those are the studio standard from their day. solid machines. my sony dat died several years ago. the panasonics still fetch a price for the right buyer.
That’s always been my understanding though I’ve never actually used one. Back when I used dats (around the end of that era) I was using a Sony deck. It was fine but I did have to fix it a few times.
I’m not surprised to hear confirmation that these were top shelf, the guy who gave them to me has a home studio that made my jaw drop when I first saw it. He was in a successful hair metal band back in the day (you’d never guess it seeing him now) and while his band mates spent their money on coke he spent his on studio gear. Really nice guy too.

50th birthday present to myself–thanks to everyone who helped me realize what I really wanted on this thread. OM-28: was lucky that a nice local independent shop had one, since even Sweetwater is out of stock these days…

No keytar?
Is dissapoint.
Nice! I love re-knob projects! It can really change the whole feel of a module or synth.

What are the caps on the SQ-1? It drives me crazy that the pots don’t even have a marker to see what the position is…

It’s those ones:
And yes, what the hell they were thinking hahaha.
I was able to score (my 2nd) Chase Bliss Tonal Recall RKM. These are now discontinued, so finding a brand new one at msrp ($499) was awesome. These are selling for $700 -$1000 used now. Now I’ll have one on both my gig and my studio board.

What’s so special about it? It does look gorgeous, but I’ve been wondering why the high price considering there’s so many options available.
Aside from being a fantastic sounding analog delay, it has a small footprint, midi, CV, tap tempo, (really beautiful) modulation, and 1100ms delay time. Plus the dip switches in the back allow you to further manipulate the sound.

because it’s an awesome sounding boutique pedal and it’s discontinued.

Still, there’s a thousand boutique delays, many of them discontinued. 1k for a pedal is crazy and rare.
not as rare as you think…
