Favorite/best spring reverb

[theecaptain]

I have a 1970 Twin Reverb, but I'm not quite satisfied.

I'm looking to get the type of reverb on this album: https://jefferydragrecords.bandcamp.com ... pertension

I think I'd describe it as a dark, spring reverb, but I'm not sure.

I'm looking for reverbs across all price ranges, and haven't decided if I wasn't to go with something simpler (like a Spacman Orion or Malekko Spring Chicken LTD) or something that will facilitate a variety of reverbs (like the Empress Reverb or the Strymon BigSky).

What would you/have you gone with?

Bonus points for other tips/gear to get other tones on the above album (vibrato or tremolo, etc.).

Sounds like traditional outboard tank or emulation.

Have you tried asking the band?

[theecaptain]

I'm more interested in reverb recommendations than just that. I figured it was probably amp reverb. Also, I know Seth from the band, but we've never talked gear.

[rfurtkamp]

Nah, that sounds like outboard tank/standard surf stuff.

Second preamp basically, slamming the front of another amp.

[JonnyAngle]

I would suggest the eventide space, digitech digiverb, catalinbread topange.

In that order.

The screaminfx uverbia should get close too

I love the Spring sounds on the Space—they're probably the best I've heard. Also was really impressed with the sound of the spring on the Empress verb, but I got a dud and ended up exchanging it with CME for the Space. Hopefully they'll get some of those kinks ironed out, because it's a cool ass pedal.

Adding a little tremolo on the spring is key on the space.

I'm a happy camper with either my spring chicken ltd or mr black deluxe plus. I prefer the deluxe plus bc adding a tiny bit of trem is fun most of the time. For only having one knob controlling the reverb it seems perfect for a spring to me. First half is all in the world of subtle/normal, next quarter is pretty drastic spring sounds that are metallic and pretty, last quarter is intense and oscillates easily and still pretty, but in a wild space way.

Can't rly go wrong w a Big Sky. It's full of options as fuck.

I went with a Supermoon and RM1N after I got ridda mine though.
