I found a couple of lovely old 1960s Gibbs spring reverb tanks I'd rescued years ago in the workshop and had a go wiring them up as a stereo pair - the setup grew on the bench adding an old TEAC RA-41 tape preamp as the recovery amp and my experimental tube vox-box oscillator along with the workshop's trusty Alesis Micron (supposedly only in here for test purposes but somehow ending up on so many recordings!) feeding my old prototype tube BPF box.. high voltage and cables aplenty - it was really quite inspiring... :)
