The new AquaboyDX project doc says you can use several types of BBDs...2 x MN3005 or 2 x MN3008...(not to mention the other 3 chips)...luckily I've got that mojo MN3008 laying around for years in my drawer...UNluckily, I've got only 1..so i can't build the AquaboyDX MN3008 version...

...the older Aquaboy 2012 ed has only 1 MN3005...but can I replace it with MN3008 BBD? ( I understand it renders half the delay time of the MN3005 )...tnx guys in advance! ???

Absolutely. Like you said, the only difference between the two is the delay time.

..thanks chordball for the prompt reply!...got to build the Aquaboy rightaway... ;)

You won't get much delay out of it. Maybe 150ms, FYI.

artstomp

...alright i understand, thanks Bean!  :D

artstomp

...but will it sound just as good as the MN3005 at 150ms..compared to the V3205?

madbean

The differences between the different chips are more apparent during longer delays. 150ms lies somewhere between slapback and short delay so I don't think you will hear a huge difference between them.
