Grungy Digital Delays?



Hi all

I've been lurking on and off for a few years, don't think I've ever
posted.

Anywho, my primary long delay is a Korg SDD-2000. When feedback is
cranked and the preamp section is just a tad overloaded the sound
degenerates in such a dirty, fractured and grungy way that to me is pure
magic. My only complaint is I would like a bit more than 4.368 seconds
of delay.

I've tried the old 12 bit DODs and Digitechs, they had the warmth I like
but not the grunge. The Jamman is way to clean for me. The same goes for
all 16 bit machines. I've considered getting a DL4 but from what I
understand the bit reduction settings don't allow for more then 2.6
seconds of delay, I really need more time then that. The Line 6 Pro unit
looks good but it's too pricey for me.

My question is are there other boxes out there with the characteristics
I'm l described? How are the old Ibanez/Maxon 8 bit boxes? Can they be
tweaked out for longer delay lengths? Or perhaps there's some way of
getting the same effect using a Digitech/DOD 8 second unit but
degenerating the sound outboard in the feedback loop. Any ideas or
suggestions are welcome.

thanks
