Springophone Verticalis

The Verticalis is a more percussive variation of the Springophone. The springs used for this device are much bigger and more rigid. It is great to play drums on, either with human fingers or with the help of sticks, mallets or any type of object … or why not try a violin bow?

FX Section

NEW! You can now choose between two models : Springophone Verticalis or Springophone Verticalis FX. The FX version is slightly larger and includes a section of effects with two freeze switches, vibrato, distortion, stereo delay, HP and LP filters and reverb! (See specs below)

SPRINGOPHONE VERTICALIS FX

 

Body :
Aluminium enclosure with solid oak side panels // Large vertical compression springs of various sizes + two big clock springs (spirals!) // High quality stainless steel screws and bolts.
Enclosure: 432 x 254 x 76mm
Soul :
The sounds of the springs are picked up by a large piezo microphone. The signal then goes through a custom built piezo preamp circuit (to get nice low-end), then into an Axoloti core circuit board in which it will benefit from deep sound therapy through various effects :
-Freeze 1 : Very short delay time with very long feedback  (on/off switch)
-Freeze 2 : Very short delay time (different than Freeze 1) with very long feedback  (on/off switch)
-Vibrato (on/off switch)
-Distortion (pot)
-Stereo Delay (time, ping pong, feedback and mix pots)
-Lowpass filter (cutoff and resonance pots)
-Highpass filter (cutoff and resonance pots)
-Reverb (size and mix pots)
The Springophone Verticalis FX also features a stereo audio input (two 1/4 inch jack sockets) to plug any external audio source into its FX section. A mono external source and the internal piezo can also be used together.
Stereo output (two 1/4 inch jack sockets) + headphones out (stereo 1/4 inch jack socket).
Power supply (included) : 9V – 500mA + 9V battery for the piezo preamp circuit.
