Any real analog Spring verb owners?

How many here have old analogic effects like Springs or Plates?

I've tried one in the Strongrooms Studios in London (plate reverb) and a spring inside my old Marshall Valvestate guitar amp.
Both are not so realistic but very very musical, warm and beautiful (in particular the plate!)
Anyway they are hard to tune and full of (beautiful) noises

Honestly I prefer the software counterpart, more easy...

I have a Davoli Krundaal Spring that is 35-37 years old but I've changed all the transformer capacitors and a tech rebuilt the broken preamp section. It's solid state but high voltage with a great warm sound. I'm using it in Scope....in an "advanced" way.....

Keep them coming, I want to know how many people uses similar stuff or would like to take it back from the dust....

hehe, that's familiar. I've got an 80's jazz chorus-120 too. It resonates when you move the amp around. It sounds decent but not very flexible, one knob only

I'm working on a device to manage an external spring reverb, I have a pretty good beta, I think I'll upload it on Z.

It can transform it very much, with shaping and filtering to have all sorts of spaces and effects...

but it doesn't make that cool sound when you hit it Alfonso.

yes we need a vintage spring/plate reverb emu with a vintage virtual fist we can slam on it, or better yet, a vintage standalone fist which we can bang on ANY device to provoke random weird behavior. maybe this will even fix bugs that may occur, like on a tv set?

your modular 3 wont handle presets? SLAM-IT(tm)!
weird ambient reverb on masterverb? SLAM-IT(tm)!
is your minimax way to perfect? SLAM-IT(tm)!

i guess this should be in the wishlist section, im sorry

on topic: Great device!

not true, put attack at zero, full release, remove input hipass and reverb lowpass and then kick in a test transient tone from the Control room device at an healthy volume....a dsp kick!
