Re: need a digital delay that meets ridiculous requirements

[Travis Hartnett <tiktok@sprintmail.com>]

A pipe dream?  Probably for the price you (and most people) are willing 
to pay.  I was thinking that one of the cheap tc units (D-2, M-1, etc) 
or the Korg DL-8000 would handle it until you brought up the pitch 
shift regeneration.  To get all the sonic goodies you might be in 
Eventide land, although I seem to remember the quick patch changes 
wasn't an Eventide design priority, but maybe their guitar-oriented 
products take that into account.

I think there's a lot of people who want delay units that smoothly 
shift pitch when you sweep the delay time, but it seems that delay 
boxes stopped doing that about ten years ago.  I forget the technical 
reason, but I think the practical explanation was "it's 
cheaper/affordable to use an effects architecture that dosn't support 
that feature".
