A-199 Spring Reverb Module : Doepfer A-199 Spring Reverb

An absolutely amazing module at a great price point. As usual for Doepfer, the look is basic but the construction is rock solid.

There are only four controls, so you can get into the module immediately without needing the manual. The feedback can really scream once you get around 3 o'clock, so be careful if you are wearing headphones as it can get very loud.

The standard reverb tank is fine for me ,and so far haven't felt the need to experiment with any others. One slight issue is the placement inside the case. The stickers aren't quite strong enough to hold the tank in place so it constantly fell down. I now keep the tank on top of the case, which allows me to ping and stretch the strings which can give some amazing Sci Fi Effects.

I have had no problems with noise and hum from the module, both when I placed it inside or on top of the case.

This is my first and possibly my last reverb module.
