Best Spring Reverb Pedals? [Surfy Bear, White Whale, Light Pedal, Headroom, Ana Sounds]

Your amp doesn’t have reverb? Want real springs? Start here…

Welcome to the show! Dan and I just LOVE reverb. Pretty much any reverb as it happens, but especially real spring reverb. There are many, many digital pedals that can simulate springs, but for us it’s never quite there in sound or feel, certainly when compared with the real, analogue thing.

In this video we compare some of the leading reverb pedals that use genuine springs, firstly into the front of a clean Fender Super Reverb (once we've heard its reverb and turned it off), and later in the effects loop of a Two-Rock TS1.

Please note that we’re not covering any of the tube-driven spring reverb tanks today (Fender 6G15, Victoria Reverberato, Milkman, E-Verb Ebo etc), mainly because we don’t have any of them! Maybe that’s for another day.

Enjoy the show!
