@@AnasoundsPedals Silly question alert... can the tanks be used as "normal" tanks? For example could I send a line level signal to them and get a useable return to put back to tape/a DAW?
@@AnasoundsPedals Cheers. It was 29c last night and I was on youtube from 330am as I couldn't sleep. Looking into this more now...Best value seems to be the 3 tank bundle. 505aud delivered is pretty good actually.

Personally Anasound & Rattler was a huge sound, it was epic. And the small tank was another N°1....( Q ) Also for the first time i listened through earphones and i think ive found the holy grail to listen to tps ..... on Monday's VCQ can you please explain why it sounds phenomenal through earphones . Thanks Dan & Mick . Your tone / tangents & explaining grey areas is above the rest & love it.🤘🎸🤘
Sometime it's just easier and better to come back to basics. Don't you think? :) We engineered for a year a digital reverb. And Alex in team was used to do these algorithm, he had work for NXP in audio codecs for smartphone (Huawei, Samsung...). When we plugged the prototype and compared it to the analogue one. No way ! Just go back to analog when you get the chance !
The spring on my Ventris is my almost always on, so thank you also :) That before we go crazy with it too. Although the ventris has made my nemesis become a little lonely of late..
Yours is by far the best, and the only one I'd consider buying. I already have the Gemini, Nemesis, and Vertigo hooked up to the Neuro Hub, MIDI control from my Disaster Area DMC-3XL gen3, just amazing. Maybe make it a quartet of SA pedals...maybe....
"Not actually a..." True Spring you mean? Marketing sucks...huh? "Modern Digital Copy of a Spring" taken? DOH! PS: It sounds really, really good, I just think this generation is way off the track...as far as it's command of language and it's manipulation there of... but my generation actually read 1984 from a thing called a book...
Oh, really? I admit to being more than a bit pissed at many things as they have become. However, when was the last time anyone here was arrested and done away with by the Thought Police for having heretical political thoughts? If you don't believe me, just ask the Ministry of Truth.
60 Cycle Hum Pretty sure John Mayer has used a standalone fender reverb tank before. I'm personally bummed that they didn't get an oceans 11 for this video because it's super malleable with it's secondary settings. instead you get to hear the supernatural which sounds good but imo the oceans sounds better. would've liked to have heard it against the source audio as well as the Wampler and CBA.
@@60CycleHumcast You're right about the drip, Ryan. Even though he (almost) played Misirlou, I wouldn't be surprised if he played it with a plate. Once they added gain, they got more into the gain than the reverb.. These guys should listen to your "drippy" series. I found this vid very disappointing. In fact, I wanted to bail before the 10 minute mark but I soldiered on, sad to say.
I’m looking at the Source Audio True Spring. Damnit, wife going to have my set of berries soon. I’ve fallen into that rabbit 🐰 hole and that sucker is deep. Great show
God I love you guys! I've been pondering this question as I have recently purchased a Vox AC15 HW. Here we are with a 1 hour show exploring the very question I've been asking. Brilliant!
I was waiting for you to put all the pedals together from the very start. When you finally did, I was so relieved I had to stand up and salute you through my screen! Many thanks for that, it sounded amazing!
Thanks Dan and Mick. Yet another absolute winner of a presentation. Getting a bit reflective in my old age, so sorry in advance!! The last couple of years has been a real awakening in terms of my guitar playing, due in no small part to you guys. I now play with a gigging band, I’ve made significant, joyous and inspirational equipment choices (68 Deluxe, Cali 76, Tumnus, Belle epoch...) and have discovered a love for the incredible sounds of the likes of Joey Landreth, Matt Schofield and Chris Buck via your channel. I just absolutely love the guitar and everything about it. Keep it up, I look forward to your show every week. Matt
49:05 imagine having enough strats to rest your arm on it headstock to the floor without fear of it breaking. This is one bold man. Great show mind you.
Always inspiring to improve. I have not jumped on any new gear in a while.... but right after watching this episode I put in my order for the Anasounds Element Spring Reverb. Amaaaaaziiiiinngggggg! ing ing ing ing............
Anasounds Element Analog Spring Reverb with Le Bon, La Brute and Le Truand tanks has me sold and I normally would sat as I am a cheap on purchases. Hope you feature it more often. Awesome playing, you inspire me to want to practice.
Guys, that was way cooler than I thought it was going to be. Great combination of pedals, covering a lot of ground. Really impressed with the True Spring.
I dunno, I’m getting the impression that they wouldn’t know what to do with it. The guys are awesome players but I’m not hearing them play for the drip with any of these pedals. It takes a certain kind of playing to show off what that kind of reverb does.
@@60CycleHumcast I live for drip but refrained from noting its absence here as it's not something everyone cares about. To imply that unless they explore and appreciate drip, they aren't applying spring reverb properly is selling short the great variety of players and styles that make great use of spring reverb without getting drippy. Your channel has that covered. When do we get to see your comparison of the True Spring with the Oceans 11? I've been waiting for that one!
Another fantastic and informative show....I actually watched it at work (medical trasport) on my phone While awaiting the next lift... I WILL BE WATCHING THIS ONE AGAIN ONCE I GET HOME thanks guys...
another fellow reverb stacker. I’ve been stacking my Headroom with the Keeley Abbey chamber verb, with the short keeley as the base for overdrive tones, and add in the headroom for big cleans. Keeley into the headroom. Give it a go
Whenever Dan really likes a sound he puts both hands atop his head. Funny the idiosyncratic things you notice when you’ve been watching for years. Sincerely I always look forward to Tuesday n Friday. We’re all lucky to have TPS in our lives www.leadfoot.rocks
I would love to see plate reverb pedals compared to an actual plate reverb. Most of the recorded reverb sounds that I love seem to be plate. Great work guys!
