Lovetone ? - longer delay times - pie in the sky?

Was organizing the unfinished projects around my workbench this past weekend and remembered my DeadendFX Enigma (Lovetone ? / Flange with No Name) is pretty far along.
An unrealistic, possibly hare brained notion popped into my head:
What would it entail to modify / redesign the circuit to accommodate longer delay times? presumably, more than changing parts values...This sort of thing is well over my head.
A Lovetone Delay that never was...or might have been? Modulation, stereo, foot and voltage control...

Entertain my daydream...tell me what you think! :icon_lol:

According to the build doc (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kqEvRodTRtgS7zFl3puy6qp6RXRRoSle/view) it uses a '3207 BBD. You could easily swap that for a '3208 to double the delay time, but it'll still be pretty short - that's only a 2048-stage chip. I've done this as an experiment in my Flangelicious pedal. It stays quite "flangery", but it lets you get some chorus sounds more easily at the longer end of the delay range.

Moving up to a 3205 4096-stage chip changes the pinout, so you'd have to design a new daughter board for it.

Thanks Electricdruid!

Designing a new daughterboard would be above my skill level (currently) but perhaps someone here will get inspired!

I will probably try the 3208 experiment on my Enigma build though - It would be nice to cover the full range between flanger and chorus in one pedal.
