MXR Time delay

Picked this up on Ebay.
I am addicted to Reticon bucket brigade chips. So couldn't pass this one up.

Heavy, and built like a tank.
This one dates from around 1981 to 83.
M206/Series 2000
Serial No. 206-001729


The seller described it thus:
"This is a supremely luscious vintage analog delay. Thick, decadent delay repeats you could cut with a butter knife. Forget that Panasonic/Matsushita malarkey: Reticon did it right."  Yes !!!!



Reticon SAD4096 bucket-brigade delay chip with in'n'out running through a NE571 compander. It's socketed as are the op-amps (MCI458p)


....SCL4013BE ... CMOS chip ,,, its a dual D-type flip flop

 Built with love in beautiful Rochester

  1. Was doing some recreational googling for SAD4096 fun and games and found myself here - Ha, how about that, I do believe I'm the guy that sold you that pedal! The knobs tipped me off, but the quotes from the ebay listing, well, I'd recognize my own prose anywhere! Whatta blast from the past...

    Delighted to know you enjoy the pedal. Those Reticon chips sure are something, aren't they? Packed with magic...

    Hope everything's been going well for both you and the ol' Time Delay! Wishing you both many happy years of rockin' the F out :)

    Best,
    Steve
