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.
