My tape delays died :-(
« on: March 30, 2011, 03:24:19 pm »
since years i've got these two dynacord echocord super s75 tape delays, both only half functioning, but that was okay for me. i got them cheap and loved their shortcomings.

however, the better-functioning (this could be wired as send) died somehow. it fall back to the functionality level of the worse-functioning (insert only) + some pretty ugly humming-noise.

the insert-only way of wiring (use one of the 4 mic preamps on the front for input, do the level adjust etc... and then get the output on the back) always annoyed me. the more-functioning could be wired with one cable from the back. i'm done. i barely used them because i was to lazy to set them up. 

now i'm thinking of selling those.
but not without replacement. it may not be a tape delay - a used tape-delay is out of my money-range these days. a good emulation would be just fine for me. but the sound-on-sound has to be fine, it has to do nice pitching when changing the delay time, and charming wobble. let's do some namedropping!

why not try and get one or other of them repaired?
