Deoends ...414 has a massive advantage in terms of tiny footprint and being easy to service. It's 2 band mid vs 2 band high low shelving eq, so that depends on taste and application. If youre looking for something with a complex mixer, this compares favourably with chonky bois like 246, 464, 424 mk iii

I always learn something new from your videos. I've just got a 3d printed headblock to fix my new Tascam Porta Two unit I got for just £30.
Thanks, glad to help. The 3D printed part sounds interesting, could you share a link please?
Demo song 2 was absolutely smashing! Blackened Jazz chaos.
What are your thoughts on this Fostex 260 vs Tascam 414 MKI/MKII ?
Deoends ...414 has a massive advantage in terms of tiny footprint and being easy to service. It's 2 band mid vs 2 band high low shelving eq, so that depends on taste and application. If youre looking for something with a complex mixer, this compares favourably with chonky bois like 246, 464, 424 mk iii
Those were awesome. Had teo or three of them back in the day
Yeah I like the 260, bit of a learnig curve but compares favourably with the best tascam and Yamaha units.
