the reverb driver tube is almost like your power amp tubes... it's just a small ax7/at7 driving a much smaller output transformer... since a reverb pan doesn't need a lot of juice to get going like speakers do... so, you 'can' design (and i mean *redesign*) a typical reverb driver stage to send a di...

A pair of 4047's? Drop the FOK, and go for a stereo pair of room mics. I find stereo ambience significantly more useful than mono. Me too. I actually prefer a mono OH and stereo room to mono room stereo OH. you're my favorite imaginary internet messageboard best friend thanks to posts like this

analog at 7.5 will probably sound like a major deterioration to a digital signal, but then again...

if the tape machine ends up being part of the flow, then why not?

it might be the motown step you'd need.

+1 for that first link thanks! In general, electrically, it's not much of a problem. I've known contractors who dress & store their extension cords by tying them into a progression of knots.
