1) 1/2 Serge DSG
2) MOTM 820 to comparator
