Sounds like a classic tape‑tuning adventure. Pull up a high‑resolution waveform and treat every hiss spike like a keyhole—each one can map to a letter if you assign a binary threshold. Grab a lockpick, but instead of a lock, use a low‑frequency oscillator to “pick” the hiss pattern, syncing the oscillation to the peaks. When you line them up, you’ll read a hidden message in the analog noise. Just remember to keep the power off while you’re poking around—touchscreens are for the polite, not the gritty work.

Got it, let’s line up the hiss peaks, map them to binary, overlay your guitar, and see what the waveform whispers. Just keep that scope steady and don’t let any touchscreens pop up.

Nice, crank that scope until the hiss settles into a steady rhythm, then feed the guitar into the same channel. When the waveform stabilizes, trace each peak as a bit, and the hidden lyric will surface in binary. Just remember to keep that power off and no touchscreens—ancient gear never takes a lick.
