Last year, I bought a pair of Danelectro Spring King reverb pedals when Sweetwater was selling them cheap. It’s a spring reverb with a set of three short springs, and a pre-delay provided by a simple slapjack echo. These are easily modified to provide longer, variable delay times as well as feedback. So I did. And added pots and paint, because the original was fugly.

Here’s a quick example of the Model 10 running through the original and modified Spring Kings. I hit it pretty hard, so it’s a bit clicky, but I am too lazy to re-do it. The second example is longer, since it can do more stuff now.

Thanks, yeah, me too. That was a neat (and accidental) effect. The delay used in these is not great, so results in pretty severe (and interesting) degradation at longer times or higher feedback settings. Which I like. :+1:

Octatrack and Eurorack (and a little Rytm) - absolutely love this sample material I dug out of the Prelinger Archive!

OT :octopus: + 707 :headphones::musical_keyboard: I realized I’ve done over 70 current sounds recordings the past 3-ish months. Should be a release in there somewhere at one point :upside_down_face:

They’re not bad! There are three in each pedal… they are short, but still have a pretty decent sound. It’s just what I need for getting my Mort Garson on…

Everyone needs to get a little Mort on once in a while!

I’d love to write something like the little pseudo-baroque bit on Black Mass: Lucifer.

It’s kinda like the town building stage of Actraiser if you’ve ever played/seen that game.

I just need to figure out the three parts. I can play a similar melody, but never get the complementary parts quite right. :smiley: Requires some good counter-pointery.

I need a lot of Mort, most of the time. Keeps me in good spirits.

Had a really great week, the start of something new in a while. A4+Rytm, forgive the muddiness.

Mpc X, Syntakt, Digitone. As always the mix is f***ed, but it is what it is. More of a test of the 3 machines together.

mort Garson was a hell of a composer (no pun intended) and a fantastic synthesist. No, I’ve never played that game (I am not a gamer), but that entire album takes me right back to my childhood, watching late night broadcasts of spooky movies of the era.
