"This is a one-of-a-kind synth module--a Synthesizers.com spring reverb built into a Blacet / PAiA / Frac Rack sized faceplate. I did the conversion myself. The module began life as a Dotcom Q115, and no changes whatsoever have been made to anything except the faceplate. The legending is just a couple of inkjet-printed stickers; the two knobs control drive and wet/dry mix. The item comes with the original three-spring reverb tank, two RCA cables to hook it up, mounting screws, and a special Dotcom-to-Blacet power cable, that enables you to hook this directly up to Blacet power. The module works exactly as it would have in a Dotcom system--the power specs are identical.
The only caveat I have about this module is that it distorts fairly easily (same complaint people have with the Doepfer reverb), and you may find that you want to attenuate the signal somewhat before sending it in. What I did was to split my signal with a multiple, send one to the final mixer, and the other to an attenuator, then the reverb, and then the mixer, to be blended in there. You may not have a problem with this, if you tend not to push your other modules hard, picking up gain at each on the way. Finally, I found it most useful to place the reverb tank entirely outside my Frac Rack case, to minimize hum from the power. The cables are plenty long for doing this.
Here's the Synthesizers.com description: ' The Q115 Reverb module adds the traditional reverb effect to the sounds from your system. A 3-spring mechanical reverb tank is used similar to the units found in Fender guitar amplifiers. The operator has manual control over the initial reverb spring Drive and the Amount of reverb mixed into the output signal. Designed to operate with the large signals produced by other modules in the system.'"
