I've never played a standard spring reverb that sounded like lazors

@@singer3188 then you never took one apart and played with the springs! (or dropped it while it was on) They are pretty awesome.

@@singer3188 my amp has a spring reverb, if you hit it slightly it sounds somewhat like this one, though much shorter and higher pitched

I do have access to a spring reverb that's in a crate mx120r 212 guitar combo. The reverb sounds amazing but otherwise the amp isn't that great in the tone department. Maybe I'll rip that reverb outta there

@@singer3188 You can pull out the spring "tank", they are usually mounted to the side or bottom of the cabinet with rubber washers, away from the speaker (to reduce feedback). They tend to be hollow on the bottom, made from folded steel. Turn it over. Pluck the springs. Freak out. No worries, 99.9% of spring reverbs are low voltage passive components. A few mount a small amp on the board, but don't pass current thru the springs themselves. I have a few sitting next to me. The nicer ones have 3 springs while most have 2. If exploring is not up your alley, and your amp is solid-state, pick up a corner about an inch and drop it with the reverb cranked. be amazed. (does not work with digital).

Plot twist he is know that so he made this

Idk about that cus he has another video where he is messing with a spring reverb unit

I was gonna say... 😀

@William Stevens are you suggesting he made a fool of himself?

Google YAYBAHAR to see another version of this idea.

Now they got '57 Reissue Relic'd Slinkys. Same badass sound for 1/10 the price.

The best slinky reverbs still have cobalt in the metal

I really can't tell if you guys are joking

@@saillively Thats what im wondering lmao

@@saillively are you even a guitarist? Slink’verb coils have been used since the 60s Hendrix used a Minnesota James copper slink on Electric Ladyland not to mention Clapton’s Beano tone was heavily shaped by his nickel-steel alloy coils. Tone slinky’s are ubiquitous among musicians today, and while their a lot more compact these days, you can hear them on many of the top 100.

There's gonna be hundreds of slinky pedals

I mean not to be that guy but...that's kinda what spring reverb already is

Piezo and slinky apparatus have been used as a foley device for laser sounds for a long time.

@@TomMilleyMusic not to be that guy, but that was the joke

@@NotDingse I see no indication of that, and if it was I couldn't care less lol. Life goes on

I thought it would need much more tensions to work at all.

I knew that it would sound exactly like this.

we be slinky reverb

this comment broke me. 😂😂😂😂😂

This cracked me up. Good answer 😂

Yea, but it's 10× cooler

Yeah man, it could also have multiple piezoelectric drivers and pick-ups for stereo or more.

better yet one take, two slinkies

Yeah, you got it

😜 sounds like a setting on a Strymon Big Sky .

Genius

That made me laugh way harder than I should have and I’m not ashamed.

Okay...you got me 😂

Don't be mad when you see that we want it

Lmao

Best comment fr

Oh, look it’s my other favorite English electronics musical instrument hacker musician guy lol I don’t know how I have more than one of those.

Cross over!!!! Cross over!!!! Cross Over!!!!!

“ my other favorite English electronics musical instrument hacker musician guy” hmmmm You know they’re from different countries with completely different accents?????

@@thesadwolf Bro come on, every english speaking person who lives outside of Merica is from England didn't you know that?

I second this motion!

Check out Justin Johnson's video "When Someone Hands You A Bottle Of Tabasco On Stage". He's jamming blues slide on his Jack Daniel's Whiskey Barrel Tele-Style, through a spring reverb. That twangy Tele slide through a tank sounds like the Devil's comin ta gitcha. I want to try that w/an acoustic.

@@emilyadams3228 would be cool if Justin used his shovel

@@Dong_Harvey And played The Doors: Waiting For The Sun. "Can you feel it, now that spring has come..."

That's some Tom Waits shit, right there.

Like a slinky octopus drum computer...thing...

I like it too, the slinky resonating with the notes adds some really cool harmonics in some places

@@mayhapsvenotcaleb4576 yeah it's like a broken classic spring reverb. It's hilarious how much it sounds like an effect you can create with RC20

you never heard of a plate reverb machine ??

@@raymondo162 lol. Still doesn't directly translate to putting a slinky on a guitar.

Yes! A vibraphone guitar! You could control the tone/speed of the disc with a sewing machine pedal.

omg

...

You win one internet.

Unironically, this is basically how real spring reverb works

Hmm, autumn actually.

In 1975, I accidentally found out that a speaker can also be a microphone. Nowhere near as good, of course, but I did get a fairly clear signal. So here's what I just saw in my fluffy brain: From left to right (I'd draw this on here if I could): Speaker; Slinky taped to the speaker cone; Other end of the Slinky taped to a matching speaker cone; this speaker is plugged into a mic jack. I'm not sure how well that would work, but I thought of the transducers in a Fender Tank. You'd probably have to turn the mic speaker (pickup transducer) up real high, & the whole thing would have to be in an amp case surrounded by pillows, or in another room for studio work, but it might be pretty cool. You never know.

Maybe if you want to actually build a guitar. Putting them in a finished guitar is probably impossible

@@Laurabeck329 certainly extremely difficult, but I'm not sure if I have the skills to build an actual acoustic guitar. I'm thinking though if I were to cut a large hole in in the guitar I could get them in easily and then just put a large panel over it, maybe a metal tray.

@@PhillipRaymondGoodman That would sound like garbage

@@Laurabeck329........ Well that is my sound aesthetic, trash instruments. Obviously I'd only do it on a cheap and nasty guitar, nothing really nice.

How about designing a guitar where the bridge and tailpiece are held in place by cables or ropes fastened to the tail and float above the body, but are connected via loose coily spring to something like a drumhead? Could one create an acoustic instrument with built-in spring reverb?

Cuvave or Rowin or Kokko or Nux or Twinote will clone Strymon and sell for 15$

LOL you guys are funny because it's true. But I think Line 6 already put this out in their latest update for the helix

You gotta watch his barbed wire bass and the video for no neck bass. They are hilarious! He is my favorite inventor up here.

YESSSSSS!

It depends on how loud the stage volume is, but quite possibly yes. Acoustic instruments without slinkies have that problem too, though.

You could attach it to somewhere in the audience and they could play it

ikr. Obviously for a spring release.

Gawd, if there's anything a girl does NOT want to hear, after her first time...

i agree

Link?

Sounds cool, is there a link to it so I can see it?

I am racking my brain trying to remember the dude's name or the name of the instrument. Gimme a few minutes.

It is under yaybahar. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lceJabepqJfTmnU.html

@@brianspenst1374 Gorkem Sem, I believe, and the yaybahar is the instrument. Edit: I didn't scroll far enough, just saw that you found it. My bad!
