    British Spring … frequency ring

    I haven’t tried all the spring reverbs, just the British spring which was the first one I previewed. First, it does not exhibit this behavior on any of my solid body guitars. But, I have a Gibson L5 and when I play certain jazz chords it rings loudly. Minor 9th chords/ maj 6/9 chords I do...

    Wish Looper modeled after the Boss RC-5

    Lots of requests here for a looper. Here’s another one. :) Something like the Boss RC-5. Nothing outlandish, easy one switch control. I kind of like the Auto-Start feature of the RC-5 and its simplicity.
