Who said anything about analog?. Those were horrible. What I had in mind
is a digital shift register, 16 or more bits wide. That wouldn't even
multiply the quantization noise. Sure two channels of that might add,
making it 3db worse, but when the two are summed again, that scales right
back out I believe.
Cheers, Gene Such IC's are (or were a decade ago)
available.
Analog bucket brigade reminds me to ugly delay circuits, we build as
children, with an entertaining noise performance :D. At all events, when
building such a thing use a perfboard to ensure to get as much bad audio
quality as possible. To be serious, there are some old professional
delays based on analog bucket brigade, but using it today IMO isn't
worth the hassle.
