As promised, here is a comparison between the standard Doepfer tank
and the Accutronics:
http://www.distantdimensions.com/reverb_tank_demo.mp3
1. The first sound is the dry source.
2. Next is the 100% wet Doepfer/Belton tank with no feedback or
emphasis.
3. Third is the Belton tank again with 50% emphasis and feedback just
shy of oscillation.
4. Fourth is the Accutronics tank with no feedback or emphasis.
5. Lastly is the Accutronics with slightly too much feedback, which I
turned down as it got too hot.
As you can hear, there is some buzzing in the signal from the
Accutronics. I haven't made any attempt to find an ideal placement
for the unit yet, so the noise may be a result of that, or possibly
the long audio cable which is hanging down directly behind several
Doepfer power supplies. Hopefully it can be resolved easily, rather
than being a consequence of selecting the wrong tank specifications.
Fingers crossed...
The two tanks have completely different sounds, and I'm happy to have
both.