What a difference the big tank makes! Now I know why I hate the reverb in my narrow chassis Mesa. It has a short tank, and I'm all about big reverb sounds. The Element with the big tank during the intro is the kind of reverb sound I live for. Dan's intro made me feel like I was 19 again, listening to This Mortal Coil's "Filigree and Shadow" for the first time, way back in 1988, as a sophomore at uni. Very 4AD stuff, there, makes me swoon and go all twee.
Great show, reverb has recently become my favorite effect, other than Fuzz. I spent forever messing with Choruses, Univibes, Phasers and Delays looking for something that would give me a fuller sound, once I got a good reverb (Keeley Caverns) I was amazed at how versatile it could be. I'd love to see a show on different types of reverbs, maybe a Fender standalone along with some of the great offerings out now, like the Walrus Fathoms, the aforementioned Caverns and the like.We also need a Reverb specific T-Shirt, something that incorporates a Yoga Mat would be wonderful.
Hi there, completely off topic but I bought a t shirt from the store and it arrived in a fitted box with orange tissue paper. Very classy but got me a telling off from the love of my life for buying a designer shirt, which makes a change from the usual telling off for buying another pedal. Great show as usual lads.
And in the spirit of, "Ya shoulda had the...." T-Rex room-mate. Freakin' spectacular, especially using the LFO setting through 2 amps. Must dig out my old 1980s Eurotec spring reverb. Proper yard-long springs in a box big enough to live in. Like playing in a cavern. Looking forward to the Rat episode. Cheers guys.
That's true about Digitech/DOD. But, Tom Cram has started Spiral Electric FX so keep an eye on them. The Black Spiral fuzz is KILLER, and he has a Yellow Spiral overdrive coming out soon
I overheard two 15 year olds talking about pedals and amps, one of them talked of his dads old amp that he is "re building" he didn't say any specific brand name, but he said he built a whole new combo cabinet with the original electronics and had a pedalboard "kinda built in" for pedals that his dad always uses and are pretty much set the same at all times. The cabinet was built using laminated spruce boards and it was deeper, wider and taller than the original. He was building it for his fathers 50th birthday as a surprise. The thing I was thinking the whole time while they were talking was TPS! Dan and Mick need to design and build something like that.
Another serendipedous edition of my favourite pedal show: I'm sitting at home waiting on the delivery of a Hall of Fame 2. Did I choose wisely? Well there isn't one on the board but this show will be informative at least
So a quick mention... Kemper just came out with a reverb update and it is AMAZING. There are multiple reverb choices, one being a spring reverb. You can control spring length, dwell, dripstone, decay time, mix, low decay, high decay, high cut, spectral balance, stereo wideness, and ducking. The quality beats out just about anything I've heard, and I'm thinking I might sell my Big Sky.
Love good reverb videos. Been waiting for you guys to do Dark World for months. Please put it in another video soon. Does lots of stuff, is pretty amazing. Each side can be blended into each other, mixes different delays, and has a degrading tape setting. Love everything you guys do. My favorite channel. Keep it up!
Fantastic video guys. The Digitech Polara is the updated version of the Supernatural with updated reverbs all from Lexicon. Worth checking out and under £100
FINALLY! Another "give it a bit of beans" reference!! It's probably been a year since the "yaaa!!!, you know, giving it the beans.." reference in a video I can't remember lol. too good. beans, of all things.
I love the ground this show covers from guitar sounds all the way to balanced opinions on life on such topics as beer, wine, satanists, yoga, Bunnings (bummings), Brazilian jujitsu, and having kids. The best part is I can safely watch this show while doing my ironing and my kids can sit there without fear of the show turning to profanity (I very much like how you keep the show pretty much g-rated) while I learn all the amazing things you know and discover every week and I can teach my daughters what can make their Daddy’s guitar sound spikey, or wobbly, or echo-like or even sometimes squeaky or wibbly (4 year old and 6 year old daughters make up their own descriptions). As to this show, not a bad sound on this board. I don’t know how you would choose. The Dark World was a surprise. What a great sounding spring emulation. I could barely tell the difference between it and the real deal. I myself have a replica hand wired tube driven 63 reverb tank outboard Head with tube driven tremolo. Love it. Do I spy ribbon mics on the cabs today?
Hi Tim, yeah we try to avoid too much potty mouth. The odd one slips out now and again. Ha! Ribbons - we have one Sontronics Delta but the other is a Shure SM7B. Still looking for some more ribbons. ;0)
A show on reverb with lots of gain would be amaaaaaaaazing. Rabea does it, I don't get how, but it's so good. Coincidentally 1 of my 5 or so favorite guitar players right now, including you guys.
Happy Dark World owner here... That thing definitely needs a deeper dive. Some things i've found I like: -Stacking the Mod reverb in parallel, but with the mix very low and the tone very dark (and the mod amount also very low), gives some additional space to "lush up" the spring side (or the plate, which sounds amazing!). -(You can have one reverb going into another, but that's a different vibe...) -When you change the predelay time it modulates the signal, like changing the delay speed on an analog delay pedal. So if you use the ramping/bouncing dipswitches, you can set it to automatically tweak the predelay knob just a tiiiiny bit, creating a modulated reverb sound. (Sounds ace on the plate and hall, but works well on the spring too.) Takes a second to figure out which dipswitches to set, but when you find it you can save it as a preset. -The Dark side also has a shimmer that doesn't suck (and the "shimmer down" sound is kinda cool), but the "black" mode is the real gem. It's kinda like a Freeze pedal... Crazy ambient stuff, and you can control the level of playback with expression (like fading a Freeze in and out...). Took me a week to figure out how to use this, but it's really good. Hope that helps!
