MN3005 BBD Bucket Brigade Delay Chip

• 4096-stage long-delay BBD—eight times longer than a 512-stage BBD!
• P-channel low-noise silicon gate process
• Up to 205 ms delay at a clock frequency 10 kHz
• Signal-to-noise ratio of 75dB

Xvive Audio’s first-ever product was the MN3005: a re-creation of the legendary bucket brigade chip used in the Deluxe Memory Man and many other iconic effect pedals and instruments. Now, the Xvive MN3005 is at the heart of delay pedals produced by some of the world’s top effect pedal brands—including Xvive’s own Echoman Analog Delay!

The MN3005 is the world’s first 4096-stage long-delay BBD—eight times longer than the 512-stage BBD. It is manufactured using a P-channel low-noise silicon gate process.

A long-signal delay time of 205 ms can be obtained at a clock frequency 10 kHz, with a sound-to-noise ratio of 75dB. This ratio is an improvement of 20dB, as compared to eight connected 512-stage BBDs! The MN3005 is suitable for use with echo and reverb effects in stompboxes as well as electronic keyboards, guitar amplifiers, synthesizers and more.
