Reviews
A basic Spring Reverb as your always on acting as an ambient frame around your music has been part of thousands of players signature sound for decades. As a verb sound on paper it is very simple it has only 2 reflection's when any actual real word reverb has thousands and at least dozens that are perceptible.
In spite of that those springs create a very complex sound travelling thru those springs at very random speed that causes a rich sonic output. In short it is very hard to nail. A giant cathedral reverb is easier.
This one uses a Fender Vibrolux as its candidate to clone. It is generally considered Fenders best.
The layout is Decay, Blend of dry wet, Tone and modulation to let the pedal double with a touch of Sci Fi dreaminess. a toggle give you classic spring, studio and tank reverbs.
I can not fault the quality of sound and the graphics have a bit of old school industrial Steampunk I like. Considering it is an always on kind of pedal I find the price fair. Even if one wants a modern all the bells and whistles shoegaze verb it can be added to a rig without making this redundant. In fact the all bells and whistles pedal may only have a half life because a new one comes along with a louder bell and more shrill in the whistles.
