4.3.3. Tank

The Tank section has a series of buttons, each one selecting a different tank configuration.
In the original spring reverb units, the tank was an inner aluminum "cabinet" that housed
the spring reverb components (the springs - usually two or three - and the transducers). The
use of multiple transmission (reverberating) springs housed in a tank with different delay
times allowed the simulation of a more natural ambience, as well as improving the overall
frequency response of the reverb.
This tank was then connected to the outer chassis by four more small springs.
The characteristics of the tank and how the springs were mounted inside it had a strong
influence in the final sound of the reverberation. That's why we included several options of
tanks, to allow you to choose which one fits best to the overall reverb sound you want to
achieve.

Besides the original unit's Gibbs tank, we added seven other models: various vintage and
modern Accutronics tanks, an alternate vintage Gibbs tank, as well as two special tanks: the
Synthi-A spring reverb tank, and the Space Echo reverb tank. All in all, these allow for an
extra degree of versatility.
Feel free to experiment with each modeled tank. You'll be surprised on how much the sound
character can vary with each model.
