Spring Tank Trio for Pedalboards | Anasounds Element Reverb 

Spring Reverb is a mechanical reverb system which uses physical springs in metal 'tank' to generate beautiful washy 'verbs. Anasounds Element and her trio of tanks is a no compromise pedalboard solution to get that real vintage spring sound and beyond! Anasounds Element: anasounds.com/element-spring-reverb/

Giant tank+ spring saturation + High pedal volume + mix is more reverb than dry = shoegaze

When i was young i always thought that spring reverb was only emulating a literal spring with water and reverb in a cave like enviroment, not an actuall spring. if you catch my drift.

That sound when you drop or hit an amp with a spring tank, lol You'll know it if you've had one 😎

Dude! Did not see that name drop coming 😍You're a sweetheart! I quickly tried these at NAMM, and they sounded great (from what I was able to hear through the hellish NAMM noise), and I'm happy to hear they sound just as awesome in your demo. Really cool concept by Anasounds. And thanks for going so in-depth with everything as you always do. Your videos are always a treat for the heart and the head ❤

It's always nice to see Colin so happy to talk about something he likes

This channel is the best ever for teaching me what it is that I want. I like the sound of chorus in recordings, but chorus pedals typically sound like crap. Luckily CS Guitars showed me the Boss pedal that makes the sounds I wanted. I wanted an EQ pedal, but I couldn't find anything out there that was really what I had in mind. Luckily CS Guitars brought me Target Mids. I like the sound of reverb in recordings, but most reverb pedals either sound garbage or do something different than what I want, and I ain't spending huge money on rack gear. Now CS Guitars showed me a thing that makes the sound that I want. I made a good choice to subscribe here.

These actually do sound pretty cool - I have absolutely no need for one - but I want one now! I'm glad the spring tank is separate, I was expecting to have the massive bashed spring sound every time you press the pedal board! My old Peavey Bandit has a proper old spring tank - it sounds really good actually.

"Ba-doing doing!!!" 😂 Oh my GOD my neighbours are going to think I'm out of my mind... that had me laughing like a madman... 😂

I've been wanting to make a spring reverb tank "pedal" for years and they beat me to it !

You gotta love the drip and the wetness of spring reverb

Whetch way to the Quiddich petch?

Get an actual huge metal tank, put a buttload of springs across it, peizo elements both sides, one for in and one for out. You now have a reverb unit louder than your dry guitar sound

GOLDFINGER!!!!

Completely unrelated to the topic of the video, but where did you get those string dampeners? They look like what Tesla pickups used to have, but even slimmer. I've looked for something similar for quite some time.

Very nice segment. Thoughtful product. What's not clear, either here or at the Anasounds site, is whether either or both of the EQ controls are applied to the "send" signal, the "return", or both. In particular, changing the low end of the send signal alters the impact and "splash" of the springs in response to sudden transients. Hence my interest. But a nice-sounding unit, and well-demonstrated. Thanks. In the 1960s, there were a number of commercial products and magazine construction projects that added spring reverb to car radios. The springs were generally of the short variety, similar to the Le Bon. As I understand it, however, none were of the 3 spring variety, usually only single or maybe dual spring. I'm working - albeit too slowly - on a spring reverb for myself, using multiple spring lengths and tensions, and a mixer to combine the different return signals. I'm also hoping to build in adjustable spring tension, with a mechanisms to pull the return transducer-end back a bit or loosen it, on individual springs. I look forward to the results.

Ever heard of a zubetube? It's basically a cardboard poster tube with a distressed spring inside and two plastic redcup style cups attached at both ends. Put your speaker up against one end and a spot mic against the other and you can get some really spacy (albeit cheap sounding) reverb.

I've searched the Internet for a real review of this pedal and IT'S NEVER MOUNTED under a pedal board... Everybody repeat what the manufacturer says but we never see it in real action = What's the interaction of the power supplies with one of these reverb tanks? I've had the Sole Mate jr from Van Amps that was designed that way but when you mounted the tank underneath a pedal board or put the tank inside an amp it produced horrible hum and hiss along with the Reverb... I do want a real spring reverb like that but want to make sure it works before buying. If anybody did mount it underneath a board with a pedal power supply near it, please comment!

I didn't know what the spring tank trio is or how a spring reverb EXACTLY works. But I was sure: Colin knows and explains it perfectly for clods like me! :D

I always loved the spring reverb "hit" at the beginning of Celia Ann: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-27VLlQ1Ax5k.html

Came for the Spring Reverb, Stayed for the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 nostalgia feels!

Love your Videos !!! Can this type of reverb be used for vocals through Mixer ?

Can you please make it so I can my my text ring tone badong badong

"Revearb!"

I can't find a Price for that. But i think it's too expensive for me, am I right?

I LOVE that Strat!

Will this work on Bass Guitar??

Anasounds are hard to find in US.

Ayyyy police truck!!

Fender had a separate reverb tank that was huge, it was the size of a medium sized amp head.. I had one for years that I used with a bassman. I'm definitely going to buy one of these. I guess the question is which of the three models... this helped, thanks.

Is that a metronome watch??? Pretty cool! Awesome pedal and tanks!!!! Gonna have to get one to use with my Marshall

I had a GBS back in the 80s...was like having a huge length of drainpipe exposed in your house...great talking point at parties and THAT sound if you nudged it when switched on! Spring reverbs are great!

I already have a TC HOF and a TC Trinity reverb along with a TC flashback and a wampler tape echo. Now I suddenly feel the need for one of these kits. I love creating ambient metal tones and those lovely Gilmour sounds. Excellent video, as usual!!

Police Truck!

