Speaking of springyverbs, I saw in the latest EM or SoundOnSound that a
company is making a dual spring reverb in a 1U rack. It has a "short"
(0.8?) second reverb and a long (1.5?) second reverb, which can be used in
serial, and possibly also in parallel. It was kind pricey at six or seven
hundred dollars... but now that I think of it, if it was in SOS, it would
have been 6-700 pounds, which would be even worse!
Anyway, they, like the truth, injustice, and ex-significant-others, are out
there. For better or for worse. I'd like to hear it, personally...
