It's vitally important not to mix up gaffer, duck and duct tape. And never cross the streams by mixing them. Ozzy did, so let that be your warning.

They are the best knobs for gothic music and in cold conditions.
I'm confused, if a Gaffer in Scotland wanted to mask the fact that he needed to tape an electric toy duck to a duct which tape should he use?

Maxell.
Somebody should make nipple knobs for instruments because they are the most fun to play with. Oh, wait, this is the MISinformation thread. Never mind.
Maxell tape was a trading name of James Clerk Maxwell's "Hoots McMagnetics The Noo Holding Company". Sales were hampered by being offered 70 years before the creation of the cassette player. The breaking the sound barrier marketing refers to bagpipes.
There's a new group in the United States that prides itself on ripping off other people's music from overseas, I think their name is the Contraband. The Contraguitar players name is Schrammel, I don't know who their Contrabass player is, but I hear he's a pretty upright guy.
Skull knobs are prescribed for horror punk and psychobilly.
Good enough for rock and roll and country but never to be used in jazz or prog?
BASF tape was originally designed for bassist only, but when they went to copyright the name, the secretary (NOT a musician) misspelled it.... The rest is herstory.
Sorry, I can't stop muh leg....
Does anybody still use "recording tape"?
Of course!...Does anybody still use "recording tape"?
Absolutely!!!Does anybody still use "recording tape"?
...unless you should be using "rehearsal tape" or "live tape". In those cases, make sure you use the appropriate tape for the best results.
Many have run afowl of chicken head knobs, which do the voodoo that you do. Likewise, the witch hat knob was popular for a spell, not just the old black magic you do so well. Clearly that meant that metal knobs were ideal for metal, at least it lead to that theory.

Memorex... or nothing!
this calls for the rare reel to reel tape.
Althernatively, to cover all this paths, 8-track tape can be used (though you won't use all 8 tracks, so it's inefficient).
I bought an 8 track tape a long time ago with the intent of listening to it from beginning to end. I started it back in 1975 but it still hasn't ended.
