The CAPS AMP IV does a great Fender Twin, and the #4 cabinet in CAPS Cabinet II seems to do pretty well as a 2x12 open-back Fender cab. But the classic surf guitar sound of course includes the high-pitched plinking of a Fender Twin reverb spring slapping against its metal case. If you haven't heard it, it's kind of like entering the V'Ger central core, but really high-pitched and fast, and in 16th notes while double-picking. > > Picking out a muted barre chord into a spring reverb turned up way too high, you can definitely *hear* the springs. > > This post hints tantalizingly about someone having created a Csound orc that emulates a spring reverb: > > http://lalists.stanford.edu/lad/2002/07/0252.html > > Anyone know if this is true, and where I could find it? Mmmm spring reverb. Brings back memories :) (incidentally they are usually quite easy to repair). Now anyone who can *truly* emulate that is some form of god! The all time classic for me was the instrumental Pipline by The Chantays circ. 1963 I think. -- Will J G
