Scully 280
More than twenty
years ago, Tom Scholz advised newbie recordists that old (they
were old even then) Scully tape recorders were a high quality
piece worth pursuing. And after more than 12 trillion servings of
"More Than A Feeling", who can disagree?
The two-track
version of this germanium-fired crunch machine is our favorite
for rock & roll mixdown. It took MCI ace Steve Sadler a few
minutes to master this beast, but when he was finished, it not
only purred, it rubbed his legs! Combined with Dolby SR and
modern high-output tape, it sounds even better than new. Truly
one of our secret weapons! (Oops!)
Artists who recorded on Scully decks: Jimi Hendrix, Rolling
Stones, Otis Redding, Tom Scholz, O-Jays, Iron Butterfly, The
Carpenters, Isaac Hayes, Booker T. and the MGs, NASA (!)...
