Q
uestions people have asked
:
Q
: Do you offer gear C replacement? I was told that specific gear had issues.
A
: Yes. Gears for these units are no longer available from Tascam, but we have them in stock, but they are only available to those who buy a mod upgrade.
Q:
I'm concerned my unit will be damaged in shipping, what carrier do you use to ship?
A:
We use Fed Ex, we also provide detailed shipping instructions after your purchase. This will insure there are no problems.
Q:
Will this mod eventually degrade or hurt the sound or function of the unit?
A:
No it will not degrade, it will not interfere or change any function or signal path of the factory audio settings.
Q:
This mod looks and sounds great, but I really don't need it, since I record only analog why should I buy it?
A:
To back up tape sessions with the ease of a PC or with a secondary 8 track reel to reel, saving time and money and grief.
Q:
I have tried outputting my tracks individually to a PC with my current 488 and they end up out of sync. Will this fix that?
A:
Yes! This mod was developed for that reason, now all 8 tracks will sync perfectly in your PC.
