Warning:⚠️ Please be cautious of your headphone levels and gain on mixer and other equipment when attempting this. I am not a trained professinal and I have cautiously approached adding the tank to the mixer(gain staging, eq, etc)

For the price of some of the reverbs on the market I have decided to try to experiment with a Accutronics 2-spring Long tank ( gifted to me by a great reggae musician and guitar player , Allen. Thank you !) for the dub mixing. There are a ton of different small guitar amps and different spring tanks. These are just what I have happened to get my hands on and are lying around. Gain staging is essential and protecting your ears from sudden loud noises stemming from improper connections. WHEN TANK IS CONNECTED 👀☠️ becareful of the springs themselves. If you want to touch them to produce sound it Is A VERY LIGHT TOUCH, almost like a gentle pass of the finger . If you press your finger in too hard or straight bash the springs it’s going to make the input levels on your fx return go haywire and possibly damage some stuff, including the tank! Thanks for watching and best of luck !
