Broken Tape

This is not a little bit of warp, saturation or flutter this is something bad happening in exciting and intriguing ways. Sure it has a warmth and some lo-fi crunchiness, there’s oodles of bit crushing and distortion. But there’s a weird mix of looping and delaying inside that glitches the heck out of whatever is going through it in a way that sounds like your Walkman has just mangled your favourite cassette.

There’s not a whole lot to play with. It has one rather odd (and nice) looking knob that controls the speed of the tape loop feedback and a smaller knob that messes about with time.