Excellent work as always, but a glaring omission in my opinion is the EHX Holy Grail, an old standby in the reverb pedal world that just does what it does so well (except for that flerb setting?!?). I know - so many pedals, so little time, we can't squeeze them all in.
This episode is the reason I keep watching the show every week. I didn’t even know half of these things existed. Thank you, keep them coming. P.S. I’d love to see a RAT episode as you guys have mentioned before. That’s the one that guitarists often have some kind of discouraging opinion about, whether it has to be vintage or some boutique copy, etc. A while back I asked to try one at a guitar store and the guy just walked off saying “Nah, you don’t want a RAT”. However, JHS just tossed a standard RAT on a board in their last video and played pretty close to the sound in my head on a great track. I’d love to see some comparisons and your thoughts on what is out there.
Using the unused channel for driving/dialing in the reverb is such an incredible idea. I love knowing the guy who designed the amp is a guy just like us who has crazy ideas from time to time and just says "fuck it lets do it!". Then we all reap the rewards of one guy following a crazy idea.
I have always found that reverb in a mix of instruments is the most fragile effect. Often, when what, when heard solo, sounds like sufficient reverb has been put onto a track, the reverb tends to disappear when that track is mixed into the whole recording. Accordingly, the level of the reverb gets raised until it sounds the way we want it. When all sounds good and the track is reverberating nicely in the mix, if you should then solo that track - whoa - it’s actually now quite massively awash in reverb. Accordingly, auditioning various reverbs, as you did so well this week, and finding one that satisfies when heard alone is not necessarily going to mean that when it is used at a rehearsal or a gig that it’s going to sound anything like it did when heard on TPS or when played solo at home. This is not only true regarding reverb, but also is true regarding many of the effects that we add to our basic guitar sound. There is a strong symbiosis between and amongst all effects used simultaneously which requires a deft and subtle touch as well as very good ears to create what best pleases. I think that the reason why reverb is so particularly fragile and elusive in a mix is that reverb, by its very nature, is a distinct flavour of the acoustic reflective phenomenon, having a specific kind of decay that reflects the original sound many times and very quickly. What we hear as “reverb” which, of course is short for “reverberation”, Is primarily the decay. When another sound is heard at the same time as the reverbed sound that decay gets drowned out very quickly and easily until it’s almost or actually not heard at all. That’s why those tracks require so much reverb to be added so that it will be heard in the mix. Anyroad, you guys still always make me want to purchase more gear against my better judgment. This time it’s the Jam Rattler. Thanks a lot. (LOL) Cheers.
The Element is really really cool. That being said the Chase Bliss sounds exceptional, and as always you can do so much with it. Source Audio gets the spring thing very good as well.
“I’m going for a Valium & lie down”...Mick, it sounds brilliant man, relax and lose yourself in your & Dan’s genius. LOVE it!!! Also that Kitchen is an epic amp. -Aaron
After just buying a Supro trem pedal, now I'm lusting about the True Spring for having both reverb and harmonic trem. Which will actually fit on my Pedaltrain Nano. Arrrggghh, you're killing me smalls.
Apologies if someone has mentioned this elsewhere but for reverb tank noise check out the tune Magneto by Russian band Messer Chups . Lots of spring reverb and he gives the tank a kick from time to time to add percussion.
The world is a better place with reverb...and both of those amps sound PERFECT for both of you! It's so refreshing to hear YOUR tone as it simply works so much better for each of you than all the other very nice amps you've been using as backline for TPS, imho. UPDATE That Rattler + reverb with the Strat was mind-blowing!!! EVH only classier!!! OMG!!!
I am convert to the md-500. It replaced 5 pedals off my board , my wah pedal(which i used once a year for Jimi covers), and It has given me more stuff then those pedals did along with more flexibility. It may not be the best sounding of any of those effects but it is 90% as good as most of my favorites and at the end of the day it was a tradeoff i feel is 100% worth it. All that being said in the US the tonal recall is $350 new I see them used over $300, the True springer starts at $229, the wampler is $200. You can find an rv-500 for $270 used takes up not to much room and is packed with functionality. If it is as good as the md-500 I can see that taking over all my reverb duties in the future.
On a spring reverb note....was watching a early Santana video from Tanglewood and now realize how important that spring reverb was to his early sounds.Killer.
Back in day when I lived in 'ole in't ground we had to use Marshalls with no reverb, and I did not miss it 'cause I didn't have it. I can still play through a dry amp, the best way to test your technique. That said I love reverb and echo and have both the headroom and white whale.
Great topic! I LOVE the reverb in my 69 Twin Reverb, naturally, so I'm always after that kind of sound. I tried the Headroom, but the dampening system quickly failed. Carl Martin was great about taking it back, but I was hesitant to try again. I had the Van Amps Sole Mate, which also sounded great, but with delicate jacks on all four sides it seemed impractical. I rolled the dice on a Mad Professor Silver Spring digital pedal and it is astonishingly good. Everyone who hears it comments on how natural it sounds. Ah, the experiments never end!
Yes, the Mad Professor is always on my board doing its thing. I also use their delay pedal. Both sound so natural while not making a point of themselves.
@@tombowman9463 just got a deal on a silver spring. I look forward to trying it out with my twin as well! Might have to pick up a deep blue delay too then lol.
@@JaredSchumaier you’re in for good times. I tend to use the amp reverb with the Twin, but I have a lower power amp that has no reverb, and the silver spring takes the no-verb pain away for me. I love the subtlety of the delay. The repeats don’t have to be obvious!
