jon	Re: Increase the decay time on spring reverb? really can't put more springs in there, mine's a 2 spring unit. tried messing with the spring tension, either lessening it or tightening it, just made the decay shorter. i'm thinking probably less stiff springs, also don't know if the stationary magnet pieces can be modified.....I've read that longer springs mean longer decay, wondering if there's some hotrodding to be done here.
