Description

This model of tape recorder was in production from 1954 to 1961, and mine produces some surprisingly meaty high-gain tones with asymmetrical clipping. The resulting waveform is extremely lopsided, and looks like if you were to run something through a fuzz pedal set to max. Think Sleep - Dopesmoker. As far as I know the insides are all original. Only variable knob on the machine is volume that goes from 1-6. I did one capture on each hard number, 1000 epochs on each. I like volumes 4-6 best. The amp sounds too dark to be useful for clean sounds in my opinion. Vol 1 ESR: 0.005278 Vol 2 ESR: 0.009365 Vol 3 ESR: 0.01645 Vol 4 ESR: 0.02269 Vol 5 ESR: 0.0252 Vol 6 ESR: 0.02572
