HM, you must agree - this thing is shamelessly OVERpriced. Just look inside. Part of the problem/reason maybe, thou... that it's harder to sell a product like this in general, so to keep the 'producer' in biz you have to price it trippled or so... hmmmmmmmmm ? I am not sure really...just my speculations. <BR>The other side, not to miss!!!! What does it mean exactly "The best sounding spring rever I've tested"....????? Does it mean - 'cleanest' ...or something like this. So then, this maybe not exactly a 'positive' for what you may expect for your specific production needs. The 'dirtynees' of old spring-units/cabs is maybe exactly what you want. well, it all depends... <BR> <BR>For 600+ bucks unit, I would want to have allots of control, adjustment(ability) of vary parameters, something handful and useful which you can't find in 'regular' spring unit ala do-it-yourself.... see what I mean? <IMG SRC="

this is most eye-hitting line in this review: <BR><FONT COLOR="ff0000">You can even use the Real Reverb with drums, though you have to keep the reverb level fairly low to avoid giving the game away.</FONT> <BR>heh heh <IMG SRC="

Vermona products got 'balls' ..heh heh ;) and their spring-box is cool as it can be... extra tweaks make it a creative tool for vary application... not to mention 'kik-crash button' heh heh ;) <BR>From production/technical point, I'd say 'true-stereo' dual spring is sort of silly thing. Send single voice/instrument/chnl through the single spring first, then "stereophonize" it later in the mix <IMG SRC="

about true stereo springs: i also experienced that a mono spring is better if you want to bring out the boingy/shattery aspect of a spring reverb. using one spring on the left and one on the right gives a very broad stereo feel but it smoothes out the grittyness of the spring. to get a stereo effect rather pan the reverb slightly or heavily to one side an apply a bit of (digital) room reverb to it.
