Unconventional ways to achieve a sound

[DrumRookie]

And what is the most unusual and peculiar instrument or piece of gear you used to achieve a particular sound that you added into a mix, and how did it turn out?

Thanks Chris, I'm honored that you are willing to take the time to answer my question.

I ran vocals thru an old teac reel to reel at 3 3/4 to get a really compressed sound it was so cool nothing does that !!
