I built two channels of Paia's Hot Springs behind a 1u panel when it first came out. At the time, I was very impressed with it. Although, once reasonably-priced digital reverbs hit the market, I put it in the closet and never went back to it. Now that I'm building a monster modular, however, I find myself really wanting that spring reverb sound in my arsenal. I'm planning on hauling it out, and if it still works, making an MOTM-style panel for it and mounting the four tanks in an enclosure on the floor somewhere (I doubt I could make them fit in a cabinet behind the modules, and they'd probably pick up hum or something anyway. I'll have to build some kind of mixer for the wet/dry effect control, because the HS was designed to run off a board. Spring reverbs, even great ones, don't replace the better digital reverbs, but it is a unique sound that I'd like to continue to have access to.
