Revox Audio B77 MK2

It says on the Sound on Sound article published July 2020 "Another important element in the punchy drum sound that Parker achieves is the fact that he'll often feed a stereo mix of them onto one of his three reel-to-reel tape machines — a Revox B77, Ampex ATR-700 and TEAC A2340R — for added saturation.

"I'd say probably half of the drums on the album were run onto either the Revox or the ATR. I bounced some drums, put them on the tape, took them off and then never went back to the stems. Even if it didn't sound right, or something could've been better, I didn't go revisit from before the tape. It was like, 'These are the drums now... deal with it.'"