Hey guys!! I love the show and I have been following you all for years now. I have a question though, would y’all be interested in doing an episode on different EQ pedals, like 5 band, 10 band, etc... I’ve been curious to see how you all would use them! Thanks so much and much love from the USA!
Not being a gigging musician has one advantage, I never move my gear. My ultimate plan includes a sound-proof shed for my reverb plates, I think I can spare some wall space for a couple of Anasounds Elements tanks. (Right next to the Heil vox boxes of my hose echo, actually.)
Just watching this and Dan's watch goes off. I then look at Mick's wrist and noticed his watch, which is more old fashioned. Gets me to thinking their watch choice gives insight into how they pick gear. Dan-modern/ teckie, Mick- simple to use and does what it's meant to. I think I may have drank too much last night, if that's the state of my brain this morning!
Ha! There's some truth in that. Dan embraces tech when it comes to connectivity because 85 per cent of his life and business is spent looking at a screen. I've always hated mobile phones and everything that goes with them, so I made a conscious decision a while back to disengage a little bit, even though it's important to our business. As for watches, if it winds itself and is made in Switzerland it's okay by me. I'll get there one day.
My watch is analogue, which says a lot about me. I bought a line 6 m13 last year, for something to mess about with as my son had borrowed my pedal board with pedals (still not returned). I played with it for a week and then put it under the sofa, where it remains.
Love the show. I so want to hear the glorious mess of all three boxes for the Element chained together. Then how different orders affect the sound. Please please please.
Great selection of Reverbs for contrast and comparison . Sonically, still my favorite spring is the one provided on the Jeorge Tripps designed MXR300. Simple, and it works.
The Anasounds tanks look like they have holes for mounting, maybe on a rack? How/where would you mount that? Great video, as always. Love the comparison style. Thanks for all the education!!
Ducktailing on Micks VLOG about M/S I also want to note that I am really glad that the levels of guitar to the voices is very good. Not, as some channels, the guitars are blasting and the voice is too low compared. Which I feel is very annoying. Cheers from Germany!
54:56 My hybrid has that - and it 's from 1988. Kaman (KMD) catalog says: "Dual Centric Tone / Reverb" ( = 3 x Tone + 1 x Reverb dual pots) & "Accutronics Reverb". Also the steel mesh speaker grills on my (4x12) cab, might be a little dented - but at least my (Celestion GL12L35) speakers aren't...
This show is timely. I recently acquired a vintage Princeton (not a Princeton Reverb). It sounds great, but like Dan and Mick I really struggle to play without reverb. Something about the feel seems flat, unless I'm in a really live room. I use a Catalinbread Talisman plate emulator that is amazing, but I'm thinking somewhere down the line some kind of real spring to run into the Princeton might be right nice. The Anasounds unit is very cool. But as commenters below mention, the Surfy Bear products are really intriguing too. Thanks as always, TPS!
31:00 Respects to Jim Dunlop and praise of Primetone picks. Please add this to the “interesting bits” index in the description. Thank you and RIP Jim Dunlop.
Congrats on not talking over the reverb trails too much guys! Where does the TC hall of fame 2 rank with you gents? I love the tone print you did for it. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for this show. I have been struggling to get the right reverb. I love the spring reverb on my Blues Junior. I also have Blackstar Artist 15 that I love, except for the reverb. I have a TC Electronics reverb pedal but I can't seem to find a toneprint that inspires me. I may have to buy something new...
the reverb on reverb sounds... awesome... you just needed some chorus/modulation and disappear into Ryan Adams tones! The base level thing that you talked about Dan is how I set my Lonestar and usually hit it with a pedal also!
Glad I got my preorder in for the Element. Mine arrived the day before this came out! Phew! It’s obviously brilliant, but the one thing that really surprised me was the baby tank. I never expected it to sound that, well, big. I expected something a lot thinner and splishyer sounding, but it’s not that at all. Anasounds are a great company and all of there pedals are mega so it shouldn’t surprise me that they’ve put a lot of thought into this.
I remember bring home my first real guitar amp, an orange Roland Cube 40. I plugged it in, cranked it up....then decided I should move it. When I set it down the reverb went CLANG! I nearly @#$* a brick.
Thanks for the video. There's something great about a well-designed real spring reverb. I think my favourite is still the Accutronics type used in '60s Fender amps, but some of these short springs, including pedals, have such a great character to them. Also, the emulating of spring just keeps getting better. I especially like the trem/verb combo pedals because they can make a '50s Fender sound much more like a '60s Fender :-)
I had to sheepishly ask a buddy for one of my Dunlop primetone picks back after I lent it to him during a jam. I had to laugh when Mick told Dan to give his back. Expensive but worth it!

49:05 imagine having enough strats to rest your arm on it headstock to the floor without fear of it breaking. This is one bold man. Great show mind you.
Nathan wainman That would never break it! Maybe leave a little mark on the end it unlucky.
Robert Keeley did the reverb algorithm for the Dark World and the reverb in The Amp of Milkman
Dan & Mick! TPS is the first thing I watch when I wake up before doing anything else every Friday! Greetings from Anaheim, California.
It's on as soon as I get in my car for my Friday morning work commute!
pretty much the same. headphones on laying in bed.
I like that those anasound tanks fits underneath a pedaltrain
Always inspiring to improve. I have not jumped on any new gear in a while.... but right after watching this episode I put in my order for the Anasounds Element Spring Reverb. Amaaaaaziiiiinngggggg! ing ing ing ing............
