[Vintage-Audio] What Did They Really Do?

I've still got a unit that I never used very much that is called a "reverb". 
I opened it up once and it has a giant coil inside that looks as if it would 
resonate below VLF.

Audio frequency, I suppose.

Anyway, one can adjust the reverb, or echo from very short to very long, and 
the level of the echo, as well.

If you set the reverb to very long, and the volume to very high, you could 
make music sound very, very bad.

I think it's been sitting on the shelf for over thirty years because I don't 
much care for it.

BTW, and off-topic, I went to a convention this last week where the closing 
night's entertainment was what's left of "Creedence Clearwater".  Actually, 
pretty darn good for old guys such as I.

My wife and I did dance, but not as long as we once did.
