![]() The commission for the Maja Hoffmann/Luma Foundation Tank is supported by Sotheby’s and runs from 18 July to 28 October. In Kim’s work, visitors are plunged into a fantastical world of optical illusions that draws on a rich history of performance and film. This major new work is the first installation to be created especially in The Tanks, the world’s first museum galleries permanently dedicated to exhibiting live art, performance, installation and film works. manufacture" vs vintage tanks.A new commission by Korean artist Sung Hwan Kim was unveiled today in The Tanks at Tate Modern. It's been way too many years since I heard a 90s or 2000s Accutronics tank side-by-side with a vintage one for me to offer an opinion of "late U.S. When I looked inside both tanks, the vintage units were made up of spring sections that had subtly-different thickness and tension on them, while the modern tanks had spring sections that appeared identical. ![]() My experience wasn't that the length of the decay or the "quality" of the reverb was different, mainly that resonance and the resulting "tonality" of the reverb. Once I bought a 70s-era Accutronics tank, the Super Reverb again sounded like it should, with the midrange resonance. The resonance was at a higher frequency, and made the overall reverb sound brighter. ![]() When I bought a vintage Super Reverb, it had a modern tank in it, and the reverb did not sound like the vintage Pro Reverb I had at the same time. What I've heard in my vintage Fender amps was the old tanks had a resonance in the midrange, and that really works to become part of the amp's voice for onboard reverb models (Pro Reverb, Super Reverb, Deluxe Reverb, etc). ![]() Long story short, before Accutronics was sold to Belton Korea, you had a company that continuously made the reverb tanks from the earliest Fender units until the sale: Hammond -> Gibbs -> Accutronics -> Sound Enhancements were all one company/division of Hammond, spun off and whose name changed over time. My experience is more with tanks older than either of your reissues. ![]()
