Looking thru the most recent musicians friend catalog and saw some things that might be mod-able (and cheap!):
$14.99! -->

I grabbed one of those SAD-3 analog delays. For $19.99 you can hardly go wrong. I've heard it's not great for warm analog delays, but if you play with trimpots, it can give some very interesting lo-fi distorted repeats.
I figured it was worth checking out for $20.
Anyone know the differences between the SAD-3 and the SAD-1? Could I potentially just swap out the chip, or were there other changes?
This belongs not in "Build your own stompboxes," but on perhaps Buy/Sell." Not meant to be a harsh criticism, but the title of the topic conflicts directly with this forum section's title.
Oh, come on. We regularly discuss modifications to pedals and pedals that might be readily (and/or cheaply) modifiable. A little off-topic perhaps, but nevertheless an area of interest to many folks, plus it led to a technical query that is relevant.
The very existence of these pedals leads us to re-evaluate the need or desirability of rolling our own. One day (perhaps about two years ago), it'll no longer be worth considering home-brewing a delay-based pedal, f'rinstance.
BTW, if you answer this, I'll know that you wasted your time coming back to this OT thread just to have a peek... :wink:

be mellow bro,
the fact is , that you "CAN" get a device for a fair price and enjoy or mod it.
to each his own.
