like a sucker I ordered Panasonic MN3205 from China. After much tweaking and getting voltages right on track I'm still not getting echoes out of the pedal. Blaming it on bunk bbd chips for now. I'm ordering coolaudio V3205s from Small Bear to verify that but I was really hoping for some decent mn3205s or BL3208Bs. Does anyone have a source? Small Bear at least used to have them but just the cool audio stuff now. The last analog echo i built used the cool audio v3205 and it was NOT the same :(...at least they seem dependable.
I've had pretty good luck sourcing components from Utsource:

Everything I've purchased from them has been authentic and tested "good" except for a SAD1024 years ago.
