Roland VS-840


The Roland VS-840 is another piece of equipment that Andy said was used to record a lot of the bands material, originally thought to only have been used on D>M and Kicking Cars, it turns out the band also had it while recording a lot of songs that are on Ferric Oxide, the most obvious of which being Neilssong, which uses the LO-FI Box "Retro Turntable" preset on the effects list of the VS-840 with the Yamaha DJX playing into it

The VS-840 also has a bit of an odd limitation where it cuts off a lot of high frequencies above 16khz, leading to something that resembles a purposefully lo-fi sound, despite this, it was totally unintentional.

I actually happen to own one of these and am still looking through a lot of the effects on it to find out what else was definitely used in Panchiko's music, so far i'm certain some of the guitar effects processing was used in No.8, Laputa, and D>M, but i'm waiting to give it a proper in-depth look before i say for sure.
