[sdiy] Build a Tape Flanger? (3)

[Theo]

I had a band mate who was skilled in doing this, but this was a long time
ago.
Now I think of it he didn't sync the decks, but had one deck play a bit
faster then the other.
Then he would slow down the too fast deck with his finger.
Thus making it alternating between playing too slow and too fast.
