I use a Furman RV-2 stereo/dual-mono spring reverb with EQ and limiter with
MOTM (and everything else) on almost everything. It also comes in a mono
version, RV-1. I love the reverb, but the limiter is great too. They seem to
be going up in price a bit, so you may want to find one sooner than later (I
think that goes for all commercial/non-kit spring reverbs due to their
"vintage" status I guess).
If you just want to fool around, you could pick up a hi-fi spring reverb
really cheap--I have several by Sansui and Pioneer. My monitor stand at work
is a Sansui RA-500 (on top of a Roland TR77); actually 3 of us in the office
are using old hi-fi reverberation amplifiers for monitor stands! I haven't
used any of them in the studio yet (can't seem to get them home, 'cause
they're, um, holding up monitors) but we shot a CD through one and it
sounded somewhat bright and nice. We'll see. They're all over eBay. The
other cheap-o to look out for (which may be identical inside--anyone?) is
the Pioneer 202W (I think). There are several other models, with variations
on model numbers...
Anyone using one of these in the studio?
David.
