Ah. I'm not really familiar enough with spring reverb in general (the A-199 is the only one I've had) to realise the drip effect I'm missing, then!

But I should clarify/amend something I wrote earlier:

>> * The spring reverb tank picks up the mains power conversion hum very easily. I've got mine sitting on a box next to the Doepfer case, rather than leaving it *in* the case, and it sounds fine, although it looks a little awkward. One day I'll probably get a custom case and install the DIY bus board which uses an external power brick, which I'm guessing should fix this issue.

I've since switched to a G6 rack case, and Nina and I managed to mount the spring reverb tank in the top left back of it, by poking cable ties through the holes of both the tank and the G6 (those little airvents). I can't hear any mains hum anymore, so this setup is perfect for me... although if you like to pluck the springs as en effect, it's probably less useful for that.

All the best,
Zoë.
