Homemade Slinky Spring Reverb in a Cigar Box

Testing out the new reverb. The buzziness should disappear when I secure the piezo.

Nice! How is the croc clip coming outta the speaker? i don't understand that bit! :)

@jonnymagics It's glued to it with silicone.

I love this reverb. Is there any way that you are gonna make a detail video on how to make one? you know, with detailed parts and where to connect it everything step by step?

[lianimator]

Maybe. The basic setup is input->amplifier->speaker->spr­ing->piezo->preamp->output. if you can can put that together you should get a working unit. The amp is just a simple LM386 audio amp circuit by Forrest Mims III.

forgive me but when a girl makes a spring reverb out of a slinky and demonstrates it on top of a turntable, it might drive some guys crazy. (in a good way) Just a thought.... :P Great video! :P You might enjoy one of my recent videos titled, "A video about my music recordings". I talk a bit about reverb and how I slightly modded my spring reverb. There's some 4 track talk in there as well.

I've been messing around with an lm386 for a couple days, plus I have a piezo transducer, and I just located my old slinky from when I did a report on earthquakes as a kid.

Now I've found this video and it looks like you've beaten me to what I was already gonna make! I like the fact that you made a preamp for the piezo. My ultimate plan is to build a noisy cricket guitar amp clone, run it into a slinky and pick it back up with a piezo with preamp.

Excellent video, you beat me to the finish.

good job..but don't shout like that.

Great homemade spring reverb project! Thank you so much for posting this!

[eggniceshow]

can you share the wiring diagram for this one? nice work.

[perfuzz]

Try cutting some of the low frequencys with a capacitor.

TESTIES! TESTIES! 1 2 3!!!

Would it work if I plugged my piezo with a 1/4 jack socket into my four track which has an inbuilt preamp (obviously only through headphones on my four track)?
