Re: [Harp-L] which delay? Wampler v tape echo



Today i recieved my new toy:
http://damagecontrolusa.com/products/timeline/

Tonight I used it during a rehearsal with my semi-acoustic duo... and I loved it.
I still have to learn how to use it. The tap tempo is very useful, the slapback echo is very nice... reverse echo is big fun..
etc etc etc..


AND.... no loss of signal, no tone sucking/tone change.... so it is very harpfriendly.
AND EXPENSIVE.... :-))

I don't know whether you need *special* tape, but if ordinary magnetic recording tape works, I am happy to advise that your recent report of its demise is premature. See, for instance: http://www.dupespec.com/supplies.html?gclid=CJzjtoqVxZ4CFchn5Qodf3o1pg A quote from that page:

========================

Open reel analog audiotape is alive and well & expertly manufactured by the folks at RMGI in Holland. Born of EMTEC, BASF and AGFA, RMGI is the proper successor to these brands. Duplication Specialists, Inc. offers advice on usage and compatibility of RMGI products, as we ourselves are users! Contact us for compatible replacements for the defunct QUANTEGY tape product line.

Duplication Specialists, Inc is a full line, stocking distributor, offering overnight worldwide shipping from stock.



========================

As many of you probably know, there is a currently manufactured real tape echo unit; it's very expensive:
