Techmoan's (techlord) video about this bush tape player from Argos got us thinking....y'know IS it REALLY that BAD???
yes. yes it is.
But that has never stopped us before! so on we go trying to make something half decent out of probably the single worst tape player being manufactured in 2022.
Shout out to the legend that is Techmoan for the inspiration, here's a link to the original video if you're interested: • Bush Portable Cassette...
Thanks for watching!!!

Battery Operated is an experimental sound and art project with circuit-bending as the main focus. Inside a backyard workshop in a small town in England; we tinker away at any junk we can get our hands on, hoping to find an unintended use.
If you decide to follow us on any of our platforms expect to see:
Workshop Hangouts, Ambient Jam & other Jams, Tear-Downs, Tutorials, Repairs, Bootsale Hunting, Everything Circuit Bending, Sound-art, Vignettes and I'll stop now because we have too many ideas....

I can save you the Patreon sub - Got to say I loved the episode, but yes…I can also spare you the postage…you might as well hang onto this one - I wouldn’t have a clue what to do with it. But yes, keep it up.

Wow it's the man himself! Thanks for watching techmoan, we're honoured! We'll hold on to the unit but I gotta say the idea of a techmoan reel to reel and tapeloop ambient set just brings me so much joy aha!

Great job you guys! Been wanting to make a tape echo out of a walkman for awhile, and this seems like the best way to do it! Could you perhaps put a wiring diagram for the pots to the pt2399 somewhere? I'd love to build one. Thank you!

Hey, thanks for watching! Yeah shane would most likely be able to share a fair amount of information with you, best option i would say, is to hit us up on Instagram (links in bio) let us know you are you and we'll definitely share some tips and tricks! Cheers!

Always enjoy your vids. I occasionally make and sell stuff. Delays built around theses pcbs and pwm speed hacked Walkmans some brands of new ones are quite decent sounding for cheap crap, with break out points being labelled and large. The pin 8 is a new one on me, I'm excited about trying that. For in fire repeats and screaming self oscillation put a 100k pot between the middle leg of the on board green pot and the nearest pin on C15.

Hey Stuart. Really appreciate the feedback mate!! Please send us a link to your Etsy or RU-vid/IG would love to have a look at your stuff. I haven’t really had a deep dig at circuitbending one of these delay PCB’s yet but I will now for sure. DM us on IG if you’re on there. Big ups

When I saw the Techmoan video, I thought, wow, this dodgy cassette player is like a best-in-class lo-fi effects pedal or plug-in effect 😂 Meanwhile, most tape echoes (virtual or actual) aren’t “lo-fi enough” to my ears, so thank you for your service to humanity 😅

@BatteryOperated
@BatteryOperated 2 года назад
The red board is a PT2399, widely available so you should be able to get hold of them, alot of our initial information came from the fantastic Okhousecat so we recommend searching "pt2399 delay okhousecat" hope that helps!

WTF? This is not TAPE delay. Tape delay done by 2 magnetic heads, you do it by digital IC PT2399 delay. Brain delay...🤦‍♂

are you kidding your using an analog device to do nothing while the echo circuit makes the echo.... why no make an echo circuit from the tape...?????

Haha well you kinda got us caught in a paradox there because we started this channel to encourage people to start their own electronics/audio adventures.... so I would say definitely do that aha :) but we do sell some of the things we make on etsy too so I gotta point you in that direction also! Currently we don't sell this unit, however we are finalising ideas for just the effects unit without the tape player, that will go in our store hopefully before summertime! Cheers!
