Tape echo

[joel hamilton]

Just got another Tascam 122 for tape echo. SO great. Stereo, and vari-speed-able.

Run it on a send, and you can feed it to itself for actual "feedback" delay. Run it with a shitty cassette, and all the dolby it will do for utter darkness. Amazing.

I have a couple of tape echo's: a Klemt Echolette tune tape echo, a hiwatt custom tape echo, and a korg stage echo that are all great, but the tascam cassette just does some amazingly great stuff. If you run a really clean delay like a roland SDE3000 to just one side of the send with a really short delay, like 40 Ms, you can get the illest stereo tape echo happening ....

They ARE CHEAP on the'bay still, because nobody wants em. 100 dollars for an awesome tape echo? Yep.

Speaking of these machines: anyone know where to get a pinch roller?

for all tascam/teac stuff you could try New Jersey Factory Service.
they used to be the main tascam repair spot around here.
