DIY Tape Echo

[Nasse]

No wonder in that if Blackmore knows tape echo stuff. He played quite well British "instro" style a´la Hank Marvin & The Shadows music before he become a guitar god.

so a simple cassette recorder is out of the question?

any 3-head tape player will work.  Doesn't matter what format of tape machine it is e.g. reel to reel, cassette, etc.  but, it's gotta be a 3-head tape player, which is fairly rare in cassette format and not really even that common on home RtoR players.

Cool photo.  I wonder what kind of conditioner/rinse he uses.  Ritchie also wore those platform shoes to break ground loops as well as accentuate Ronny James Dio's tinyness.  Wasn't that picture from "Rainbow Live:  Hair Farmers and Hobbits Unite!"?

you need to read about Lester William Polfus, he sorta invented a lot of thing's back in his early day's and tape looping was one of them.

Initials are N.B.? From the looks of it, it must be from the Stompbox Cookbook.

How can you tell if your tape deck has 3 heads? My tape deck is  way old (1980s) it is a seperate, it has line in and out as phono, do you think this is suitable?
