What's a tape zip? I think it's probably electrical, seems to be in the signal out rather than an acoustic sound. Doesn't matter if I'm playing or not, just has to be turned on. Cannons in pomp and circumstance, now there's a thought.

Banging on the Mk V spring reverb is how I made the cannon sounds in 'Pomp and Circumstance'. :-)

Could it be tape zip?  Sounds more likely.
