custom spring reverb is on

custom spring reverb is on

2012-06-20 by Andras Hargitai

Dear A100ers,

I am glad to post that the custom built spring reverb driven by the
a-199 is ready... It does sound amazing!
If you have the time and interest, here is a little test with a
Vermona drm-1. :)

Sounds really good! How did you build the springverb? I have the A-199 and have been thinking about connecting it to an external spring.

It is indeed really good :)
My engineer friend built it actually. He did some mods here and there:
-rft spring tank - not in production anymore, it has a wider spectrum than the accutronics 3spring..
-15V power for loudness
-power source is outside the box (he built the whole thing into a 1U high 19" wide disfunctional multieffect processor)
-he also changed one ic on the a-199 to make it less noisy
-it took him 4 days approx. to build it

i can ask you about other details too, msg me any time. 
also, i have checked one topic on muffwiggler - one of you directed me there too. 

as for the tank - i cant really help you out with anything much but: "look for a used one", because to the best of my knowledge these tanks aren't in production anymore...

Just another test:

sending phase shifted chords into the reverb - soft tweaking of the shift knob on the a-125 :)
