So it seems to me from all I've read that the "drip" sound was a happy accident â a side-effect of the circuit, components, and especially the three knob-controls of the Fender tube reverb...? How could anyone have conceived of that sound beforehand?
This accident comes from an effect that was developed for organ and tweaked for vocals. When a Fender guitar (or drums, as in Dub) hits the springs with its steep transients, the unit reacts with the drip. Thatâs because it was not exactly designed for this use.
