Vote for your favorite "spring" reverb pedal

[NYM osnaps music]

Alright everyone I'm in the market for a new reverb pedal I'm looking for the classic spring sound (without the huge tank) unfortunately my local shops only have Verbzilla, Holy Grail, and Hall of Fame in stock and I'm not really interested in those.

Wampler Faux Spring (is at the top of my list)
Subdecay Spring Theory
Boss Fender FRV1
etc.

So what gets your vote? I'm really leaning toward the Wampler as the PGS demo nails the tone I'm after and I love my Ego Compressor. I really wish there was a way I could demo everything I could want to in person. I'm hoping some of you guys might have some experiences with one or all these (and other) spring reverb pedals and can shed some helpful advice.

I'm quickly becoming a Subdecay whore, and the ST looks awesome. can do the subtle as well as the super lush very well.

I've been looking around too. I had the subdecay reverb and didn't like it all that much. It sounded fine at low settings, although, I didn't care much for the room side at all but it did sound roomy. But at higher settings, it was so overly muddy for me. And it killed any dirt pedals I had before it at any knob positions. It wasn't for me. If I weren't concerned with stereo, I would get either Malekko's new spring or the EQD Ghost echo. I had the GE before. It was wonderful. Not super springy but it sounded great and the attack knob was really handy, I thought.

well I found out the Wampler Faux Spring Reverb is now green and not brown so I think I may have to order it lol

It seems to capture the tones that I'm after that the other pedals I've tried and listened to fall short on.

BTW I think the EQD Ghost Reverb looks sweet just not the right vein of reverb for me (but I think I could find it a place in my rig in the future)

not spring, but as mentioned, the ghost echo kills!

and now it's in a smaller enclosure!

From the demos I've heard the 60's spring setting on the Strymon Flint sounds pretty nice... plus you get some other verbs and trems.

There are of course also real spring reverb pedals like the Van Amps Reverb-o-mate and Sole-mate.. No experience with them though..

the vanamps look sweet and the price isn't too bad I'm gonna have to youtube about those, of course it'll eat up some pedalboard real estate but I needed a bigger/second pedaltrain anyway right?

lol now that I have a volume pedal, expression pedal, wah, ego comp, superfuzz, dmb dual od, ravish sitar, nova mod, nova delay, rainbow machine, jamman solo, sonic research strobe tuner pedal, and soon some type of reverb (sadly I've been eyeing the voodoo lab giggity and eqd organizer too)
