you're welcome. The Surfy Bear can do so much more than surf. Don't get me wrong, I love surf, but to only focus on that would be narrow compared to the flexibility of the pedal.
Oh yeah synths love the Surfy Bear! I either reach for the Surfy Bear Metal or the Chase bliss CXM-1978 often with synths. I honestly think the Surfy Bear is the best spring I’ve used.
I love them. I want to get one, digital emulating just can't nail down that tone. I am curious as to how it sounds running through an amp's return/send, that is through the back as opposed to the front. Like a tube saturated dirty amp it may be better to run it through the back, after the preamp section, which is what I'm aiming for...
That'd be great and much appreciated...I'm looking to run it through the back of a Marshall myself. Dirty amps kind of need that to be post preamp section if they're going to be dirty.I love the way these sound. I love analog.
I have it running through the back of a Marshall Plexi (has return/send on the reissures) and it sounds freaking amazing. It's the, hands-down, best reverb on the market. I absolutely love it.
I just bought one from Germany on ebay with the surfybear pan and I am ready to toss the thing i am so disappointed but i dont know if mine has a problem or if it is just the way the unit operates normally. Basically i play clean but when i am playing lead and hit the strings with force, i get this irritating sound while i am playing. i would call it 'spring hiss' because i dont know how else to describe it. Do you know what i am referring to? I get this even with all the knobs at 12 o'clock.
It's easy to forget , given the kind of gear that beginners generally start with now, versus back in the day.The original Fender, Vox , and Ampeg tube amps( including some of the early Solid State) had all the magic you'd ever need built in, whereas even the most tricked out hybrid beginners amp might give you little in the way of inspiration.Have no doubt, - it's the sheer volume , and what you need to do to MAKE it all work that is a part of it. Gear designed to " accomodate" creates a different mind set.
@@josephpickard3108 I always think it's important to show other sides to the sounds gear makes. Yes, the surfy bear is amazing at surf sounds, but it's soooo cool for so many other types of sounds, too.

Thanks for reviewing this unit and not playing just Surf music!

He's literally the only person on here that's not just done a surf demo, and I appreciate that a LOT
@@josephpickard3108 I decided to buy it after watching this video and I don't regret it. And I DON'T PLAY SURF! hhahahaha
The sounds you make with the guitar or the Mellotron talk to me :-) That's exactly the mood I like. I've just ordered the Surfybear.
Thank, really appreciate that! You’re gonna love the pedal.
I would never think to run keys through a spring verb! Running the Prophet through it was killer!

Also, it’s fun to run a digital synth like the hydrasynth into it as well.

That's a good question. I haven't tried that. I'm going to try that this week and report back. I'll use my Marshall.

@@bbbro34 I just tried it through the effects loop of my Marshall yesterday and I agree it sounds amazing! So it works great in effects loops as well.

I just want to hear a non-surf demo of this thing. Can't find one anywhere! I want to be lost in a mess of shoegaze reverb!
BUT THEN I FOUND THIS ONE
