I recently bought a Peavey Backstage Plus and that’s the exact same reverb tank it comes with. Amazing little SS amp that takes pedals wells and punches above its size. the reverb is indeed quirky & very spacey but it’s functional even for being in a piece of inexpensive gear.

Hi Ryan, I stumbled across this amazing video right at the time, as I took an old reverb tank out of my marshall dsl 401, cause I didn't like the sound of it in the amp. I gave it a try to process vocals, guitars and a rhodes piano. Amazing results, I also experimented with effect pedals in front of it. For the guitar sound I took an overdrive pedal to form the sound of the reverb even further. That was so much fun! I even had to smile like you, because the sound was so nice.

Can you tell us how to build a plate reverb? This truly does sound amazing. I will definitly build one or two at some point!
@saoirsepup3 жыл бұрын
Same general idea, but you need to use a thin sheet of metal (usually stainless steel) hung from a frame, usually with minimal contact. Attach a piezo mic to the plate, and point a speaker directly at the plate, nearly touching it. Amplify and record the output from the piezo. The plate needs to be taught in the frame so it doesn’t swing around, allowing it to reverberate.

This confirms my suspicions of the general principle involved, would still love to see a build at some point just to help iron out any kinks but I will have to give it a shot sometime, seems simple enough.

@@creativesoundlab the easy way is to get a pair of cheap computer speakers and some contact mics and glue them to the spring's ends. this creates a longitudinal driver rather than the more traditional torsional driver, which results in more random resonances and "splashy" sounds, so it's not ideal for creating generic reverb sounds. the more involved way would be getting spring reverb replacement parts and using those

if you're going the more DIY route you can also experiment with using guitar pickups as "taps" at different points along the spring, much like a tape echo with multiple heads

Ghetto style: I've been building mine based on a 1978 scheme, with shower heater springs driven by a 4" radio speaker... Driven via either mixer aux or interface phone outs. The scheme used phono needle pickups to capture the reverb, I began with reversed earbuds. Now on the process of installing an electret + DIY IC pre... but i wonder whether using an electric guitar bridge piezo would sound nicer, since with the earbuds it sounded really cavernous.

OOOOHHHH?! You didn’t even have the driver circuit from the amp to drive the reverb tank’s transducers? You’re overdriving those transducers then, no? This is a really great application. Using that headphone amp on the bare reverb tank. I have burned my fingers back to stubs trying to solder up all types of schematics, in my efforts towards finding the ultimate spring reverb circuit. This is the end of a whole chapter of my life, really. Hmm!? Gets me to thinking about a new ambition, and all thanks to you. I’ve never seen a spring reverb tank that didn’t have unbalanced RCA plugs of any sort. So my new goal is to build a balanced spring reverb setup! I think I have seen double sets of springs before, for stereo treatment. I guess this could double and adapt the XLR, so I wonder how much that could help or harm a signal? Well, sending a balanced signal through two separate tanks is going to be anything but balanced at the output. This is gonna lead me into some experimentation. I’ll be a little smarter for it at the end of the day, so I’m gonna keep this in my thoughts. THANKS FOR SHARING!

I liked it much better with the string , but maybe just the level was a bit high for my taste. Do you like it that level or were you just making it so it could be heard? Anyway I must try this! I have an old combo where the reverb is a bit noisy, hopefully it's just the driver circuit not the tank. You've got me thinking about real diy springs from scratch somehow. .. slinky? bed spring? Not sure what floppy springs would work. Chain 20 retractable pen springs? Glue ends to a piezo? No idea really. I do find these (near) zero cost ideas exciting though, so hope they'll be more of those, these days I have no money!

Yeah WTF!? Mine had that written on it, too! And to think it was underneath the circuit boards until I tore open my old Sunn reinforcement PA. It’s dainty wires weren’t left with quite enough slack, so as the reverb tank shook around in there, it’s sharp edge of sheet metal sheared clean through the wire. This had to be the smallest thinnest wire I’ve ever encountered. Those transducers are something of an interest to me too. They twist instead of pushing and pulling, from how they are oriented. Spring reverb tanks are very amazing and awe inspiring works of art, with their isolating little coatings of wax or rubber and all those grommets. Completely intriguing works of art.
