Analog delays w/ a momentary switch?

OK, so, I haven't done that much research on this subject because I don't have the fundage necessary right now to make a purchase, but I wanted to start gathering info. It's something that recently holds more than a passing interest to me. Can't stop thinking about it.
What I actually want is an analog delay with a momentary switch that turns the effect on and off, but I don't know if there's anything like that commercially available. So, I'd settle on one with a momentary switch that unleashes crazy wild oscillation or some such silliness.
So far, I'm lookin' towards the DMB Lunar Echo.
What else should I be lookin' at? (Remember, analog.)
Thank you.

I'm pretty sure there was a thread about this a week or two ago.
This is totally an idea I've wanted to have for a while.

You could just have someone build you one or mod one for you.

Was there?
Wow, my search skills are slippin'. OK, I'll do some searchin'. Thanks.

Yeah, I was thinkin' about that. That's why I threw in the "commercially available" part. I'm keeping my options open. That's definitely a possibility.

OK, I just looked at the thread from a few weeks ago.
I'd actually prefer a momentary switch that turns the effect on and off rather than one that introduces more feedback into the circuit. As Officer Bukowski said, I may have to go the route of a mod or custom build for that.

Any switch could be switched to momentary... Just pick a delay you like and holla at the D.I.Y. crew...

Keeley-modded Ibanez AD-9. He adds a standard stomp switch that becomes the main on-off switch, and then converts the old switch to a momentary stomper for infinite-feedback freakouts. I will never part with mine.

I had a momentary expression with my m9 for this. I let it go 100% dry and then with the momentary switch I could go wet and get get those "frozen" feedbacky sounds on the fly.

I have a momentary warp/freakout switch on a unit I had built recently by NoiseKickFX.

Analog delay with warp (loco!) switch, stutter trem, and metallic, nasty tasting octave fuzz.
