Awesome.

I'm pretty much with you there.. my favorite beck is 'asshole', 'puttin it down', 'soul suckin jerk', 'mutherfuker', 'fume', etc.. haven't heard this one yet.

Thank you very much for posting about your friend's version - I will definitely look into that!!

LOL almost snarfed my keyboard!!

It's extremely funny, esp. since most indie rock can't groove/swing to save it's life.. the kids just love the angular clunkiness and fractured plodding.

That is much less than an original pultec these days, and I am sure they are well made. I am glad people are making gear like this, for those that choose to use items like this. This sort of thing is certainly not for everyone, nor is an indy car right for getting groceries... Dude, it's only 'righ...

The 'rendered image' is just a saved rendering, in case you wanted to burn a bunch of copies. Just edit the playlist where the track lives, and skip thru til you find the audio file for the track(s), and delete those.

It also DOES put strain on the motor, esp. when you're at the top or bottom of the tape.. Couple that with the long long tape being more prone to stretching (warble), and it's best not to use long long tapes. BUT, a well-respected 4 tracker who frequents this board swears by 90 mins.. so there you g...
