delay and reverb 100% analog tape.
Available settings:
- Activation of read heads (1 head 3 speed limit, several heads: reverb)
- General volume
- Determination of the effect, which allows a kind of roar when pushed to background
- Gains of entries


USE

The device is very "rough" electrically speaking. We are far from the CE ...
In fact I recommend placing it behind DI boxes, it makes no difference to the sound, and it's safer.

Publishing side, the few available settings require no explanation, everything on.

Only regret that we can not vary the speed of the tape for even more possibilities. So I put only 8 lol.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality is amazing. Grain but little breath, a fairly good momentum actually.
The craziest is that as soon as the active one begins for Floyd or King Krimson is unstoppable.
Reverb procured quality is amazing considering the techno used, it is hard to believe ... and sometimes almost too well.

In use in "modern music", it is best to book this effect in solo parts well in advance to benefit grain background, as if using a lambda reverb plugin.


NOTICE GLOBAL

I received this machine 2 years ago from a friend whose father, a great "cursed guitarist" died a little faster. It was broken and had not turned 20 years. I repaired and returned to service so it has sentimental value for me.
That said beyond affect, what a sound!
