Jack White Spring Reverb

@Fingolfen Yup.

"The three springs give it a more dense and modern sound compared to classic spring reverbs, and the high input impedance combined with low output impedance make it play nice with any other pedal, which is unusual for this type of circuit. Also, a fade in / fade out system avoids any splash sounds from footswitch activation on stage, an issue affecting many real spring pedals. Separate Low and Wet knobs allow to precisely set the amount of reverb and original signal, while a useful 2/knob EQ section allows taming of the low end under 700Hz and the high-end above 1.6kHz. The signal is fed to the springs via a warm-sounding preamp based on the Tone Oven by French builder Tampco, whose level can be tweaked for extra cleanliness or saturation via an internal Gain trim pot."

 
Eventually he'll run out of pedal companies he hasn't "worked" with,
and that's when Robert will get a call... "I want you to design some ThirdManRecord DIY PCBs for me..."
 
Hmm, but there needs to be some gimmick- like plasma, or springs, or no knobs.

Maybe like a socket sticking out of the face of the pedal. You can stick a component into it, and when you hit the footswitch it catches on fire.

The pop-a-cap.

Last week I was in Detroit for the Incubus show. I dragged my special lady friend to the Third Man record shop. It’s a great spot, lots of vinyl, tshirts, and some toys. I didn’t see the Grotte pedal. I would’ve enjoyed giving it a stomp.

The Ramp feature intrigues me. Where the effect fades in when engaged. Is that a feature that can be utilized on other effects? Time controlled?
I often turn Blend knobs up with my toe, while playing.
I assume it would be located early in the schematic, after the switch. Anyone know of a fuzz or trem etc. that has such an option?
