Did you know they used to make reverb units for home stereo systems? Fab kicks off this excerpt from the video "Inside The Mix: Fab Dupont Mixing 1234" by holding the preamp section of an old Fisher Space Expander, a tube-based spring reverb unit from the 1960s, that people have been pulling the preamps out of to use as tube-saturation devices. Watch as he inserts it on the master bus of a song he's mixing.

Lovely glue...smooths over small imperfections. Thanks : D

Very nice. I actually am working on releasing a video soon where I mix solely using harmonic distortion. It's such an amazing creative tool but used in isolation, I actually felt like it made everything sound more retro.
-
The tubes give it more L/R separation with the reverb three-dimensionally (spatially) decaying from R/L-L/R whereas without it the spatial effect is minimal.

I just picked one up, do I just disconnect the reverb or do I need to do somwthing else.

Awesome!

Definitely adds thickness

Something throwing me off & likely throwing you off is that without's stereo signal is being flipped with. You can hear how without the guitar picking is on the right but then with the picking is on the left which throws me off. This makes me only focus on the mono to hear the difference because thats throwing me off in comparison(because my left & right ears are calibrated the same so I will always hear a difference that I cannot accurately measure in comparison...as to say even the same track stereo swapped will sound "different" to me). Focusing only on the bass & vocal, I hear that low end sounding bigger & more analog sounding with the overall analog curve sound w/o taking away too much of anything in the highs...even adding to them more punch while taming them.

Wow

For Info King Tubby don't use this reverb ( or very early production ) , the main reverb is Fairchild Reverbatron ...;) and it sound way better
-
nice one.... I really wish there was no pause during the a/b comparison
-
One sounds modern and one sounds classic. Go figure.
-
What song is that?
-
L+R Channels are inverted
-
With the tube sounds like high end rolloff
-
I liked it more without the tubes...
-
Hybrid is better, always has been and always will
-
go find the hardware somewhere,rip the pre apart, use it on a track...uhmmm not worth it, gonna grab a plugin instead, but nice try!

"de gustibus non est disputandum"... I like it so much better without the Tubes
