The Good, The Bad & The Springy

Reverb pedals are a funny anomaly in the pedal world. Many pedal nuts will tell you how digital pedals just don’t sound right, sometimes its the highs which sound a little like static other times its the predictability of how they behave (yep that’s right, there’s even complaints about that!).

When it comes to reverb however we lap them up … why? Because there aren’t very many analog reverbs and those which do exists are quite big. In a world where pedals are fighting for the limited pedalboard real-estate, dedicating 1/4 of that space to a single pedal seems nuts.

When Anasounds were challenged with creating a pedal which sounded like a Fender Twin’s reverb they initially went towards the analog route but quickly realised the only way to truly recreate the tones was with a spring tank as found in the original amp.

The way to work around the size problem was genius, have the spring tank and the controls separate! On your board you simply have an MXR sized pedal with controls for the reverb but the sound comes from one of 3 possible spring tanks. The tanks can sit under the board or even on top of an amp.

Whats more the three tanks all do something different:
