lofi diy slinky spring reverb experiment - with shs-10 and Noise Hero
YouTube via ChrisLody — April 24, 2010 — "Sorry for the volume fluctuations and distortion in this video, i did my best to even them out a little.
I had a play around with this after finding this article on how to build it:

From here:

The video show the dry output of the keytar and Noise Hero then wet through the diy reverb , which is basically just a slinky taped to a speaker with a contact mic mounted on it but it can make some pretty cool noises which remind me of the reverb in old dub records. Sounds pretty good with drums going through it which i forgot to do here. I found i got the best results with the mic near the speaker as quite a lot of the dry sound makes it to the contact mic and mixes with the reverb. Also i found it best to gather enough of the slinky at the top to allow space between the coil at the bottom to prevent any resonant rattling. It can make some very star wars like sound effects when manipulating the spring by hand too.

Cool. I read about this in the latest issue of TapeOp magazine. Ive been wanting to try it since I have a few piezo transducers laying around.
ReplyDeleteIts sounds a lot better than I thought it would.
Have you tried making a plate reverb as well? Same concept. You glue a cork to the center of the speaker cone(cork is suppose to be taller than the perimeter of the speaker,I think) then fasten the speaker to a large piece of metal of any shape and size. Then put a contact mic/transducer on the plate.
Sorry for my bad instructions.I am sure you can find better through google.
Thanks for posting this.
