I should re-read that. I loved it when I read it almost 20 years ago.
BBBDD?! (Best Bucket Brigade Device Delay)
So if you’ve been watching a couple of big announcements have just been made in the analog delay world:
Boss has released the DM-101 delay. Long delay, many chips, much luscious modulation, stereo out, different modes, midi control. There are several gushing demos online, and I agree that it sounds great. It’s got that special something to my ears that most of the Memory Mans have. I had just discovered my digital delay has a bad output in one side that day, so I took it as a sign from from the guitar gods (probably The Edge) and preordered it.
Here’s the complication though… EAE had also just announced a killer BBD delay the Sending V2 which also has long times, modulation, midi, but also has a preamp (which they seem to do a superb job at), ramping, “better” BBD CHIPS, and an FX loop. There are only a couple of sound clips so far, and it sounds good, but doesn’t really excite me like listening to a Memory Man or the DM-101 did. It also doesn’t have stereo out, but to be fair the BOSS only has mono in, so it is a little problematic coming after my stereo mod too. Lastly it is even more expensive than the $500 Boss at $650.
Can I overcome the lack of an fx loop and preamp by running the BOSS in parallel with mod and reverb in kill dry mode and putting whatever effects I want there? Is this a bad idea for any reason (besides $)? What do you think of the sounds and what the merits and shortcomings of these delays are? Should I just get a Memory Man 1100TT?
The price floor should be $0.00! There must be people in a delusional bubble far away from me who are excited about this “art”… or just a bunch of wash trading.
Gosh, I sure hope they don’t find anything untoward…
Can’t wait to couch co-op it when it officially releases!
Fuuuuuck that…
I shall avoid the confusion by staying off twitter
But why isn’t it a robotic cat?
A made that recipe a couple of times and they are great! If it’s of use to anyone, we have a nut allergy in the house and I subbed cooked and roasted barley for the nuts. Just did them in the oven with the black beans. The texture was good, but I’m sure the nuts do taste better though
I just discovered a problem with my delay not 30 minutes before coming across this. I had to take it as a sign…
If you can buy them as larva you might have a better chance of them sticking around. They don’t have wings but still love eating aphids and other little pests.
