I've been thinking of making my own digital delay for several years, but I've been waiting for CPU prices to drop. Damned if Cirrus logic went and solved that with one chip.

does that say 12 bucks?

I tried making my own effects a long time ago. My transistor distortion didn't work, although I might be able to find some uses for it nowdays. But I almost had my analog delay working, I used some kind of analog delay chip. It worked kinda but it was really noisy and distorted. Hmm, I'd be tempted to play with this if I had more time.

Yup, I've built two distortion boxes and a compressor. The only one I kept was the distortion box, based on a CMOS inverter chip.

I recently found the most recent reincarnation of the Reticon analog delay line, now made by Panasonic/Matsushita, but analog delays, based on capacitor bucket brigade chips, are prone to all kinds of noise. Having one chip to do the ADC, delat and DAC is enticing.