Le Bon, la Brute & le Truand, the Good , the Bad & the Ugly, the french title of the Sergio Leone movie.
Anasounds Element Analog Spring Reverb with Le Bon, La Brute and Le Truand tanks has me sold and I normally would sat as I am a cheap on purchases. Hope you feature it more often. Awesome playing, you inspire me to want to practice.
Guys, that was way cooler than I thought it was going to be. Great combination of pedals, covering a lot of ground. Really impressed with the True Spring.
Just like the delay episode, every time you turn the reverb off I went awww. Then you turn it back on and I went yeah!!
Nevermind the reverb. That Rattler pedal is so Ace!!!
hearing both Dan and Mick's playing increasing STELLARLY...
very inspiring
I would love to see a Fender 6G15 reverb unit on TPS! That said, great video, guys!
YES PLEASE!!!
Yes..!
I dunno, I’m getting the impression that they wouldn’t know what to do with it. The guys are awesome players but I’m not hearing them play for the drip with any of these pedals. It takes a certain kind of playing to show off what that kind of reverb does.
@@60CycleHumcast I live for drip but refrained from noting its absence here as it's not something everyone cares about. To imply that unless they explore and appreciate drip, they aren't applying spring reverb properly is selling short the great variety of players and styles that make great use of spring reverb without getting drippy. Your channel has that covered. When do we get to see your comparison of the True Spring with the Oceans 11? I've been waiting for that one!
ebeep I thought I did that one already, maybe I didn’t? It’s all a blur.
Another fantastic and informative show....I actually watched it at work (medical trasport) on my phone
While awaiting the next lift...
I WILL BE WATCHING THIS ONE AGAIN ONCE I GET HOME thanks guys...
another fellow reverb stacker. I’ve been stacking my Headroom with the Keeley Abbey chamber verb, with the short keeley as the base for overdrive tones, and add in the headroom for big cleans. Keeley into the headroom. Give it a go
Whenever Dan really likes a sound he puts both hands atop his head. Funny the idiosyncratic things you notice when you’ve been watching for years. Sincerely I always look forward to Tuesday n Friday. We’re all lucky to have TPS in our lives

I would love to see plate reverb pedals compared to an actual plate reverb. Most of the recorded reverb sounds that I love seem to be plate. Great work guys!
A thought - the Anasprings could also put together a plate reverb unit that they can sell alongside the 3 Spring Tanks. Even more amazingQ
@@stevendobias2960 Would be a fuckin time and a half to cart around a reverb plate to a gig mate haha
You do realize plate reverbs take up half a room?
Was really hoping for an "all the reverbs" jam at the end and you delivered. Thanks guys!
This Audio Kitchen amp is amazing !
Your stuff is amazing! Looking forward to getting an Element+La Brute in the future!
@@paulcamus8944 Thank you so much !!!
Anasounds Yeah. Just commented on that myself. It sounds fantastic.
@@ryanstark2350 merci! :D
@@AnasoundsPedals Where would you recommend picking up one in Paris?
What a difference the big tank makes! Now I know why I hate the reverb in my narrow chassis Mesa. It has a short tank, and I'm all about big reverb sounds. The Element with the big tank during the intro is the kind of reverb sound I live for. Dan's intro made me feel like I was 19 again, listening to This Mortal Coil's "Filigree and Shadow" for the first time, way back in 1988, as a sophomore at uni. Very 4AD stuff, there, makes me swoon and go all twee.
Bloody hell, finally a new Reverb episode. Thanks guys!!
I really wish you would've had the Fender stand alone reverb tank box in this episode
Great show, reverb has recently become my favorite effect, other than Fuzz. I spent forever messing with Choruses, Univibes, Phasers and Delays looking for something that would give me a fuller sound, once I got a good reverb (Keeley Caverns) I was amazed at how versatile it could be. I'd love to see a show on different types of reverbs, maybe a Fender standalone along with some of the great offerings out now, like the Walrus Fathoms, the aforementioned Caverns and the like.We also need a Reverb specific T-Shirt, something that incorporates a Yoga Mat would be wonderful.
RAT video!? super hype. I've been using the rattler+ for a couple of years now, the 'extra' mode on it is killer!
Hi there, completely off topic but I bought a t shirt from the store and it arrived in a fitted box with orange tissue paper. Very classy but got me a telling off from the love of my life for buying a designer shirt, which makes a change from the usual telling off for buying another pedal.
Great show as usual lads.
Haha!! That's definitely Katherine's packing. Mine is a bit more rudimentary. Mick here. Hahahaha!
And in the spirit of, "Ya shoulda had the...." T-Rex room-mate. Freakin' spectacular, especially using the LFO setting through 2 amps. Must dig out my old 1980s Eurotec spring reverb. Proper yard-long springs in a box big enough to live in. Like playing in a cavern. Looking forward to the Rat episode. Cheers guys.
When Big and Beautiful are truly at one!!!
Loved it!!
That's true about Digitech/DOD. But, Tom Cram has started Spiral Electric FX so keep an eye on them. The Black Spiral fuzz is KILLER, and he has a Yellow Spiral overdrive coming out soon
I overheard two 15 year olds talking about pedals and amps, one of them talked of his dads old amp that he is "re building" he didn't say any specific brand name, but he said he built a whole new combo cabinet with the original electronics and had a pedalboard "kinda built in" for pedals that his dad always uses and are pretty much set the same at all times. The cabinet was built using laminated spruce boards and it was deeper, wider and taller than the original. He was building it for his fathers 50th birthday as a surprise. The thing I was thinking the whole time while they were talking was TPS! Dan and Mick need to design and build something like that.
