DIY Analog Tape Delay 

Thank you

Thank you 😊

Nice! I’m currently trying to make a version 2 with a bias oscillator and electronic erase head. Hopefully it will sound much better once I get that figured out.

Nice. I watch a lot of his videos and he is a huge inspiration

Glad you are enjoying them. I’ve been slacking lately and need to make more soon.

@@SISKworks well maybe i can catch up then. Lol

Thanks! Yeah looking back I see I should have show more speed adjustments in the demo for sure.

Your comment makes me especially happy because this was the first video where I actually made a custom thumbnail with added text, big arrow and surprised look on my face in attempt to get the algorithm to work for me. Haha. Glad it seems like it’s working.

@@SISKworks hang in, it's working and your content is really good, kept me watching even though I don't have any physical audio storages!

gracias

That was a pre-built LM386 audio amplifier board I bought on ebay for super cheap.

@@SISKworks thx! I don't really mind eq'ing the signal but amplification is a must. Feels kinda weird to max out the mic input gain on the mixer so a pre amp is useful. thx!

No, I’m sorry but I never made any type of schematic for this.

Probably somewhere around $400ish. It kinda takes a lot of work to get all the mechanics working correctly.

Yeah the play and record heads are the same. They just can’t do both at the same time. Not sure what their names or part numbers are though. I just pulled them from old cassette players.

Yeah sure. I’ll take some free promotion. Thank you very much. Haha.

6V each

Thanks dude

I actually just started on building a second one and trying to make it better. But trying to do some of it a bit different so that one is still a work in progress. But I’m totally down to build a brand new one for you…for the right price that is. Contact me through www.siskworks.com and maybe we can work something out.

No, not yet. But funny that you asked because I’ve been thinking about this the past few days. I want to try a put a speed controller on the pinch roller motor to see if I can get variable speed playback. I don’t think it will work for video since that info is recorded on an angle on the tape. But I THINK if I find a non “HiFi” vcr it could work. I wonder if anyone has made VCR tape loops yet? Hmmm.

Yes I could. I’m actually planning on making one for someone else coming up soon. I just have a few things before that. But making two is VERY possible. But it takes quite a bit of work so it will cost some money. Contact me through my website if you are really serious. www.siskworks.com

Haha. Yeah me too. 😁 I’m just not great at documenting my work.

What are you even talking about? Batteries are not the focus of this video. Did you even watch it?

@@SISKworks . I was joking around. It just seems like a guy who would make something like this would be more resourceful instead of buying expensive non rechargeable batteries. yes i watched the video. Good stuff. 👍 I already gave you a thumbs up.

@@E-BikingAdventures well ok then. Haha. 😬 Thanks for watching. And TBH the dual battery packs is one of the things I don’t like about this project. but it really was only (easy) way to have clean sound with a PWM speed controller.

​@@SISKworks I was wondering about the dual supplies. I started having a go at one of these years ago, I wanted to put it in a standard 9v fx pedal configuration and one of the things I got stuck on was the PWM noise. Putting a battery in for the motor control (while powering the rest of the circuitry from a mains psu or whatever) was one option I thought about. I'm going to push the PWM frequency a lot higher than what I have currently (what's yours?), got some ferrite beads to try, maybe isolate the motor and audio circuitry with a transformer somehow. Great outcome with your project though!

@@sirgavalot Thank you. I actually don’t know what the frequency of my PWM is. I guess I could check that with my oscilloscope. Just never thought to do that though.
