Fw: [sdiy] Build a Tape Flanger?

[Paul Maddox]

 Hi,

   Ok, totally useless fact time...

 Its called flangeing due to the fact (as florian said) but changeing the
 delay time of one of the two tape decks,
 this was done by pressing gently on the 'flange' of the tape reel to slow
it
 :-)

 sad I know this, very sad..

 Paul