Audio Kitchen. Wow , I have never heard such an ambiant reverb in a spring tank. It's not boingy ,if that's a word. Great job gentleman.
Another serendipedous edition of my favourite pedal show: I'm sitting at home waiting on the delivery of a Hall of Fame 2. Did I choose wisely? Well there isn't one on the board but this show will be informative at least
So a quick mention... Kemper just came out with a reverb update and it is AMAZING. There are multiple reverb choices, one being a spring reverb. You can control spring length, dwell, dripstone, decay time, mix, low decay, high decay, high cut, spectral balance, stereo wideness, and ducking. The quality beats out just about anything I've heard, and I'm thinking I might sell my Big Sky.
Hope you guys get to give the new milkman reverb and harmonic tremolo tank a good going over!!! Love the show guys!
I went to my local guitar store a few weeks back and saw those Jim Dunlop Primetone picks and grabbed some. Man, they are great!!
The Big Chopper sounds ridiculously good every time
Love good reverb videos. Been waiting for you guys to do Dark World for months. Please put it in another video soon. Does lots of stuff, is pretty amazing. Each side can be blended into each other, mixes different delays, and has a degrading tape setting. Love everything you guys do. My favorite channel. Keep it up!
Fantastic video guys. The Digitech Polara is the updated version of the Supernatural with updated reverbs all from Lexicon. Worth checking out and under £100
FINALLY! Another "give it a bit of beans" reference!! It's probably been a year since the "yaaa!!!, you know, giving it the beans.." reference in a video I can't remember lol. too good. beans, of all things.
im watching this on my brand new home theater!! 120in screen full of dan and mick!!!!
I love the ground this show covers from guitar sounds all the way to balanced opinions on life on such topics as beer, wine, satanists, yoga, Bunnings (bummings), Brazilian jujitsu, and having kids. The best part is I can safely watch this show while doing my ironing and my kids can sit there without fear of the show turning to profanity (I very much like how you keep the show pretty much g-rated) while I learn all the amazing things you know and discover every week and I can teach my daughters what can make their Daddy’s guitar sound spikey, or wobbly, or echo-like or even sometimes squeaky or wibbly (4 year old and 6 year old daughters make up their own descriptions).
As to this show, not a bad sound on this board. I don’t know how you would choose. The Dark World was a surprise. What a great sounding spring emulation. I could barely tell the difference between it and the real deal. I myself have a replica hand wired tube driven 63 reverb tank outboard Head with tube driven tremolo. Love it.
Do I spy ribbon mics on the cabs today?
Hi Tim, yeah we try to avoid too much potty mouth. The odd one slips out now and again. Ha!
Ribbons - we have one Sontronics Delta but the other is a Shure SM7B. Still looking for some more ribbons. ;0)
A show on reverb with lots of gain would be amaaaaaaaazing. Rabea does it, I don't get how, but it's so good. Coincidentally 1 of my 5 or so favorite guitar players right now, including you guys.
Le Bon, la Brute et le Truand is a reference to one of the classic westerns of the sixties : “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” ;)
Happy Dark World owner here... That thing definitely needs a deeper dive. Some things i've found I like:
-Stacking the Mod reverb in parallel, but with the mix very low and the tone very dark (and the mod amount also very low), gives some additional space to "lush up" the spring side (or the plate, which sounds amazing!).
-(You can have one reverb going into another, but that's a different vibe...)
-When you change the predelay time it modulates the signal, like changing the delay speed on an analog delay pedal. So if you use the ramping/bouncing dipswitches, you can set it to automatically tweak the predelay knob just a tiiiiny bit, creating a modulated reverb sound. (Sounds ace on the plate and hall, but works well on the spring too.) Takes a second to figure out which dipswitches to set, but when you find it you can save it as a preset.
-The Dark side also has a shimmer that doesn't suck (and the "shimmer down" sound is kinda cool), but the "black" mode is the real gem. It's kinda like a Freeze pedal... Crazy ambient stuff, and you can control the level of playback with expression (like fading a Freeze in and out...). Took me a week to figure out how to use this, but it's really good.
Hope that helps!
Excellent work as always, but a glaring omission in my opinion is the EHX Holy Grail, an old standby in the reverb pedal world that just does what it does so well (except for that flerb setting?!?). I know - so many pedals, so little time, we can't squeeze them all in.
This episode is the reason I keep watching the show every week. I didn’t even know half of these things existed. Thank you, keep them coming.
P.S. I’d love to see a RAT episode as you guys have mentioned before. That’s the one that guitarists often have some kind of discouraging opinion about, whether it has to be vintage or some boutique copy, etc. A while back I asked to try one at a guitar store and the guy just walked off saying “Nah, you don’t want a RAT”. However, JHS just tossed a standard RAT on a board in their last video and played pretty close to the sound in my head on a great track. I’d love to see some comparisons and your thoughts on what is out there.
Using the unused channel for driving/dialing in the reverb is such an incredible idea. I love knowing the guy who designed the amp is a guy just like us who has crazy ideas from time to time and just says "fuck it lets do it!". Then we all reap the rewards of one guy following a crazy idea.
I have always found that reverb in a mix of instruments is the most fragile effect. Often, when what, when heard solo, sounds like sufficient reverb has been put onto a track, the reverb tends to disappear when that track is mixed into the whole recording. Accordingly, the level of the reverb gets raised until it sounds the way we want it. When all sounds good and the track is reverberating nicely in the mix, if you should then solo that track - whoa - it’s actually now quite massively awash in reverb.
