Excellent review, thank you. I have had some previous experience with an old hardware spring-reverb (Many years ago, a big metal box I can't remember the name of), and you're quite right; the PSP is too 'bumpy' compared to what that old thing sounded like (Although you could probably build a hardware that had that sound) The Klanghelm is much closer to how I remember the hardware sounding. The hardware I experienced wasn't really very 'springy' in its sound, but sounded closer to a plate-sound (Except with more 'rolling' back and forth of the sound) than the very jittery sound you got with the PSP. I have not tried the Klanghelm yet, but judging by your video-examples the Klanghelm sounds very much like the hardware I tried (The hardware I tried was the size of about a big speaker or a standard PC-cabinet. I can't remember the name of it, but inside it there were 3 springs hanging next to each other, not very tightly strung up but quite loose, so you had to be very careful when moving the box physically or it would make a ton of noise as the metal-springs started dangling around :) )
Hey @JELmusic Really glad you enjoyed my video and thank you for the wonderful comment - that is fascinating stuff! It's great to hear back from someone who's had actual hands on experience with the hardware, and really interesting to hear that Klanghelm is hitting the mark with this. My only real experience with spring verbs is from guitar amps really, so I probably unnecessarily equate them with being a bit cheap and cheerful - the fact that the high end units could be so plate-like and rich is amazing. Cheers again :)
Try Arturia Rev-636! It sounds almost like true analogue DRIPPY watery reverb! Perfect for surf-rock guitar! Would be great to see your comparison video. Spring Box vs Rev636!
Ooh, thanks @DemiAndHisSyndromes I haven't tried that one yet, but I really love their 140 Plate, so I shall give it a test and try and do a comparison video

In this video you can get the idea how spring reverb sounds.
