WORKING CONDITION: Very Good. Although these units have a reputation for being noisy, the noise floor on this RV-1 is fairly low. All of the controls operate as they should, and the spring reverb is very useful for analog treatments.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Good. There is one original knob missing, and the chassis is discolored on the top. The face has a variety of light blemishes and wear typical of age and use, and the pots and jacks are straight with no i/o issues.

BRAND: Furman Sound

MODEL: RV-1

FUNCTION: Rackmount Spring Reverb

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a Furman Sound RV-1 Rackmount Spring Reverb. The Furman Sound RV-1 is a vintage mono analog spring reverb system originally released in 1982. Known for its unique, grit-filled character, it combines a real triple-spring tank with onboard tone-shaping tools like a limiter and a quasi-parametric equalizer.

SPECS:

• Serial #  C 1704
• The unit is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting (1U height) and is frequently used for re-amping, studio outboard sends, or in live guitar and keyboard rigs.
• Reverb Engine: Uses an Accutronics Type 9 triple spring assembly, providing a 1.8-second decay time with initial delays of 33, 37, and 41 milliseconds.
• Onboard EQ: Features a quasi-parametric midrange control (160 Hz to 1400 Hz) and a treble shelving control (starting at 2.5 kHz) with up to 18 dB of boost or cut.
• Built-in Limiter: Includes a limiter with a compression ratio greater than 10:1 and a dedicated green threshold light to help manage transient spikes before they hit the springs.
• Input/Output: Standard 1/4" unbalanced line inputs and outputs, typically found on both the front and rear panels for easy patching.
• Signal-to-Noise: Rated at 74 dB (A-weighted); however, users often note these units are inherently noisy, especially when boosting treble.
