I thought by now you would have suggested throwing some tubes in it for the next mod.
  Just the opposite is ~the same thing:
  Throwing a digital delay line in my Tube Reverb !

Oh no, don't do that!!! You're gonna kill all the mojo!!!

Don't you know those computer electrons seek and destroy vacuum tube electrons??? :icon_mrgreen: :icon_mrgreen:

  "Installing' might have been a better term for implimentation of a Digi-echo feeds reverb 'fix'.
  A simple splice that could put it in could take it right back out...
  Now you've got me thinking about 'tremo-verbin' it by re-assigning the tube recto to signal path tube...using a SS recto for PS.

Wow, someone is already trying to make money on this mod. Lame. And look, they're using my clips to sell it. I'm reporting this shiz - for using my music, obviously. I can't do anything about the mod ripoff.

Thanks - I hope they tear the listing down. I also found one on Ebay in Spanish - reported that one too.

I wouldn't even be bothered that much, except he is using my music to sell it. These copy cat modders are getting lazier and lazier - they won't even record their own damn clips now!

Well, the perpetrator unmasked himself - it turns out he was a poster at HC who was asking questions about the mod.

It finally occurred to me to check out what kind of spring is in the Spring King. I don't remember the number off hand, but going by the Accutronics coding system, it has a 10 ohm input impedance. So, I figured, that's pretty close to the 8 ohm impedance on the 4AB3C1B used in Fender outboard units. So I hooked one up to the Spring King, and it worked great! It has a noticeably longer delay time - it's also way bigger, so I'm housing it remotely in a bread box. I'm going to put a 4PDT in there so I can switch between the internal and external springs.
