Allsound PAM 2020/ PAR 1010

Post by Pegman » Sun Feb 23, 2014 8:16 pm

Hi,

just bought this tape delay in the bay for a very cheap price.
I googled the device but there is nothing that i have found besides that the company "allsound" doesn´t exist any more.
Does anyone have heard such delay before or even have made experiences with it?
peace

finally the tape delay has arrived and it´s really big.
It is an old style voice mixer which features a tape delay that is adjustable to each of the 5 channles. A very loud hiss is hearable, unless you dial out all high frequencie eq´s. I think the delay sounds decent but there are some thinks that i am missing. the rhythim of the delayed sound isn´t adjustable and it sounds a bit unmusical. But there is a feedback knob so you can change the length of the feedback loop. Also there is a distance knob which controls the tape speed, but it´s a bit loose.
it´s quiet a bit difficult to put it in an endless feedback loop, because if i bring in the aux send back to the device the preamp will double up the signal so that it´s very loud.
By the way the preamps have a very characteristic high shelvie sound which sounds great when slightly distorted. I don´t know if there are valves in it.
I will upload some samples soon so that you can hear that thing.
peace
