Thanks demo great love to have one i first heard a reverb from a store from spain the pioneer-SR-70 reverberation amplifier has the inward triangular display window the face plate silver the store is in south spain called "TechoGold" from marabella Spain video was posted October, 31. 2023.
Thank You!...took me about 15 years...but i think i can finally get a decent drum sound in my little studio. thanks! (u87 on snare, fet47 clone on kick and stereo overheads (townsend labs sphere) ...keeping it simple seems to work out!)
I have one FOR SALE on Reverb - serviced by a Tech and now with Wet-Only-Mod, Jacks I/O & new Power Plug. Ready to use in the studio right away, Plug&Play! 💥 😃
2:25 the tape inputs the way they were originally intended. Are they inputs and out outputs but just running through thr same verb? Is thr idea you can use it as a send from 4 track tape recording?
Sorry for late reply. the idea with the tape ins/outs was so you could attach 2 tape machines from your home stereo, and add reverb to your recordings. they function the same as the amplifier outs..same reverb signal. Wouldnt work for 4 track recording. mode selectors on the front panel are used to route the signal. (either A play back, B record or the other way around)
I just got mine in the mail! Have a pretty strong hum and I am wondering if that is just mine or if yours is the same. Yours sounds pretty clean in the demos. Any suggestions?
Mine is clean...(luckily...it's over 30+ years old and has been sitting in storage for years) but I'm used to dealing with issues with old gear, so here's some ideas. I'd start with some simple fixes....try plugging into different outlets (if you have a power conditioner plug it into that)....try different RCA cables....rca is not grounded so noisy especially with cheap cables....you could try converting the outputs to 1/4" TS connectors. (that's one of the fixes that I've seen other guys do) But...most likely you have a bad or worn transistor(s). (pioneer apparently used really bad transistors in those units...2SC871 are rated in the top ten of worst of all time!) i have not had to replace those in mine (yet)...but i did do some research before i brought it out of storage. They can be replaced with KSC1845. if you search mouser or digikey you should be able to find them. I've also seen rebuild packages on amazon....but don't know if i'd trust the components in those kits. there's a lot of space on the circuit board so not that difficult a job. if you're new to soldering you could probably still do it...but i'd practice on something else first. Last and most modern solution...buy izotope RX (or another really good noise reduction plugin) and try that out. I use Intellijel springray spring reverbs as well, those are REALLY noisy...but with a little noise reduction it's not noticeable in most mixes.
found one of these at goodwill for 3 dollars 5 or 6 years ago. very cool to see what it is capable of. Perfect shape but it is missing all the knobs. any ideas where I could locate more?
I just acquire on of these and excited to use, when I hook the RCA to 1/4 in cables ( and also RCA to XLR) I get a horrible buzzing/hum. Any advice on how to fix this issue?
If it’s a really loud hum it’s probably a ground issue…but it really could be a ton of different things. I took mine apart and cleaned it, checked all the caps and replaced some of the diodes. But…mine was in pretty good shape to begin with. I’d suggest taking it to a tech…but it’ll probably cost more to fix it than what you paid for it. If you’re ok with soldering I’d suggest sourcing parts and fix it yourself.
Thanks for a great video! Love the sound of it. Do you (or anyone else here) know how the 202w differs from the 202-model? Just got a chance to pick one up, but the internet I very sparse with information about the 202.
Thanks a ton for the very thorough demo. Had a Realistic Radio Shack reverb amp a long time ago which had a great silly rockabilly slap back vibe... but it grew legs and walked out of a shared rehearsal space : ( So wonderful to stumble on your video after seeing Sam Evian mention it here ... ua-cam.com/video/d8vvBlVXJUM/v-deo.htmlsi=O1n8OwFoX5SPJqBY ... and this very cool mod circuit review here ua-cam.com/video/LaYSQjFpL1I/v-deo.htmlsi=r3uxFXuzx7qY3XmG
How are you not popular yet? The depth of your videos are amazing.
Thank you very much!

That drum kit, Rhodes, and sax all sounded retro-jazzy-funky great! Nicely done, and thanks for the demo.
Thank you. it was fun putting that video together
This was a fantastic demo, exactly what i was looking for to hear studio usage. Also your drums sound fantastic.

and... i had a real drummer tune the drums for me...that made a big difference!
Used by the Beastie Boys on their “Check Your Head” album 👍
Sounds awesome on the modular! Nice overall applications on the full mix, love your music! :)
Fantastic video mate
Wow love this video! Just bought one myself and waiting for it to arrive while watching this
has it arrived? what do you think?
GREAT video on one of my fav cheap reverbs!
I also have an RA-990 and an SR-60. :)
You could use mid side to put the verb on the side L-R

@@RobeMusic thanks for the reply it's a bloody cool unit. But I can't see myself using it like that :)

@@RobeMusic This is extremely helpful!!! Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. I'll try a few things you suggested and hope for the best.

thats a good deal. hope it works ok. sorry no idea where to get knobs.
Very Nice Groovy Video !)
Can I hook this up to my pioneer SX636 receiver. And if so how?
Yes. Just follow instructions in manual.www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/pioneer/sr-202.shtml
Thanks for this

No I don’t have any experience with the 202. Just 202w.
@@RobeMusic thanks for the answer. Guess I’ll have to try it out myself :)
@@markusartved8272 when you get it, let me know. maybe we can send a file back and forth and compare..I'm curious!
@@ketweller007 Sure! They would be fun to compare. Just picked it up today :) Going to test it out in the studio asap.

Thanks! I’m going to check out both of those links. Appreciate it. I just love “crappy” spring verbs…some of them really sound special.
