Roland RX-100 Spring reverb

[Lu R]

Amazing what you find when you dig thru your old sound gear..plugged it in
and I get this rich thick REAL spring reverb sound..anyone else out there
own one?

There's quite a few outboard spring reverb units out there. Thats a
very compact unit. The downside of that is it uses one of those "OC
Folded Line" tanks. They really sound shitty. It can be made to sound
much better by replacing the tank with an Accutronics 3 spring long
unit that has the same in/out impedance. It won't fit inside the
chassis tho.....so it'll be an outboard reverb unit with an outboard
tank.

I totally disagree with this. I own an RX-100 and the reverb does not sound
shitty. Without putting to fine a point on it I am a reverb nut and have
had many different reverb units over the years, spring, tube and digital.
The RX-100 compares favourably with all of them, and it is one of the units
that I have decided to keep.

I like the RX-100. It IS a lush reverb sound and the suggestion that you
replace the tank with a an accutronics is off the mark, at lest with my
RX-100.
