Now I have a big decision...

Do I make a Deluxe Electric Mistress (have a PCB made) and keep the SAD chip, or do I sell the SAD as known good?

It does sound awesome...

Will selling the SAD1024A make you more happy than having the opportunity to play it? Especially if you bought it for a reasonable price years ago, you have the chance to enjoy an awesome sounding flanger for a fraction of what you would have to pay otherwise.

Well, it's no simple circuit as that of a Distortion +. ;)

Yeah...

I'm being a bit "quick and dirty" with the layout. It doesn't need to be pretty, it just needs to work, and there will never be a need for more than one of these.

Neither quick, nor dirty. First working draft. Needs to be cleaned up and checked, but essentially done.

Shame this can only ever be used once :?
