Honey Amp kits sold out
Quote from: saturated on February 02, 2025, 05:43:03 AMAbout forty years ago when I was still in college and working part time the university had afternoon/evening classes I guess it was geared towards working older people![]()
So anyway I was a 🦇 vampire staying up all night doing homework and playing guitar 🎸 etc and my routine had me going to bed 🛏� at about 0530. I had found that Casper the friendly ghost 👻 came on like at 0500 and that was my SOP.
So what does all that have to do with anything?![]()
At night in the small town it got quiet with the exception of an audible hum![]()
Sometimes I would have the windows open I was in an upstairs room at the end of the house. This (real or perceived) hum/pitch/monotone frequency tormented me to some end. In fact I made a few nocturnal excursions around town looking for it. I would drive around to different areas and shut the engine (slant six 66 Dart) off and sit and try to determine where it was coming from.
Spoiler alert: I never did find it or find out anything.
When I told my dad about it he said there was a composer that went crazy because of constantly hearing 440 or something![]()

What is the signal chain though? IE - is the guitar going straight into the cassette adapter or is there a preamp or pedal first? Any added distortion circuitry?
The chain is:
Guitar>headphone amp>cassette adapter in recorder>out (cabinet or p.a.).
On the first video, there's a couple parts of the first clip where I lower the volume of the recorder and you can hear most of the distortion get dialed back. It basically adds crunch on top of whatever you're using to push the recorder.
[EDIT]
And for anyone curious, the schematic for these recorders is freely available on Elektrotanya: https://elektrotanya.com/sony_tcm-s63_s64v_s65_s66v.pdf/download.html
