Unlike digital delays (which use AD/DA converters), BBDs sample the audio voltage and pass it down a chain of "buckets" (capacitors) at a specific clock rate. The faster the clock, the shorter the delay. The slower the clock, the longer (but dirtier) the delay.

Then, the signal goes back into the . This is the expander . Remember how we compressed the signal earlier? The expander does the opposite. It turns quiet signals down and loud signals up to restore your original dynamics. Mxr Carbon Copy Schematic

Keep building. Keep tweaking. Keep the analog dream alive. Unlike digital delays (which use AD/DA converters), BBDs

A BBD chip has a limited headroom. If you hit it with a hard pick attack, it will clip into ugly, splatty distortion. The compressor gently squashes your dynamics so the BBD sees a consistently strong, but not too strong, signal. Then, the signal goes back into the