Accordingly, auditioning various reverbs, as you did so well this week, and finding one that satisfies when heard alone is not necessarily going to mean that when it is used at a rehearsal or a gig that it’s going to sound anything like it did when heard on TPS or when played solo at home. This is not only true regarding reverb, but also is true regarding many of the effects that we add to our basic guitar sound. There is a strong symbiosis between and amongst all effects used simultaneously which requires a deft and subtle touch as well as very good ears to create what best pleases.
I think that the reason why reverb is so particularly fragile and elusive in a mix is that reverb, by its very nature, is a distinct flavour of the acoustic reflective phenomenon, having a specific kind of decay that reflects the original sound many times and very quickly. What we hear as “reverb” which, of course is short for “reverberation”, Is primarily the decay. When another sound is heard at the same time as the reverbed sound that decay gets drowned out very quickly and easily until it’s almost or actually not heard at all. That’s why those tracks require so much reverb to be added so that it will be heard in the mix.
Anyroad, you guys still always make me want to purchase more gear against my better judgment. This time it’s the Jam Rattler. Thanks a lot. (LOL) Cheers.
yep the first true spring reverb pedal ever I predict they will be worth money someday
The Element is really really cool. That being said the Chase Bliss sounds exceptional, and as always you can do so much with it. Source Audio gets the spring thing very good as well.
“I’m going for a Valium & lie down”...Mick, it sounds brilliant man, relax and lose yourself in your & Dan’s genius. LOVE it!!! Also that Kitchen is an epic amp.
-Aaron
Ha! If only. If I get lost, the shows don't go out and we turn off the lights for good. Hmmmm
That Pedal Show ok, someone let Mick live vicariously already, lol.
After just buying a Supro trem pedal, now I'm lusting about the True Spring for having both reverb and harmonic trem. Which will actually fit on my Pedaltrain Nano. Arrrggghh, you're killing me smalls.
Apologies if someone has mentioned this elsewhere but for reverb tank noise check out the tune Magneto by Russian band Messer Chups . Lots of spring reverb and he gives the tank a kick from time to time to add percussion.
philip Ellis Messer Chups are pretty awesome!
Awesome Video Mates!!! Diggin' on the Jam and the Source Audio!!! Thank you.... keep the hits coming!!
Congrats to Anasounds, it´s a clever idea to have a sperate tank reverb....
All this reverb is great, but that Rattler steals this show! Holy cow that sounds awesome!!!!!
I love stacking reverbs, the Caroline Météore into the plate or mod reverb on my Hall of Fame, then into my Laney’s amp reverb, glorious
The world is a better place with reverb...and both of those amps sound PERFECT for both of you!
It's so refreshing to hear YOUR tone as it simply works so much better for each of you than all the other very nice amps you've been using as backline for TPS, imho.
UPDATE
That Rattler + reverb with the Strat was mind-blowing!!! EVH only classier!!!
OMG!!!
I am convert to the md-500. It replaced 5 pedals off my board , my wah pedal(which i used once a year for Jimi covers), and It has given me more stuff then those pedals did along with more flexibility. It may not be the best sounding of any of those effects but it is 90% as good as most of my favorites and at the end of the day it was a tradeoff i feel is 100% worth it. All that being said in the US the tonal recall is $350 new I see them used over $300, the True springer starts at $229, the wampler is $200. You can find an rv-500 for $270 used takes up not to much room and is packed with functionality. If it is as good as the md-500 I can see that taking over all my reverb duties in the future.
Or just use a Zoom MS-70CDR for all your modulation and reverb needs, for a third of the size and price. 😁
On a spring reverb note....was watching a early Santana video from Tanglewood and now realize how important that spring reverb was to his early sounds.Killer.
That Audio kitchen amp with the reverb and the Tele sounds amazing.
Back in day when I lived in 'ole in't ground we had to use Marshalls with no reverb, and I did not miss it 'cause I didn't have it. I can still play through a dry amp, the best way to test your technique. That said I love reverb and echo and have both the headroom and white whale.
Gobsmacked... that Audio Kitchen Big Chopper is well nice!
Great topic! I LOVE the reverb in my 69 Twin Reverb, naturally, so I'm always after that kind of sound. I tried the Headroom, but the dampening system quickly failed. Carl Martin was great about taking it back, but I was hesitant to try again. I had the Van Amps Sole Mate, which also sounded great, but with delicate jacks on all four sides it seemed impractical. I rolled the dice on a Mad Professor Silver Spring digital pedal and it is astonishingly good. Everyone who hears it comments on how natural it sounds. Ah, the experiments never end!
Still have the mad professor silver spring?
Yes, the Mad Professor is always on my board doing its thing. I also use their delay pedal. Both sound so natural while not making a point of themselves.
@@tombowman9463 just got a deal on a silver spring. I look forward to trying it out with my twin as well! Might have to pick up a deep blue delay too then lol.
@@JaredSchumaier you’re in for good times. I tend to use the amp reverb with the Twin, but I have a lower power amp that has no reverb, and the silver spring takes the no-verb pain away for me. I love the subtlety of the delay. The repeats don’t have to be obvious!
thank fuzz it's friday!
Hey guys!! I love the show and I have been following you all for years now. I have a question though, would y’all be interested in doing an episode on different EQ pedals, like 5 band, 10 band, etc... I’ve been curious to see how you all would use them! Thanks so much and much love from the USA!
Not being a gigging musician has one advantage, I never move my gear. My ultimate plan includes a sound-proof shed for my reverb plates, I think I can spare some wall space for a couple of Anasounds Elements tanks. (Right next to the Heil vox boxes of my hose echo, actually.)
