Nagra 4.2 Looping Demo


YouTube Uploaded by AntiEquation on Aug 27, 2011

"Nagra 4.2 1/4" Fulltrack Mono Reel-to-Reel with Custom Loop Modification. Demonstration of machine for sale." Contact http://www.anthonybisset.com/ Was listed for $1750 + shipping.


"It covers a wide range of delay styles from slap-back to washes to sound-on-sound and of course can be use for standard recording.

It comes with a good quality after market power supply, a 7" reel of Quantegy 480, a nortronics tape splicer, a tape loop and a roll of splicing tape. It has 1 high-quality Microphone Pre-amp with the second Mic Input Control configured as an LP filter for warmer sounding tape delay/feedback..

If you manually patch feedback you'll find the Nagra has more high-end buildup than most tape machines. I use it to good effect in my cannabis vatican track but it's not useful in every situation.

I have it calibrated for the Quantegy 480 that it comes with. After hearing this machine optimized it's tough to let go. 100% radiophonic workshop but hi-fidelity.

The lid is secured by magnet... It's effective in the studio and reasonable for traveling but not as robust as a normal Nagra lid clasp. The magnet is not terribly strong but a reel of precious recordings shouldn't be unwound across it

Rubber lid seal is consistent in color and clean looking sans two minor cuts/scratches a few centimeters long. The optional headphone-jack cover has a small bit of paint missing. The lid is very clear without any yellowing but has a few scratches that aren't so noticeable unless you are looking for them.

Cosmetics are 8 out of 10. The Knobs, jacks and everything else except what was noted above is in really good condition. "
