springverb/electronics 18 Years, 1 Month ago
i cannibalized a springverb from a oooold guitar amplifier. it works ok despite it's kind of dusty and all that. but it makes a lot of hum 'cos i need to put the gain almost to the max on the mixer. then i put a DI box in between and it helps a lot but not quite enough yet. i just soldered cables in and out. maybe someone good with electronics knows if the system would need some sort of "RIAA" kind of pre-amplifying?

otherwise i gotta say the real spring sounds sweeet!

cheers

You should keep it with the amplifier and just change the speaker connection with a female output. Or just hardwire a cable with a male plug. I'm assuming the amplifier also had eqing. Just a thought...

I did the same with a cheap amp. I gutted it for a mini synth box. I plan to keep the amplifier for eq-ed distortion.

isn't the amplified signal going to the speaker way to loud for recording? say it's a 100Watt guitar amp, then the signal your tapping of the speaker outlet is highly amplified. that's way hotter than mic or line level signals.

Re: springverb/electronics 18 Years, 1 Month ago
yep, i agree that it might be a bit too amplified signal. maybe there would be something useful in the electronics of the amp before the signal gets amplified. well, this amp was quite fuked beign 30yrs old and last 20yrs in a moisty garage

i also found out that the input of the reverb can be _very_ loud, won't get distorted easily. but the aux sends are not loud enough so i should get somesort of pre-amp for the input and then just have less gain when signal comes back...

I have a accutronics reverbtank in my rack, just rca in and out, i use it without any amp... just max on the auxsend and max gain on the channel.... needs heavy EQing and sound very noisey and non-trebble-ish but really good...

A friend bougt a very cheap old phonicmixer with springverb in it, s? diffrent from mine, might just be the amp that makes it so wild in that mixer...
