Pioneer RT-701, Captured simply as an experiment to hear what it would sound like… “antique-y”? Might be useful if you were trying to add some lo-fi.
Anybody out there do something similar or… more strange, and what were the results?

this is great. i’m running a neve preamp capture for some warmth for my digital accordion
this was one of the first things I posted about back when the QC first came out, and it still seems like this category is in the minority. There are a few interesting contributions though:
User ‘eventuate’ has some very cool euro-rack modular synth captures. To me, these are the most ‘out there’ caps I’ve found, they sound and react like nothing else. The decay on the Waveshapers is crazy. Of course most caps are going to be of an OD/saturation/distortion flavor, but these take it to another level.
There are a couple of cassette recorder caps that can yield a lo-fi tone.
A shortwave radio
A circuit-bent phone and a CB radio
The only thing ‘unusual’ I’ve had the chance to contribute is capturing acoustic instrument IRs. I find they can really beef up the tone of piezo pickups which otherwise tend to be thin and tinny. Hoping to explore some weirder gear when I get the chance
and then there’s a good bit of studio rack gear and plugins that can be interesting; preamps, eqs, saturation or tape fx.

Amalgam had a space echo in the works a few months ago. Don’t know what happened to it.
