Nick_Black Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 ok, i'm looking into building my own reverb tank for my little prodject, but the thing is... i don't know how. i did a bit of reaseurch on the matter and it seams like it's just like a transformer only with springs, i was wondering if any body knows about this (if the springs have to be a certain distance apart or whatever) any info would be of help. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezerboy Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 http://www.electronicpeasant.com/projects/...gs/springs.html this tells you how to make a reverb tank using a slinky, might be useful to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_the_damned Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 hehe that's a great site! I might have to build that and the delay! mmm analogue got any more sites like that Weezerboy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezerboy Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 nah, not really - there was a link somewhere for a synth made out of cassette players....but i cant think of anything else right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_Black Posted August 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 ok, thanks for your help, so the reverb tank sends down viberations, which makes more sense, and picks it up on the other end, isn't that just a delay though? couldent that just be mimicked by a timer chip, or does the spring system add more "flavour" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_the_damned Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Reverb is a very short form of Delay really...or that's how I understand it. The spring will add more flavour as you can get sounds to 'bounce' and such. I've seen some digital delay circuits but I'm not sure about reverb. If you're looking for a circuit to run a reverb tank there's one on General Guitar Gadgets I don't know if it'll be perfectly suited for this reverb but I'm sure it wouldn't take much to adapt it.

Paul Marossy Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 (edited) I don't mean to be a party pooper, but why don't you just buy one? They come in all sizes and configurations and they don't cost that much. Finding parts that will work well for a reverb tank is not going to be easy and I really don't think that you'll be happy with the performance with the sorts of parts that you can get at the hardware store...

lovekraft Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I don't mean to be a party pooper, but why don't you just buy one? +1 - Accusonics has only been building these things for half a century, and they're both inexpensive and readily available. Why reinvent the wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
