Nice coup there, Tom:

Sounds beautiful! (That dude talks to much though. I wanna hear more pedal.)

Up for pre-order: https://reverb.com/item/1835021-tomkat- ... cho-reverb

Sounds really good! Plus, the coolest finish/design I've seen in a long time. Very suiting to its sounds.

Wow you guys are faster than me. Was just about to post it here. Ha. Thanks for liking it. I have some more demos coming soon. Here's one from 60 Cycle Hum:

You know just nick is into a pedal when he starts singing.

I love the resonances this thing makes when riding the edge of self oscillation at like 6:00.

So if I happen to be in NYC on like the 8th of April is there anyway you might have one of these floating around that I can buy off you?

We can get coffee with DRodriguez and work out the details!

Sounds beautiful, would make a really sweet pre-dirt shoegaze verb/delay. Would the internal trimpots allow for the freefall to ramp quickly, but quietly, so you could play over it?

I might! I'll know for sure closer to the 8th but that sounds like a good idea.

Pre dirt this thing sounds awesome. I'll have to make a video. The internal trim will allow you to make the osc ramp up quickly but the volume of it depends on where the other knobs are. If you had it internally set to come on immediately and had the regen knob at like 10:00 with the mix at like noon I think you could get that effect. I'll make a video showing the different trim settings.

Just preordered on reverb! It's a crazy deal right now with preorder price plus the reverb sale. Pumped for it.

[Tristan]

That's awesome, I think I'll jump on it too.
I want a Bender as well but it seems out of stock.

Probably my favorite "pedal" I own. Instant vibes when you have it in line.

So it that Tanker a controller/pre for any tank you have to connect?

Sort of, its built for one tank in specific, but it could be used with various. But different spring tanks need different things to work optimally.
It was built for the tank in this picture:


There are a couple quirks to the pedal.
It is always on. the bypass switch cuts signal going to the tank, this is nice because it lets you have the reverb tail when bypassed. However, you still hear any spring noise if the tank rumbles or is moved. If I was using it live, I would definitely throw it in a true bypass loop.

Always on also means that the dry signal knob is always on. This is great in my opinion. The pedal is wired cleanly, so there's no real tone drop, and it has a killer amount of gain on tap. About 9 o'clock on the knob is unity. so that leaves you like 3/4 of the knob to crank into your amp.

There is a bit of a high end whine if you crank the wet all the way up, this could also just be bad power on my end. And it's in the range that most amps cut those frequencies. Only really noticeable going direct.
