    Learning more about Reel to Reels

    I read Jack Endino's Nirvana Faq last night ( http://www.endino.com/nirvfaq.html ) in which he states that Kurt's amp on Bleach was recorded - "Close-miked with an SM-58, recorded to Otari [ MX-5050 Mk III ] half-inch 8-track at 15 ips with no noise reduction."

    Headphones for a Soundcraft M4
