Lancavern Tube Reverb Unit
|
What it is: The Lancavern is an all-tube point to point spring reverb unit that works great for high impedance signals (such as guitar) or line level signals (such as vocals). The Lancavern was designed to be as close as possible to plate reverb without a giant plate reverb unit.

Applications: On guitar, the Lancavern goes from vintage Fender tones to the deepest surf reverb tones known to man (with its stock Accutronix type 9 three spring tank). At line level, it's great for adding thickness and warmth to vocals (think The Zombies “Odyssey and Oracle”) and it also really excels on snare drums.
