OOOhh really - Ooops - I guess my understanding of the function of a Bucket Brigade creating a delay based upon the "distance" of the signal traveled while traveling through the various "lengths" of the chip's labyrinth, until it exits and/or based upon the setting of the "Regen" knob, possibly returns once again to retake the voyage in the form of regeneration, (while loosing fidelity and creating that trademark analog delay sound) has to do with time???? It's based upon a distance traveled through the Bucket Brigade chips. More chips = more distance of each lap until exiting back out into the audio path, thus the delay(((s)s)s). Or could we look at a Tape delay? How is the delay accomplished?? The length the tape travels, prior to returning the the head and being re-introduced to the audio signal. How about the fireworks that I see each night at Disneyland 12 Miles from My home in the Hills, where many seconds later, I hear the explosion as it has finally traveled the DISTANCE, to my home. BOOM. Then passes my home, hits the mountain side, then gives me that secondary "Slap-Back" delay
It's all about distance, and is merely measured in time. HA
Sorry, having been the lead chip calibrator and hand prototype assembler for Isreal based, Vishay Intertechnology, working in La Habra, CA as we hand built the world's first MINI Chip assemblies for NASA back in 1979-1981 has me thinking a little outside of the box when it comes to time vs. distance and/or is there really even a difference when it comes to sound...????
