i need to get some speakers of some sort, and put in a new tape loop.
but i picked up this strange little unit today, mostly for using at the small shows i sometimes promote, but also for amping keyboards/bass/vocals for recording.
mostly i guess i wanted to show it off, and it takes a very special kind of person to have any interest in this sort of thing...
has anyone ever come across one of these? i haven't really got a chance to try it out much.

Wow, what a strange looking unit. It has a tape-loop? for slap-back echo maybe? I did a quick search and found an Italian company called FBT with a similar logo. Here is a speakers page. Maybe you can get a matching set. I wonder if the company has manuals online:

not to worry, just keep tracking....

I like my gear porn to have a few close-up shots. Has you any of those?
I too am curious as to the tape-loop aspect. Vintage P.A.s usually have a crappy spring reverb at best... never have heard of one with a built-in tape echo.
cheers,

i don't have any close ups, i keep meaning to buy a digital camera, but then i see an italian pa head with tape delay in it on kijiji, and here i am again with no funds. but this way of life chose me, and not me it... right?
but it's a pretty standard looking three head affair... and it's right on the top, with a plastic fliptop covering it.
