Here is a demo of my newly build madbean dirtbaby compared to other memory men in my possession
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUt5TuDjhpU[/youtube]
The Dirtbag uses 2 x MN3005 (many peoples holy grail chips)
The EHX uses 4 x MN3008 (with the analog man input gain mod performed by me)
The Dirtbaby uses a PT2399 digital echo
The Dirtbaby aliases and has a bit more background noise, but this may be due to the PT chip itself. For my money though, it cops the vibe of the real one, particularly at the more modest delay settings shown, whereas longer delays the noise factor isnt as musical as a real BBD delay.
For the record I always felt my dirtbag was quite dark, and I use a 330pF clock capacitor rather than the stock 240pF so that might have some influence on it...

The PT2399 is a bit different but had something special to it. I'll probably end up building both that and a BBD. And I've got too fricking many delays already.
