Confession: I’m obsessed with spring reverb. I love experimenting with different tanks, amps, filters, and routings... and a wise friend (hey Gavsborg!) once asked me a great question: “What would it take away from you to build some boxes for other people?” Fast forward a bit to Jah Wise asking me if I could make him one. I couldn’t say no - he’s a legendary selector from West Kingston who has more dubplates than most people have vinyl. I challenged myself to use only what I already had (with a few exceptions), so I cobbled together some spare parts to make this. The thing I was most unsure about was the painting, since Jah Wise is a painter himself (he did artwork for Lee Perry and many others). I’m good at quite a few things, but visual art isn’t really my strength. I got a few tips from friends and dove in headfirst, from sanding to stenciling and touch ups. Now I’m thinking I could get used to building these, and I have a few ideas for future boxes... 🤔 🌀
