Ritchie Blackmore's DJ Setup
Ritchie Blackmore utilized the AIWA TP-1011 tape recorder to achieve his desired echo effect during live performances in the Deep Purple Mk3 era, as confirmed by the source "Mk3 Sound" from BSM - Finest Treble Booster. Despite the availability of popular tape-echo machines like the Echoplex or WEM Copycat, Blackmore preferred the AIWA TP-1011 for its affordability and the unique "Sound-on-Sound" switch, which allowed him to create an echo effect by simply pressing a button. The AIWA TP-1011, a straightforward budget 3-head tape recorder, provided Blackmore a 1/3 second delay during his time with Deep Purple Mk3, and later, a 2/3 second delay with Rainbow. Notably, the AIWA TP-1011 was powered by silicon and lacked tube power or germanium transistors.
