I saw the Kinotone Ribbons was back on sale and tried to cure my GAS by finally soldering together my Hothouse and getting started with Daisy. What a fun platform! I put together a pseudo-tape-sim pedal with the help of Claude and am really happy with what came out.
The idea was to try to have a TASCAM 424-esque drive into tape saturation with controllable wow/flutter, tape hiss, and an end of chain compressor / gain compensation.
knob 1: drive
knob 2: low end tape saturation
knob 3: wow/flutter amount
knob 4: hiss/dropout level
knob 5: tone adjustment
knob 6: global trim
switch 1: tape age (degradation multiplier)
switch 2: tape speed (HF rolloff, headroom and saturation)
switch 3: shitty-walkman-esque automatic gain compensation
FS1: bypass
FS2: nothing yet
My first Seed project, and I’m really excited to keep working on it!
