Distortastudio Cassette 4-Track Colour

Do you ever pine for the cheap and dirty, but somehow musical and inspiring, sound of your old portable 4-track? The Distortastudio brings that sound to your Colour Palette without a big tape machine taking up space in your studio. The Distortastudio's circuitry is directly inspired by the channel strip of a late-80's TASCAM machine. It even features the same opamps, obtained NOS (new old stock) and available in a limited quantity. Just like your old 4-track, you can run the Distortastudio at low gain for subtle solid-state dirt or at high gain for trashy distortion and hiss. FEATURES Four stages of channel strip circuitry Original, NOS opamps Compatible with the Colour format Black PCB Full, step-by-step assembly instructions For more info, check out our series of posts about the Distortastudio design process: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Samples Resources Assembly Guide (v1.1, most recent) Assembly Guide (Rev A) Schematic Design process blog posts: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
