Re: Holy hell, what an expensive impulse buy.
This thread has prompted me to think I may need to look into buying a Fender Tube Reverb unit. :?: :dunno:
Just wished they were Tweed covered.
You absolutely need one. They're so much better than any fender amp reverb I've played, for a few reasons:
You can put the reverb past 3 without being overwhelmed by a wash of springs.
Between the mix and dwell controls, you can dial in just the perfect amount of reverb, and you can control how it sits on (or overwhelms, if you want it) your tone.
A tone control. Extremely underrated feature for a reverb.
You can put it anywhere in your signal chain. I personally think it sounds better in front of a clean amp (after dirt pedals of course, but you can also do before if that's your thing) than wherever it is in a twin.
And maybe it's just my unit, but mine actually sounds less springy at low to medium dwell settings than any fender amp reverb I've tried - more like a plate than a spring. It's honestly the perfect reverb for me, and worth every bit of what I paid for it.
If I get around to making clips of the space echo, I'll be sure to do the reverb unit (with the Space Echo and on its own) as well.
