Funny--I've been thinking more and more that it's kind of hilarious to use a
good digital reverb (i.e. one that emulates a "real" space) on sounds that
don't occur naturally in an acoustic space (don't nit-pick me)--know what I
mean? For example, medium hall reverb on guitar, bass and drums makes
sense--you get the illusion of a group playing in a certain space. But in
what space is a modular playing? Mind you, I'm talking about synth-only
stuff, not synth stuff in the context of a rock or jazz or orchestral group.
So I've been using the hell out of my Furman RV-2 with the MOTM stuff. I
love it. Has anyone used one of these old, consumer hi-fi spring reverbs
with their synths? I have three here at work that I haven't brought home yet
(three of us are temporarily using them as monitor stands!); I put CD audio
through one of them and was pleasantly surprised... Just curious to know
before I schlepp one home.
