This unit sounds fantastic and has a lot of character. Sounds great when the gain is pushed !
Two channels mean you can use it for stereo signals too, really useful.
Also capable of self-oscillation just like the Roland space echo.. Super fun

Here is an article I found describing a similar Kastam 8-Track echo unit which i think describes this one very well:

"Kastam was bought out by Guyatone (perhaps) in the late 1970s. There are stereo RCA in/outs in the back unlike the Guyatones. Amazing echo unit. Looping via an 8-track tape. Delay time range is from a one tap (slap back) all the way to long echoing, multitap/feed backs. Delay time can also be fine-tuned via a small dial inside the unit as well as the dial on the front."

"You can set the max delay time to suit your style, so it can go into self oscillation, or just prior to, whatever you want. They're good for the road as they are more reliable than the loose tape Roland Space Echos, Echoplexes and so on. Very simple to swap out the tape -- just plug in a new one in seconds ... try doing that with a Space Echo."

Yes they are incredibly easy to switch out the tapes - saying that, this particular unit seems to have been taken care of as the inside is very clean and the cartridge fits very nicely in its slot. I have known some 8-track tape echos to be a little finicky to get in the right spot but this one seems perfect every time.
