Permalink TAD Reverb Pan - Best pan ever!

New Topic
Goto Page: 1 2 3 Next

I bought the new TAD Reverb Pan a few days ago and I have to say its better then every pan I have heard before!

I tried nearly every pan (Accutronics, M.O.D., Gibbs)
The TAD rocks them all away! It has much more wetness and a kind of a more aggresiv sound(in a good way).

They even did some research on the old pans and tried to optimize the problems the old pans had. In cunclusion I would say they did a really great job! The second factor is: Its made in Germany! Not in Taiwan or China. So the building quality is superb!

Nowadays you can get everything you got back in the 60s. With the Surfer, G-Spring and the TAD Pan inside you can't go wrong for the ulimate Dick Dale Sound!

Yeah, I admit I got a smirk out of that one. Mistakes in grammar, punctuation, spelling, syntax, and style are things I'm inclined to pounce on. Yet sometimes I am horrified to discover just such errors in my own posts, even though English is my first language. No excuse in my case.

I think LaFleur was just excited about finding gear that gets him closer to his dream sound. Completely understandable if you've ever spent money on stuff that failed to do that. Like him, I've tried Accutronics, MOD, and Gibbs. All good in their own different ways, but still not quite doing it for me. Now it looks like I'm going to have to take a shot at one of those TAD things, too.

Looks interesting to say the least, also looks expensive.

If I interpreted "26,00" Euros correctly, about US$34 right now. For comparison:

Hmmm, much more interesting now. My Euro to dollars skills are weak to say the least.

Are those available in the US anywhere?

You can order them directly from TAD. You only need a credit card. I guess every American has a credit card... Laughing

Yeah! Thanks for the infos!
They are not very expensive.
I ordered a pan a few minutes ago. I am really excited for it.
These days I play an old Gibbs pan in my blonde Reissue tank. It`s not bad! But I will change it for the TAD soon then and will test it!

My old `63 tank sounds fantastic with stock pan!

Twang cheers!

Hi Ralf! Please let us know the results, or even better post a youtube video of the test. Very Happy

We've talked about this before, but it always helps to remind people that vintage pans are very inconsistent, one can't make a generalization about them based on one or two experiences.

My fingers are crossed that these TAD's are good sounding pans. I know their tubes are pretty good.

Looks a lot like the MOD tank, except the finish is different. How does the sound compare to the MOD?

TAD dose it again! Love to here it.

Giibbs are ALL over the map. I have had dozens. I have 2 or 3 really good ones right now.

Give me reverb or give me death!

A bit different, it has more wetness and more juice/tone

...you can go wrong for the ulimate Dick Dale Sound!...

I love examples like this. Linguistic explanation: Easy mistake to make if you learn from conversation. It's hard to hear the postive/negative contrast in American English. For "can" the positive is (unstressed) ~ (stressed) (1 = mid central barred i; 3 = low front vowel ae), the negative is (7 = glottal stop). The n is usually just nasalization of the preceding vowel. Looks like a typo, could be a typo, but probably isn't. The actual pronunciations of the negatives of the auxiliaries are pretty wild: : , : , : , : , etc. Or some places they say , , etc. (U = lax/short u or "oo", I = lax/short i) You can actually omit glottal stop in fast(er) speech. Some people omit it at all speeds. Final t is almost always a glottal stop, so as with can't, so with cat, etc., only not nasalized.

I'm betting this is never taught in English as a foreign language classes. It's certainly not taught in English as a native language classes!

Sorry, I now return you to the regularly scheduled discussion of gear. Rolling Eyes Pans ...

Many people really are interested in language and the expression of ideas. To others, these things are "sh*t."

BTW... i kinda agree that you can go wrong with the dick dale sound... its a bit too IN YOUR FACE for me:)

I wanna play just like him when i grow up...

No problem. I realize it was OT though relevant and I apologize for the OT aspect, but I notice people having problems with those negatives all the time. Said aloud this is all actually much clearer. Like watching somebody play vs. tab. Native fluency speakers don't notice the oddities. They've been trained to hear the abstract structure (the original historical situation) implied by the spelling.

Try this: the way the average American says "can't" sounds a lot like "can" looks, spelled. The way they say "can" sounds like either kin or can, depending on whether they accent the word for contrast.

He'k'n do it. I'k'n do it, too.

but

She can do it; I can't.

But the final "'t" in "can't" doesn't sound like the t in Teisco and is nearly inaudible to non-native speakers. It is the sound you get for "t" in American eaten or button, or "Cockney" bottle. Or in the middle of "uh uh" meaning no. This mysterious sound is called a "glottal stop" in phonetics.

If you speak some variety of British English this may all sound very strange and implausible. If you speak American English and you are a really good speller it will probably sound equally implausible because you have learned to "hear" the spelling. It may not apply very south of the Mason Dixon Line, either.
