NPD: Gots me a Deluxe Memory Man

[Scruffie]

Modern production allows shrinking, the original MN3004 is a 14-Pin DIP with unused pins but by the time it got to the MN3204, down to an 8-Pin DIP.

The BL3208 is as close to a clone of the MN3208 as we'll see and is a good chip, I couldn't say what, if any differences it has to the original production die (it may be spot on) the v3205s has production issues sadly but hey, maybe it'll get fixed... or they'll stop making it. Some of the issues we have with it though are dropping it in circuits not really designed for it too.

There are no SMD BBDs, the technology is out dated now and can be replaced with digital with better results for the markets these products are actually aimed at which ain't us, pedals are a surprisingly small market to these guys and DIY is like a speck in that.
