A while back I got the BBE Two-Timer analog delay, which according to the user manual is based on the Boss DM-2. I'll post some gutshots soon. In the mean time, I opened it up and noted that it's using the Cool Audio Cool Audio V3205D BBD. Also under the hood is the SA571D - apparently a compander - and a CD3102. Not sure what that is - some kind of opamp? Anyway, nice components. Metal film resistors, and those dark red poly film caps. Two 3PDT switches used for bypass and for delay time switching. Good quality inside and out.

Here's the datasheet for the Cool Audio chip:

Does anyone have an idea how involved it would be to add another BBD to a DM-2 type circuit to increase delay time?

Anyway, gutshots to follow in a day or two.

2 ways to cascade BBD's near the bottom of page 2.
Have you lost your mind? People are only interested in building fuzz boxes!

Thanks very much!

Also, apparently the cd3102 is an mn3102, it pairs up with the v3205 (mn3205) (from Tehfunk, from diystompboxes)
