PAiA sells a kit for spring reverb. I have one and like it (as much as you
can like a spring reverb). I have a love hate relationship with spring
reverbs. They are a unique sound. But, the clarity of digital reverb is
just not there. They have little high end response. They are what they
are. If you like that sound, it hasn't changed much.

Howdy,
This is in response to a pretty old thread; I've taken the summer off
from
synth stuff and am starting to slowly get back in.
Awhile back, your postings were 'ranting' about spring reverbs, and
therein lies my question. 30 years ago, I was doing a little work on a Moog
modular, and it seemed to me the reverb might have been an actual spring,
like you hit the table and get a sound.
I've now got a digital Alesis w/ more reverbs than I ever knew existed,
but I don't think it matches the depth or presence of, what I recall, the
Moog had. It was almost like an old rock 'n roll echo chamber.
So, am I out to lunch, or what. I'd like to persue the old technology.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Ernie Steck