Just watching this and Dan's watch goes off. I then look at Mick's wrist and noticed his watch, which is more old fashioned. Gets me to thinking their watch choice gives insight into how they pick gear. Dan-modern/ teckie, Mick- simple to use and does what it's meant to. I think I may have drank too much last night, if that's the state of my brain this morning!
Ha! There's some truth in that. Dan embraces tech when it comes to connectivity because 85 per cent of his life and business is spent looking at a screen. I've always hated mobile phones and everything that goes with them, so I made a conscious decision a while back to disengage a little bit, even though it's important to our business. As for watches, if it winds itself and is made in Switzerland it's okay by me. I'll get there one day.
My watch is analogue, which says a lot about me. I bought a line 6 m13 last year, for something to mess about with as my son had borrowed my pedal board with pedals (still not returned). I played with it for a week and then put it under the sofa, where it remains.
@SamuelTaliskerSmith And it won't work properly in 5 years. Probably not at all in 10 years.
spring reverb by far ... love to see you guys get the surfy bear reverb on there
Love the show. I so want to hear the glorious mess of all three boxes for the Element chained together. Then how different orders affect the sound. Please please please.
Great selection of Reverbs for contrast and comparison . Sonically, still my favorite spring is the one provided on the Jeorge Tripps designed MXR300. Simple, and it works.
Oooo a Jam Rattler ... Can't wait for the upcoming Rat show! 😍
I love JAM Pedals' products. I have the Retro Vibe, Delay Llama, Delay Llama Supreme, and Ripply Falls. Amazing and inspiring pedals.
The Anasounds tanks look like they have holes for mounting, maybe on a rack? How/where would you mount that? Great video, as always. Love the comparison style. Thanks for all the education!!
Or under your pedalboard....
Spring is coming soon :)
Ducktailing on Micks VLOG about M/S I also want to note that I am really glad that the levels of guitar to the voices is very good. Not, as some channels, the guitars are blasting and the voice is too low compared. Which I feel is very annoying. Cheers from Germany!
I would love to see a show on plate reverb. The catalinbread talisman is particularly nice sounding.
Missing the Hamstead! Loved the verb in that.
54:56 My hybrid has that - and it 's from 1988. Kaman (KMD) catalog says: "Dual Centric Tone / Reverb" ( = 3 x Tone + 1 x Reverb dual pots) & "Accutronics Reverb". Also the steel mesh speaker grills on my (4x12) cab, might be a little dented - but at least my (Celestion GL12L35) speakers aren't...
That AS La Brute made me sit up too.
The big one sounded just that little bit splashy and with a gritty high edge.
The smaller ones were great.
This show is timely. I recently acquired a vintage Princeton (not a Princeton Reverb). It sounds great, but like Dan and Mick I really struggle to play without reverb. Something about the feel seems flat, unless I'm in a really live room. I use a Catalinbread Talisman plate emulator that is amazing, but I'm thinking somewhere down the line some kind of real spring to run into the Princeton might be right nice. The Anasounds unit is very cool. But as commenters below mention, the Surfy Bear products are really intriguing too. Thanks as always, TPS!
31:00 Respects to Jim Dunlop and praise of Primetone picks. Please add this to the “interesting bits” index in the description. Thank you and RIP Jim Dunlop.
Congrats on not talking over the reverb trails too much guys! Where does the TC hall of fame 2 rank with you gents? I love the tone print you did for it. Keep up the great work!
Hi,I have it on my board and it is far away from the Source Audio True Spring and Dark World.
For my taste,the Source Audio will be on my board soon.
Thanks for this show. I have been struggling to get the right reverb. I love the spring reverb on my Blues Junior. I also have Blackstar Artist 15 that I love, except for the reverb. I have a TC Electronics reverb pedal but I can't seem to find a toneprint that inspires me. I may have to buy something new...
Quite like the dry distortion sound at 26:36. Ironic for a video about reverb.
the reverb on reverb sounds... awesome... you just needed some chorus/modulation and disappear into Ryan Adams tones! The base level thing that you talked about Dan is how I set my Lonestar and usually hit it with a pedal also!
Love a good 'verb sound. Always makes me think of Colin James "Why'd You Lie?" and Blue Rodeo "Try". :D
Colin James = true greatness! I still clearly remember the first time I heard "Why'd You Lie?" :)
I had no idea there were pedals with real springs inside. Thank you for sharing
Glad I got my preorder in for the Element. Mine arrived the day before this came out! Phew! It’s obviously brilliant, but the one thing that really surprised me was the baby tank. I never expected it to sound that, well, big. I expected something a lot thinner and splishyer sounding, but it’s not that at all. Anasounds are a great company and all of there pedals are mega so it shouldn’t surprise me that they’ve put a lot of thought into this.
I love anas mid sized tank so much before the amp or in the loop the springs add life, bounce and excitement like Pooh's friend Tigger :)
I remember bring home my first real guitar amp, an orange Roland Cube 40. I plugged it in, cranked it up....then decided I should move it. When I set it down the reverb went CLANG! I nearly @#$* a brick.
Thanks for the video. There's something great about a well-designed real spring reverb. I think my favourite is still the Accutronics type used in '60s Fender amps, but some of these short springs, including pedals, have such a great character to them. Also, the emulating of spring just keeps getting better. I especially like the trem/verb combo pedals because they can make a '50s Fender sound much more like a '60s Fender :-)
I had to sheepishly ask a buddy for one of my Dunlop primetone picks back after I lent it to him during a jam. I had to laugh when Mick told Dan to give his back. Expensive but worth it!
I love primetone’s as well, but I’ve recently switched to Chicken Picks. Check them out. They’re killer.
@@CryptoCPA I'll have to check them out. Thanks.
