What's a tape zip? I think it's probably electrical, seems to be in the signal out rather than an acoustic sound. Doesn't matter if I'm playing or not, just has to be turned on. Cannons in pomp and circumstance, now there's a thought.

Banging on the Mk V spring reverb is how I made the cannon sounds in 'Pomp and Circumstance'. :-)

Could it be tape zip?  Sounds more likely.

You dont mean a spring boom do you ?  Anything with a reverb spring at volume can sound a lot like an explosion if shaken, kicked or otherwise disturbed.

What causes that sound  my tron makes from time to time? A short clicking sound.   When reverbed it sounds like a small explosion, it seems to occur at random. I know it's not just my tron as I've heard it at the end of one of Woolly's recordings from the BBC.
