###@§†==,¨ i don't really get how it works. it  has ¨,==†§@###
#§$=,,¨¨¨¨ two x  rca in, two x rca out, and four x ¨¨¨¨,,=$§#
@@@§$†==,¨ rca "tape out" which i guess is all four ¨,==†$§@@@
##@§$†==,¨ channels on  the cassette  - which means ¨,==†$§@##
##@§$†==,¨ the  b side is played backwards  if it's ¨,==†$§@##
