if it has 2 heads (record+play) and a monitoring function (ie the tape is read just after being recorded), you now have a tape echo

If you can vary the speed, you can adjust the time of the delay!

a friend 'gave' me his teac tascam 32b. gotta say i was very excited about puttin mixes through but after some try outs i got disappointed, too much noise when tryin to get to a decent level not mentioning the cost of tapes (regarding the fact that once you record a loud signal on tape you wont be able to erase it completely while the sound quality deteriorates with each overdub). my guess is that those small tape recorders are still quite a bit away in sound quality from the big ones used in mastering (studer etc).

True, but depending on what style you are going for the noise could be used for good effect.

A friend recommended these teac machines to me a while back and he swears by running his stuff through tape. But its not minimal techno, he does more dj shadow prog rock type stuff. So the noise works as extra texture gluing everything together. (void pedal on myspace)
