That's nice but a bit big and double the price of a Strymon. It might be worth checking out if you aren't gigging
It is big, but it's essentially a Fender 6G15, or a full size spring tank. A vintage one cost a small fortune, the '63 Reissue isn't cheap either. The Surfybear is the same as 6G15 but uses JFET instead of tubes.
If you're after authentic spring reverb tone, this seems to be the least expensive way to go.
Yeah, this SurfyBear sounds great, lots of this beautiful smack if required. Yummy
I still wonder if I could make my own retrofit spring reverb that fits in the cavity in the back of my toaster. Maybe with the DIY kit they offer and a half sized spring tank. Hmm, will contemplate over that. Thanks for the heads up!
That would be a great idea!
Here is a spring reverb comparison video, it has the Carl Martin, the White Whale, the Boing and a couple more:
