I tried these in an Aquapuss clone, they're really not bad at all.
See also my Time Stomp (analog delay w/ tap tempo) where i use 3 of these chips. Sorry for the slight bit of distortion, its since been cleaned up (that was a prototype in the demo).

wanna share how this is done?
Its done using PIC microcontrollers. Its relatively simple if you know C code to get this type of controller working. The type of signal generated is just like the chip Electro Harmonix uses (the CD4047), only lower in magnitude depending on the supply you're using for the BBD. The signal is also more exact/ appropriate for BBDs (Eg. look at the MNXXXX series datasheet and they give you a clock wave-form example showing the cross-point for the BBD charge transfer). So basically what i achieved is a free running astable clock, but the potentiometer control and tap switch work interchangeably to set the delay time. The only tricky part is knowing the delay time bounds of the BBD clock(s) because this is dependent on the number of chips you use and the tempo resolution, etc. etc.
Fun stuff
But not to rob this thread, i still have a bunch of V3205's for sale

Its more if you want tracking or registered mail.
hey Marcus,
sorry for digging this up. I was wondering if you had any v3205s left and how much shipping would be for 2-5 pieces? (I only need 2, but I guess it's smarter and greener to buy some more for future projects)
rusty_pinto wrote:Yes, i have some left. I would say its like $4-5 for postage, envelope, IC tube pretty much anywhere in the world (for 1-10 devices).
Hey Marcus,
If you are still interested in trading for a few (2-4 pcs.) of the V3205s then I have some Germanium diodes and some Germanium transistor pairs to trade (PNP set 75/150 low leak, NPN set 60/80 low leak)
I also have a lot of op amps and other ICs, transistors, and various build items.
