jon	Re: Increase the decay time on spring reverb? Marco, I almost forgot to mention...you can also use a small push-pull tranny driven by 2 sides of a dual triode if the hum thing really bugs you. Strict attention to filtering/decoupling, star grounding, shielding, non-microphonic tubes, no ground loops and lead dress will really help to bring hum down. Often easier when you start with a clean sheet rather than trying to debug an existing design, especially if PC-based. Sorry guys, yuccch! Yeh, I know good P-C is great. But Bad P-C..... Jon
