most bbd chips are not available anymore, there are
only a few left and it would not make sense developing
a new bbd-based module. also bbd's have a very short
delaytime, nothing to compete with a digital delay.
ok, the sound is quite interesting, but there are
some bbd-based modules on the market already
(analogue systems, blacet research, modcan).
i personally like the blacet time machine very much,
but it seems that this module will not be continued
because of the above mentioned bbd chip shortage.
the same happened to the moogerfooger analogue delay.
anyway a digital one with voltage control will give
many more options than it's analogue counterpart,
longer delaytimes and better frequency range.

you mentioned the modcan pitchshifter. is it a bode type
the bode shifter is great, i know that analogue systems
has one, but i think that it is too expensive.
