APV valves are self-cleaning and designed to eliminate dead spots Dead spots are abnormally fast decays of the fundamental tone on stringed instruments and are caused by a damping of the string's vibrations at a given note, due to energy transfer from the string to the instrument body.  and to improve shot-to-shot repeatability.
