I am looking for some recommendations on spring tank selection.
As I see it, there are 3 main factors that affect the sound of a tank:
- Physical Spring/Tank length (short or long)
- Decay time (short, medium, long)
- amount of springs (2 or 3)
After a while of searching on the internet I get descriptions like “thick, focussed and wet bite” which don’t really mean anything to me. I am looking for a spring tank that has more of the characteristics of a hall reverb than a classic spring sound. Very spacial and ambient with as little as possible of this springy boingy slapback sound.
At a guess I would imagine that I should first test a tank that has: Long tank, Long Decay with 3 springs. Would you guys agree or offer anything else?
I can take care of the other factors (eg, impedance, mounting style etc)
I know that I won’t ever get a spring to sound like hall reverb. This is for a specific project with limitations, so while I appreciate all feedback, I'm not looking for suggestions to use different types of reverb.
THANKS!
