Listn Tape
Drive. Glue. Roll.
Saturation, wow and flutter, and tape compression.
Drive the tape for warmth and glue. Pick the speed for the low end bump and the top, set the bias, add a little wow and flutter, and turn the hiss on or off. Auto gain keeps the level where it was.

- Bias from under to over
- Wow and flutter
- Hiss you can turn off, auto gain
Drive
Push it into the tape.
The big Drive knob pushes the signal into the tape for warmth, glue and soft peaks. Auto gain brings the level back so you only hear the color.
- Saturation that rounds the peaks
- Auto gain on or off
The meters
Read it like a machine.
Two VU meters show the record level on the left and right.
- Left and right record level
