A-199 Spring Reverb Module : Great but...

8 years ago

Sounds lovely, big and deep, I use for studio as an FX send not just for synths.

When i saw a picture of the tank I bought a bigger one to arrive to hook up to the Doepfer unit, don't do this, the tank supplied may be small but it's perfect and sounds big.

I found the unit was very noisy, the RCA cables supplied are not of adequate quality and I was about to return this unit when I replaced it with higher quality shielded RCA cables, and immediately 75% of the noise went away, make sure you roll the 'emphasis' knob to 1 o'clock to get rid of some the noise.

Also i found the feedback knob to be an unpleasant effect.

Otherwise, sounds great and great price, would recommend.
