"I did some demo recordings of a TR-808 run through some FX boxes. You hear a Roland TR-808 run trough the Korg SE-300 Band Echo, but this not in Echo Mode, just using the very nice distortion it can create by overdriving the input stage. After the SE-300 I used a Korg CMP-1 Compressor to get the levels a bit under control.
tr808_se300_pure.mp3
This is the "dry" signal from the SE-300, just every beat turning the Channel A - Volume knob up one digit.
tr808_se300_tape.mp3
This is the delay signal from the SE-300, so the signal was recorded to tape and played back again. Only the "wet" signal is heard, so no delay effect is perceived, just additional punch from the tape saturaton. Again every beat the Channel A - Volume knob is turned up one digit.
tr808_se300_spring.mp3
Same again, this time the signal is run through the built in spring reverb of the SE-300. Mix is 50/50. What a shattery and metalic sound that is. Again every beat the Channel A - Volume knob is turned up one digit.
tr808_solasound.mp3
The TR-808 is now run through a Solasound Tone Bender, which is a 70s stomp box. Again every beat the FUZZ knob is turned up a bit."
