Two tape machine modes, fixed and multi with proportional playback head distances. So you can get musical and rhythmic multi delay taps.
Tape Age and Speed of Tape Machine affects the tone of delay repeats.
Tape Age controls the frequency characteristics of the tape bandwidth according to the age of tape.
Older tapes have a warmer tone and lower bandwidth. With the adjustment of tape age, frequency response goes from clean and brand new tone to older, worn out characteristics.
Changes the distance of the playback heads to the record head by moving playback heads.
Delay time changes according to the distance between them. In Multi mode two heads move together.
You can tune your delay time without changing motor speed, and end up with uneffected bandwidth characteristics.
Time knob varies the tape speed while the playback head is fixed in position.
Speed (Time) knob controls the delay time by varying tape speed according to the selected Tape Head.
When the tape speed is at higher speed, tone of the repeats will be brighter and if tape speed is slowed to increase the delay time, the repeats will get darker.
