Title: Spring reverb driver
Post by: jonnygreentrees on May 21, 2018, 09:31:37 AM
I've fished the spring tank out of an old Peavey amp and want to use it to make a standalone outboard reverb that I can use as a send effect.

Apparently I need to make a driver to connect to the reverb tank, does anyone know where I can get a PCB for one of these?

There's a surfy bear pcb floating around. I think tagboard has one.

of note, the surfy bear project (and all spring reverb implementations for that matter) rely on three key factors: decay time (short/med/long), impedance, and orientation (suspended, side mount, bottom mount) so just because you have a spring tank doesn't mean it is going to work for a given project. places like antique electronic supply have charts that will help you break down reverb tank part numbers into specifications. https://www.tubesandmore.com/tech-corner/accutronics-products-and-specifications
