1960s Fairchild 658 Spring Reverb / Ace Tone Rhythm Producer Dub Demo

"This is a Farchild 658 Spring Reverb, a very cool verb with a built-in optical compressor to achieve different reverb tail lengths. All three spring tanks are active at once, and they are positioned veritcally on the grey rackmounted panel. We used Mike's Ace Tone Rhythm Producer to test it after repair and I must say... it's a lot of fun.

The reverb was sold as perfectly working, but the compressor circuit had many faulty caps, two dead transistors and a burned out lamp. It's working great now!"
