haha! Wierd to even reply to this but...we didn't mess up a tape echo - it's an instrument we made dubbed the "magnatron tape echo"...The "magnatron" was originally created by arius blaze about 7 years ago, here reinvented and running through on board echo effects. The "magnatron" is an instrument based on the idea that one can play magnetic tape by hand with a tape head, thus creating a "scratching" effect. This is an extention of that original idea.

are they old floppy discs you're reading with a magnetic head, processed through a digital delay?
