    well yeah if your desired end result is drums that sound like cardboard boxes, the signal chain doesn't play much of a role as it turns out. if you want to hear how those various input sources actually sound, consider not choking the shit out of every head. put some single ply heads on, tune them properly, and then maybe you'll hear how the different front ends sound. as it stands , i'm fairly certain any 1980s Radio Shack cassette player can make a snare drum go "thmmp" and die immediately

After you record onto the cassette is there a some kind of 1/4 inch out that you plug directly into your interface and record into logic? if so would you need an input for each track? im really green when it comes to recording in general but want to learn and lean into the analog direction a bit. sorry if the question is annoyingly basic!

    You have a lot of valid points that I can definitely appreciate regardless of any initially perceived hyperbole. I have been a pedalboard user for many years now and 100% agree with the fact that they can subtract us from the better thing WHICH IS CREATING MUSIC and add unnecessary complications. One can far too easily get distracted by settings and 'tone seeking' etc. I limit my choices to a couple overdrive options that have to be dynamic and I'm absolutely sure I'm happy with, a volume pedal and the rest is reverb, delay and more reverb/modulation. I don't want to be undecided mid-set, trying to decide which combination of 7 overdrives to use and what ambience to use out of hundreds of possibilities. I still get distracted sometimes even with my relatively small board. I actually find the smaller, simpler boards to be much more interesting than the motherships people post. Some people are just having fun, but most of the really 'serious' players I've seen so far have boards like this or simpler. Thanks for sharing your point of view!

    Dude! I still have mine. I bought it in 1984, and it STILL WORKS! Also, way back then, I taped down one of the reflective strips in front of the 4-track mode sensor, just as you've done, and that's still in place. Probably most everybody who bought one of these did that. 🤓 I have pulled several EPs worth of multis of my four-decades-old original material into the Mac from this machine. And even though the tracks were recorded at a glacial 1 7/8 ips (the only option on this deck), I've been able to get them to sound pretty good with some judicious use of plugins in my DAW. I originally had the mixer as well, but I sold it when I found a used TASCAM Model 3 board a couple years later. Belated thanks for posting this!

      there is a stereo version. mine is mono. but you don't send it to your speakers. I mean I guess you could use this is a preamp straight to speakers for something, but that's not what its designed for. its made to be overdriven and give color to things and then go to an interface.
