Just got a Yamaha MT4x cassette 4-track. 
I'd always had my eyes on this model and found a good deal that included a very nice SKB case, 5 TKD blank cassettes, and the manual.
Put it through its paces tonight and recorded this little ditty, which is a song in the works.
Acoustic, vocal, and mandolin recorded with a Shure SM7B plugged straight in (via XLR-to-1/4-inch transformer adapter). Electric guitar recorded direct with a Line 6 HX Stomp.
Plate reverb (all tracks in varying levels) and slapback delay (on vocal) via Behringer DR600 and VD400 pedals, respectively.
Everything was one take except for the mandolin (because I can't play mando very well!). Just wanted to make sure everything was functioning on this thing, and it is!
Great unit this one. Very solid transport, 3-band EQ, auto-punch, 2 memory points, DBX, selectable tape speed (1x or 2x), record all 4 tracks at once, 2 aux sends plus separate cue buss. Nice!
