Cassette Deck Hack

Lush Projects has an cool tape deck hack that allows for some neat sound mods.

“First mod was to setup one deck to allow scratching. To do this I originally removed the pinch roller so that the tape could run free. Later on I realised I could modify the pause button to retract the pinch roller without actually pausing the player.

The second mod was to make a tape delay out of the two decks. The key point here was making a double cassette which allows one tape to be looped through both mechanisms. I then reversed the decks so that the machine recorded one one deck and then played back on the other a moment later.”

If anyone is interested in this stuff, check out Les Paul. He was an innovator in studio recording and the developer of the first solid body electric guitar.
