Does it actually use tape, or a microchip? How would they fit 9 tape loops in there? The only blank cassettes I have are plastic-welded or some crap like that. I can't even open them. So I have no experience making loops.

they wouldnt put nine tapes in there, it would just be tape and reels, ever seen an analog echoplex guitar pedal?

Nah I'm not really familiar with that stuff. I wish I were, it would be really useful. But I found this on the ad for the one I bought on eBay.

"The Buddha Machine is a small soundbox made in China which comes with an integrated speaker, a volume control, mini jack-out and a switch to choose between nine different loops which are stored on a small chip and can be directly played by this mini soundsystem."

I thought I had read something about a chip, but all the talk of tape confused me.

So what is the term for the box? I'm having trouble finding any info on google or wiki.

yes they have, especiallly loop 9 played with 5-6 machines, and the others routed through their laptops.

The quality is not what I hoped for, but it picks up really well on guitar pick-ups, so it doesn't have to plug into anything to go over an amp. Definitely over-priced, but it's pretty cool. I got the hot pink one, though.

I would be wishing for the hot pink one.

Ya the color is growing on me. But now that I've been messing around with it a bit, this thing is pretty fucking rad. Adds nice ambience. Actually makes obnoxious noise effects sound much more pallatable.

Nope. Nothing to record with. I should get some kind of input thing though for recording. There are some videos of them on YouTube, though.

Lee uses a Mooger Fooger Ring Modulator and a Line 6 delay. Thurston uses an MXR Phase 90 phaser. Maybe that's what yr talking about?
