best soid state spring ever

like a roland chorus echo's spring reverb section on crack... lush, not too boingy but not too realistic either, dead quiet and functional at instrument or line level with gobs of adjustable parameters to get the EXACT sound you need (and if its not quite right try hitting it into a gate)... I just dug this old girl outta my attic by chance looking for soe jeff buckley tour picks for some assholes on this site who want to buy them off me... once I found the Tapco I used it on some electronic music to liven up a few synths I re-amped thru my 60s Traynor PA (all tube, only 1 channel modded for guitar use, the others are synth heaven, guys) by patching this old girl in the line level FX loop, wow!

very affordable. I think I paid $25 for this unit....

I still really love the TCs [M5000 and 2290]. You can get really amazing digital feedbacks out of those. It's so astonishing because nobody is really aware that you can get something like that out of that equipment. It goes down to even Alesis [Quadraverb II and Midiverb]. Sometimes I'm using a spring system from Tapco [4400]. It's a stereo system and it uses different types of springs so the reflections are different.
