I have a late-eighties Korg SDD-1000 digital delay that behaves like this.
It is digital but the delay time adjusts smoothly to my ears.  This
was in fact my first "looper" with a whopping 2 seconds of loop time.
It was fun to record a loop then use the delay time knob to sweep
the playback rate & pitch up and down smoothly.   1U with knobs for
input level, delay time, feedback, high cut, intensity, frequency, and mix.
I was actually getting ready to put it up on eBay, but now I'm having
a wave of nostalgia :-)
