Well, you can buy a pedal that uses one, and pull it out.  Even though that
might seem like a waste, the TM has many more features than any pedal I've
ever seen.  However, AFAIK, not all  MN3005's are good enough for the TM.
As far as I can remember, Blacet said that they found a number of them that
did not meet their standards.  Perhaps it's like the CEM3340's that have
white dots (ie. screened by Roland to be good enough for an SH-101).

I have a spare Reticon SAD1024, but I do not think it would work in a TM.

How much is a Pearl Analogue Delay worth anyway??  It has a very unusual
feature -- it can switch between two sets of feedback and delay knobs, with
either its own stomp switch or a jack input that can be connected to a
sequencer.  Since the TM is VC, I'm thinking I could sell mine.

Not counting the Electric Mistress, which is a BBD flanger, I neither need
nor have the room for three analogue delays.  Once I get my Time Machine
built, having that and my Stereo Memory Man, I should be all set :)
