Make sure the track 4 [EFFECT] switch is on to enable the models and/or effects. Use the [REVERB] or the [DELAY] setting here and adjust the tone, etc. so that it suits your voice (you may want to make a few test recordings and listen to them to see how you really sound. Remember to turn the [REC/OL button] on while you're recording, and off when you're playing back). You don't need to record all the vocals in one take. You can record the first verse and chorus, for example, stop the tape, record the next verse, etc. This works as long as there is a short space between the vocal passages, otherwise the vocals will start to sound a little "patchy". Once you've recorded the vocals, you're ready to start mixing down to make a stereo recording. Once again, remember to "safe" the vocal track so you don't record over it!To prevent any accidental recording on your multitrack cassette, you can punch out the write-protect tab from the recording side (side A). Turn down the track 3 [TRIM] control, and unplug the guitar. [. . . ] Sets the delay time, from 80 ms to 1 second. The tap interval is exactly equal to the delay time.
