A few days ago, I was excited to see Amplified Parts latest DIY offering, a compact Spring Reverb for pedalboards. I’ve been really impressed with the Mod Electronics pedal projects on the AP site, and all have been successful builds so far with satisfying results.
This arrived this morning with USPS struggling to fit the very long box in my mailbox, so much they left the lid open
. Thankful it was a nice morning! With it’s early arrival, I decided to dedicate it as my Saturday project.
Same as their other kits, Mod Electronics again has brought quality components here. This really is a great kit with detailed, thoughtful instructions and with everything included, you do get a lot for the $130 price tag. Keep the new projects coming, AP! How about a talk box kit??
The kit comes complete with a spring tank, pedal enclosure with faceplate and a remote. You can make your own RCA cables, which I’ve done before so I opted not to today.
There are controls for reverb, dwell, wet (on,off, remote) and dry. The reverb is really splashy when you want it to be, and I really love all the verb options the controls offer with this unit.
The build is pretty straightforward, and even includes sorted, bagged and labeled resistors (a time saver!). Enclosure holes are precisely and correctly drilled and match perfectly with the face plate. I like the face plate design - it’s minimalist and I’m sure appeals to a range of tastes. Contrasts well with the matt black tank enclosure. Low parts count, fun build!
This is a great kit and an amazing sounding reverb! Highly recommend this kit build, as I have with other offerings in the Mod product line.
9/21/2026 revision: I received an email from Mod Electronics that issues I mentioned in the initial post of this build report have been corrected in the build instructions and future kits. I removed mention of these issues and changed my rating to 5 stars. I admire Mod’s willingness to make adjustments, and as I mentioned earlier, this kit is yet another really nice offering from Mod Electronics.
