I received the Carlsbad Reverb kit for Christmas from the girlfriend and immediately dove in. Easy assembly and great directions, as well as quality parts. I had a question about troubleshooting and Isaac answered me the next day... on NYE. It sounds great! By no means does it have lengthy trails but it gets spacey enough and the controls allow me to get a good sound easily. Has a great blend knob as well as volume and level. The blend allows you to go from extremely wet (not sure if 100%) to almost fully dry. Sounds great with pre and post the algal bloom and mastotron.
