John may be using a part with a short delay, but if so, he's using more
of them.  At half the price, and twice the delay time, the Blacet module
sounds like a great deal.  Is there a difference in the audio quality of
these two units?  Now if only the Time Machine came in one of those cute
little floor pedals!  <G>

        The Blacet Time Machine:

           http://www.blacet.com/

           $309 assembled, $229 kit, but you need to add a case and
power
           supply.

        The price of a good analog delay is high 'cause of the price of
the BBD's
        (bucket brigade delay) these days.

        I helped find the chip stash that Bob bought to use in the
MF-104, so I
        know what he paid for them. They're pricey. :)

        John (Blacet) is using a similar part, but it offers less delay
time.


        Also, most (quality) analog delays will have a compressor of
some sort in
        them, that helps get the characteristic sound. But it also adds
to the cost.
