The demonstration at the beginning is so f**king rad. The combination of a modern-looking machine with a prominent display of analog chaos, the final sound after being routed through the bevvy of pedals...it's so damn cool, and coincidentally (purposefully?) evocative of the visuals of the game that follows.

Tape echo units are both neat and scary considering how fragile the tape is, also the track you made sounds like it should be in that game, amazing!

0:56 If there is anything as a pastel sound, that's how it described this warm yet crisp

I'm pretty sure that if I ever had one of these I'd just turn it on and watch the little wiggly guy do his dance and forget to plug in any instruments. I'd invite people over to come hang out and watch the little guy go, and we'd have such great times waiting to see what it did next and yet it would always find a way to surprise us. One day, I'd forget it's not really a squiggly snake and try to feed it crickets (for tone) and that's when disaster would strike, so I must wish the theoretical Efrim the Echo-Fix EF-X3 a sweet and peaceful rest in clouds of warm warbly wash. Should we use warm character delays during cold months and switch to our clean delays for the summer? How do I match my pedals to the weather? As a huge fan of delay, stereo panning, and hvac noises, I literally could not be happier :)))))

Regular gear channel: plugs a guitar into a tape echo pedal. Emily Hopkins' channel: plugs the four outputs of a tape echo INTO... FOUR DIFFERENT DELAY PEDALS! 😂😂😂

Im jealous of all your gear... especially this cool tape echo! absolutely killed the score though! really cool running the delays into more delays!

Well done. Funny, fun to watch, thoughtful, lovely :)

A boy can dream tho.. Loved the vid, as always. This is one of my faves tho, that vidja game music you made touched my soul, and did unspeakable things to it. Awesome

I've got a Roland RE-301 tape echo. the whole tape/tape head setup looks almost exactly like the Echo Fix (presumably because they based this on those old Rolands). I've never used it like this with an additional delay pedal after. It doesn't have the individual tape-head outputs though. That's a really cool feature. It does have the ability to split the direct/echo into two different outputs which isn't the same at all, but could help to add a lot more variety if you used two different pedals. It also has the sound-on-sound feature that you can use as a looper which is fun to play with. I'll have to experiment with using some pedals like this. Looks like a lot of fun. Cool video!!!

the squiggly tape loop in all tape echo machines.... is indeed sentient, just try replacing one on an old space echo and you will become familiar with their fickle moods very quickly. takes a lot of patience but is ultimately rewarding to commune with the tape organism

Holy shit that game track was fantastic, the pedal slow delay isolated adds to the creepy factor