4:29 "peck lightly" 4:33 "peck harder" Response Choices: A. "That's what she said!" B. "Well, thank you for the advice Colin" (he replied in a Ward Cleaver voice). C. There's this new technique called economy pecking... D. Troy Grady: "Hey code crackers, I'll help you master the downward peck slanting technique!" E. [Create your own response below] Love your accent Colin! Thanks for being cool about our jokes in your comment section!!

This is great! I love this idea. It's awesome and innovative. Anasounds' Utopia delay pedal is one I'm interested in as well

Ahhh man, 9:20 Goldfinger. Reminded me of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Thank you for that nostalgic ride.

Does it drip?

Theoretically you could hook any reverb tank that uses the same connectors up to the pedal and have a ton of control over an amps built in reverb tank that way. It should also be possible to hook the tanks in series or parallel which would be super interesting to see

I still own my Music Man 65RD bought around '79 and it has a gorgeous reverb. I also own a,deep breath,Carlton Camel FT 50,which I love[made in Glesga,by the way],. The reverb is not that great so this sounds ideal. Or maybe the Carlton needs revalved? What do you think Mr CS? [Great demo!]

Interesting.

9:20 🎶So here I am, doing everything I can, holding on to what I am, pretending I'm a superman 🎶 ❤️❤️❤️😁

Hell yeah- someone finally came up with a modern answer to the vintage Fender reverb unit. Sounds great, too! And Colin, are you TRYING to overtake Andy from Pro Guitar Shop for the sheer amount of GAS produced?? Now I want one... It'd be interesting as well, to see The Guitologist or Uncle Doug take one apart to see what makes it tick. Uncle Doug has the best video series explaining the whys and hows of tube amps I've ever seen- he just has a knack of explaining complex stuff in a way that makes total sense.

I appreciate you for sharing all the information you've acquired in a digestible and concise manner. With it all, ive been able to make more informed choices when approaching my equipment, enhance what I already have, be entertained at midnight watching your vids, and share what I've gleaned with others as well. Stay loud! (Or perhaps attenuate) lolol

Thanks mate. That Tele is delicious add another p90 And a bigsby if you want to kill me. And those pedals are super odd but rad!!

Great video - I must get one. Off the subject: do you prefer to record guitars with only room and speaker mics or combined with D.I. recording?

Police Truck *and* Wicked Game? Have you been spying on my playlist, Colin?

I own a VanAmps Sole Mate Jr, which is the same idea. BUT, it needs its own power supply (12VAC), the pedal itself is huge even with a separate tank, and it doesn't have all of the controls this one does. But the tank is connected by RCA plugs, which means it's probably compatible with this unit, and that is good since my tank is already screwed to my pedaltrain. In conclusion, I might give this pedal a shot.

Intredasting. I am a little concerned about the tank's reaction to heavy foot use on the pedal board, but this is a nice setup for those seeking spring reverb who don't have access to a unit built into an amp. I get folks questioning me all the time on my reverb sales when I have tanks for sale. They think you can just slap any old tank into an amp and be done with it. There are issues of circuit (capacitance and other considerations) that makeit a challenge to do so. This does away with all that. Thanks for the in-depth look.

Love you

Dig that you went to Police Truck by The Dead Kennedys!!!!

Lol @ 1:32 is CSGuitars version of “Wicked Game”

Song on 1:31 plz. Its just awesome

Great review and the best explanation of how spring verbs work.

A little goldfinger action? Nice 😎

1:57 fidlar?

This is amazing! It makes me think of the fender reverb units from way back when. Theyve taken that idea and modernised it.

Have you been playing tony hawk's pro skater 1 recently?

1.56 police truck, dead kennedys

To hell with you gut pluckers, I want one in my recording rig

I think this video is great just to listen to your Scottish accent 😆

4:59 my fav verb the just kickin it around :)

Thumbs just for playing a goldfinger riff haha

Even with the little feet/isolate-rs I can't imagine how you would stop the springs from banging every time you click a pedal switch? I could see mounting the spring units on a separate board?

Sounds great, just like a reverb should BUT!!! What about isolation? How does it deal with real world stage noise? (bass and drums) Lots of suspension?

Very nice Collin! I would use these.

Endorsed by Trevor Triceratops.

Here's the thing: its real yes (unlike big sky etc), but it doesn't seem to have anywhere near the lushness and power of a full size tank.

Great demo Colin! Very cool indeed.

Thank you for the DK clip!

AHH RECOGNISE THAT SECOND RIFF

but can you connect the tank in series ?

CSG 1:37 -What kind of trem is that?

This is amazing that sounds gorgeous to me ❤️

What a great idea! Thank you sir!

EARLY PATREON NOTIFICATION SQUAD

Are these available in the states? I'm in Phx and their site doesn't have any dealers.

Check the surfy bear

Now, I want a pedal that does the same, but allows me to switch tanks by foot.

Is that a Mjolnir pendant?

Miserlou is played wrong. Disliked and flagged.

Please tell me more about that strat and it’s pickups!

Police truck 🤘

Police truck!

10:00 🕓 Take a pill 🕔 Take a pill

I’m waiting for 60 cycle hum to do a full surf jam with this

Revairb.

Hearing Colin try to pronounce the names was definitely the highlight of my day.

Pulp fiction!

I just bought the boss frv1 63 reverb, what do you guys think would be better?

Sounds awesome

1:52 *steps on HM-2*

#bedoing

does it work in an FX loop without being overdriven to much ?

all the gain

Rey-varb!

Kool dude! 🎸 🔊 😨

Torsion shockwaves usually rather than compression

Now I want to see a plate reverb pedal...

Am I the only that's hearing very little drip in a lot of this? Apart from Miserlou, all the demos seemed very dry.
