It also was the forerunner of effects we routinely hear now in live performance. I had a device called an Echoplex, which was a short tape loop. I could play duets with myself during a solo.


I'm old; been there - done that! I hated splicing tape!

I had a Dynacord Echocord: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiBeTGL-eCk

The same tape loop idea as your Echoplex.

Along with echos I could get the sound the Stones used in Satisfaction by turning the volume up on it and down on my amp. I attracted a lot of guitarist back then using that technique. Today the amp's gain control is used.

Things have really changed for the better haven't they?

My momma didn't raise a fool. And if she did it, was one of my brothers.
