analog delay infinite repeat control

[gutsofgold]

hey guys, I have a question about an Arion SAD-1 delay that I modded. I added a momentary footswitch that bypasses the voltage divider in the repeats/feedback path. It sends the feedback path to a variable resistor wired as a pot so that I can control how quickly it gets out of control when the footswitch is pressed. it works pretty good but I would like to take it one step further. when I take my foot off the footswitch the delay madness/oscillations die off abruptly. is there anyone I can get them to slowly trail off and have everything calm down over a period of time?

When you say "bypasses the voltage divider" are you talking about the 100k "REPEAT" control?

Consider one of the momentary DPDT footswitches.  Press down and you defeat the feedback attenuator in favour of straight through.  Let the switch go and you revert to the feedback attenuation pot and "natural" fade out.
