. Describe the first type of reverb to be "invented", and the best types of microphone / polar pattern to use to capture this type of reverb. 6. What is the name of the famous Spring Reverb produced later by Hammond; 7. Name a when was it famous Plate produced; what Reverb and famous amp was it when it was used in? produced.

4. How does a Spring Reverb work? A spring reverb system has an echo chamber is Spring Reverb's two springs. At one end a The reverbs were done a sealed room origins date back to transducer is a attached which using echo chambers. which is fitted with 1939 when gives out the input of whatever This reverb was tiles or other Laurens Hammond instrument it is attached to. At recorded using a reflective surfaces patented it and the other end of the springs is condenser microphone so as to reflect the fitted his Hammond a pickup which produces an with a cardioid polar sound to create an organs with the overall output from the device pattern echo device. whether it be organ to amplifier
