Absolutely superb overdriven sound – the circuit just eats up high signal and overloads so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHawk HR-40 \"Echo Unit\" spring reverb for sale. We're big fans of all these Hawk spring reverbs and this early one uses some uncommon\/early opamps for a particularly satisfying overdriven sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a definite 70s Hi-Fi aesthetic, albeit with a fairly business-like diagram across the front to explain the signal path, this stereo unit takes mic or line in via front jack sockets or line via phono on the rear. You then have various controls over the echo, including \"reverse\" which sadly does not offer a backwards reverb, but switches the wet signal to the opposite channel. Output is via phono on the rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a useful and good-sounding spring; where things get really interesting is how this unit reacts to being overdriven - pure magic when a guitar is plugged into the mic input, but also very usable and extremely gnarly on a whole range of sources. The flexibility offered by being able to just drive the dry or reverb signal, or a combination of the two makes this a very creative tool: the overdriven reverb sound from this unit is highly-addictive! With the added phono option on the input and a different circuit the HR-40 sounds quite different to the HR-45 when pushed - it can get very crunchy and vicious indeed...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe keep picking up these vintage Japanese machines – read all about them in our Hawk\/Mirano tape echo and spring reverb blog post.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soundgas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64116784693625,"sku":"423","price":1100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/7796\/8739\/files\/Hawk_HR-40.png?v=1785426889","url":"https:\/\/soundgas.com\/products\/hawk-hr-40-stereo-spring-reverb-423","provider":"Soundgas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
