Just a word of caution:
Some of the cheaper delays labelled "analogue" are NOT analogue; I've had two, one that people said was analogue but used a PT2399 (digital IC), and anohter that has "analog" written on the panel, and again uses a PT2399. It's "analogue" in feel, but not execution. I got rid of the first unit, and still use the second. It's a Biyang AD-7.
The Biyang's a good unit. Metal-bodied, controls feel OK, sounds good - I have a CS-3 after mine to tame the wild self-osc. Delay time goes up to 1.2 seconds, nice and lo-fi. I think it was about �35, used but barely so.
The cheapest proper analogue delay I've seen is the Behringer VD400. Uses BBDs. Then they make the VM-1, which is "inspired" (ahem) by the EHX DMM. Works fine, knobs are flimsy, switch feels weird to stamp on as it's quite light. The VD400 is about �25, the VM is about �50. |

I emailed a seller of these pedals in the USA and was assured they actually were analogue...
I'd recommend a long-chip DD-3 as a good alternative. I "tired" one might cost maybe US$80. |

| Just to clarify I don't intend on buying this, im just curious how you can sell a genuine analogue delay for so little. |
