I guess it was to record yourself on tape on top of music pre-recorded, like karaoke but at home For the guitar I think it was thought for acoustics. The reverb also points in that direction.
Hi Phil! Thanks for watching! Yes, it would make sense to plug in an acoustic guitar that has a pickup, since you wouldn't need a cab/amp simulator. Would love to hear from someone who actually used one of these.
What cool find. I hope you can find some more info on the intended use cases.That little spring tank is adorable! Have you thought about turning that into a pedal?
Hi Justin! Thanks for watching! That thing is so cute, isn't it!? I definitely want to convert it into something smaller like a pedal, not sure how easy it'd be though ;)
Well, the Thechnics SH3035 might in my opinion be a little bit lame, but however, 15 year old me 1982, Technics was the cream de la cream. I would love you to tweak this old gear with an Arito touch 😀
My guess is, if you play music through it, it probably mixes the L&R out of phase to lose the vocals. A lot of Japanese tech was built around creating karaoke back in the late 70s and early 80s to do just this. Feed a sine wave into the line inputs in phase and see what you get at each output at the rear.
Hi, thank you for offering your thoughts and suggestions! I went back and tried it, quick answer is, nothing changed. Played: a sine wave, a mono jazz recording, and a regular stereo song. Tried both the rear line in, and the front aux input. Also tried both the line out and rec out, but unfortunately, they all came out unaffected. Thanks for the cool suggestion though!

Your videos are never a waste of time.
Hi Sid! Thank you so much for always checking out my videos and the kind words!! I really appreciate it, and it's really encouraging :)

Hi Patrik! Thanks for always tuning in! Yes, Technics was one of those brands we dreamed of as a kid. I definitely want to do something fun with this!

I would love to make a pedal with a small reverb tank like that. Nice find!
Hi, thanks for watching! Yes, I'm definitely toying with the idea of making this into some type of pedal when I find the time.
