Hi,
For sale is a great Sound Sculpture STS Tape Simulator
The Stereo Tape Simulator is an analog processor that recreates the sonic imprint of vintage tape recorders. The effect provides the roundness, the punch, the compression and the saturation of magnetic tape.
The STS includes the electronics of a classical tape recorder with variable gain input stage, pre-emphasis stage, recording amplifier, constant current driven tape head, playback amplifier with 6dB per octave attenuation, NAB de-emphasis stage, filter emulating the effect of head gap and differential output stage.
The heads and magnetic tape behavior is simulated by the magnetic core of several coupled coils. The STS can simulate the tape recorder rolling at 3 different speeds: 7.5 ips, 15 ips and 30 ips. The tape speed modifies the bandwidth and the saturation of the magnetic core.
This unit has a few enhancements, such as diode soft and hard clipping as well as additional 7.5/15/30 IPS EQ mods for more control of final timbre.
Price is $650 plus shipping
I'm selling this, and other fine equipment, as I'm not making music anymore, so please also look for my other listings.
Here's the 7.5/15/30 ips special EQ modifications.
Effect Canonical
7.5 ips bass boost, high cut. 7.5A
7.5 ips bass boost, flat high 7.5B
7.5 ips slight bass boost, flat high 7.5C
7.5 ips slight bass cut high boost. 7.5D
7.5 ips smile curve 7.5E
15 ips smile EQ 15A
15 ips high boost 15B
15 ips smile curve 15C
30 ips bass cut 30A
30 ips smile curve 30B
30 ips flat !!!!! 30C
30 ips smile curve neutral bass 30D
