Anybody want to trade a set of tapes?

2014-10-14 by Jason Wielispach

I have three sets on racks and one I never use. It's the flute/strings one. Maybe you have a set your not using and want to trade. I'd like one with vibes the best but I'm open to whatever. I also have a strange set of tapes that the has 7 sounds. Each half of the keys is a separate sound with some sound effects added at the end of one of them. I'd trade that also but I would have to have vibes because that set has one half vibes.

>> Hi Mark,
>> I've used the Nanoverb 1 that was built in to a small club sound system, and it sounded terrific, especially for the price, anywhere from $79-99.  Alesis & others do have other units for similar prices that may give much more flexibility, tho. While the Nanoverb is mono/stereo in & stereo out, the reverbs are strictly mono. They sound spacious (I had a favorite or two), but the stereo kicks in with some of the chorus & flanging effects.  There's no readout to easily show you your setting - you have to look at the knobs to see it - which you'd likely find in a bigger unit, & may eventually find useful.
