I never thought I would replace my Strymon Flint as my spring reverb and tremolo of choice but the White Whale V2 from Crazy Tube circuits does everything i need and it has a real spring reverb inside. It can go from subtle and sweet to helicopter madness. Add a fuzz and there is chopping and slicing to be had too. Does Analog really mean anything?
Do NOT sleep on this Analog Tremolo and Reverb Pedal
Here is what Crazy Tube Circuits have to say about the White Whale V2
Inspired by the match-made-in-heaven of vintage effects found on 60s American amps, White Whale V2 sets out a new objective to pack bigger real spring reverb and tremolo sounds in the same pedalboard friendly enclosure (17 x 12,5 x 7,5 cm).
The 3-spring reverb tank assembly housed inside White Whale’s enclosure has remained the same, but we have upgraded the power amp driving the springs for increased headroom and wider frequency response. Following the signal topography of vintage units we have also upgraded the dwell control to allow you to dial the right amount of signal that goes into the springs for a mellower or splashier reverb sound. Real spring reverb found in 60s American tube amps and external reverb units featured a tube power amp driving the spring assembly via an output transformer, so we have delicately tuned an analog circuit to emulate the tube and output transformer saturation that was produced on higher dwell settings.
Each of these vintage units had its own reverb effect qualities so we tried to categorize them according to the most emblematic ones with a toggle switch selecting the size and decay. The user can select between the milder reverb qualities of a short to medium 2-spring reverb tank, the liveliness of a medium to long 2-spring reverb tank as found in most blackface amp designs and the dense reverb qualities of a long 3-spring reverb tank assembly. A reverb’s tone control comes after the recovery stage at the output of the reverb tank and affects only the wet sounds for lively and drippy or smooth and mild reverb tones. Use the mix control to blend your desired amount of wet signal on top of the dry guitar signal. Higher reverb mix settings tend to get lost in the mix, so we’ve made sure you’ll be heard loud and clear by incorporating a volume control capable of up to 20db boost.
The tremolo section has also been upgraded to feature harmonic tremolo, besides the opto and tube bias found in the previous incarnation of our “marine mammal”. This hypnotic and mesmerizing effect originated on certain models of the brown and blonde era amps and does frequency-based modulation by shifting between high and low frequencies compared to the amplitude-based modulation (opto and tube bias) that shifts between volume levels. We’ve made sure to include the two most significant variations of harmonic tremolo, as found in the original amps, that differentiate in the range and sweep of pulsating frequencies. The depth control sets the intensity of modulation while we’ve extended the range of the speed control beyond the span of vintage amps’ to make sure we’ll maximize your creativity. The volume control will boost the signal, if needed, even in the hardest throb settings.

Andy bro...keeep it turned on! most progress i have seen in any player mate, just an honest man here!
Always loved the aesthetics of the White Whale V1. Love the sounds on the V2!
I didn’t guess which was which, but my order of preference was A, C then B and I had a feeling B was the Strymon.
WOW Andy your presentation, ability and production is ...... paraProfessional! Beyond my wildest expectations mate. unFuckingBeleiveably good mate. looking forward to future productions.
Thank you
Sounds great, and I even love the color!
Great sound
Yep. Andy, your videos are just plain fun! Informative, yes, but entertaining as well. Thank you, sir.
Thanks - I always enjoy your videos, partly for the info, partly for your crazy but understated British sense of humor (I'm a Yank.) But the cat growl made me laugh out loud. Made my morning!
Hello from the United States, love the channel!
Hello! Thanks so much for stopping by
@@TheGuitarGeek I was wondering if you had tried any of the Ibanez Gio series with purple heart fretboards? What advice do you have for someone looking for a fretboard that both plays quickly and isn't COMPLETELY lacking any sort of real feel. I hope that makes sense? Take care, thanks for the content!
@@codyfoltz577 Sorry, what do you mean by "real feel"?
Really nice sounds!
I love it! It's a fantastic sweet sound. My Slo pedal is just weird dreams and nightmares in a one hour nap you can't escape.
Preference was :
A > C > B
If money is no object, I would choose the White Whale V2.
Another top review ❤
W0W!
Only a true guitar geek would compare the tones of crashing reverb tanks.❤
Good video man.
Specially fun, and informative, as per usual.
Ah! And you kept the Jet offset ! Hehe
Good on you.
If that guitar had a carved/contoured neck heel, i would've bought it, a year ago.
PS: i really like A / B sound comparisons.. Despite the UA-cam compression, one learns a lot.
Definitely liked the sound of the White Whale best in the blindfold test.. has nicer depth and clarity to it.
I didn't comment until the end of the video but I have a 1966 Super Reverb and I thought the Strymon was the real one.
Lots of fun!
Hi Natasha! Yes what a box of fun this is
Wow Andy that is actually 10x better then i thought it would be when i clicked the vid haha
I was able to tell the difference between the three immediately through my laptop speakers correctly and without hesitation. The Strymon was clearly a digital device. The WW sounded much more open and clear. It might be a great partner with my '67 Showman that has no reverb.
I was really wanting to test myself to find out if I could pick the amplifier and I did so I am happy.
Congrats!
I actually prefered the Strymon 🙃 but Fender and Whale are closer in sound. Well done!
I mixed up the flint and the white whale. My guessing was based on noise floor and not tone. Surprised the white whale noise floor was lower than the Flint. All sounded great IMHO.
11:54 A
12:10 B
12:26 C
Definitely sounds great and “amp like “ Can’t help thinking that it’s the sort of quality difference that the average punter listening would not notice . I already have a Flint and I do notice some deficits in clarity of the sounds Priced similarly in Australia Of the three the amp appealed to me the most.
... by the way I use a Crazy Tube Circuits SPLASH MK3 STEREO REVERB and sold all others which I once have had.
Right when I was about to buy a flint looks like I have a lot to think about
When you bent over the Fender and hit it to crash the reverb I had visions of a loud bang and a cloud of acrid smoke...
😂😂😂 I don’t think these things through to be honest
I thought they all sounded good, but what I found interesting was that the digital Strymon, out of the three, sounded the most “uncontrolled”… like it was on the verge of runaway feedback. Now I don’t know if it was just louder, so the hollowness of the guitar was feeding back, or whether the Flynt reverb is prominent in certain frequencies that made the guitar want to feedback, or if it is an entirely digitally modeled part of the sound built into the effect. But it was interesting.
I didn't pause, but I was surprised by how much difference there was actually. That whale sounds really cool, and I'm curious now what it would sound like with a bass :D
Thanks got being honest.
It’s on the bass on the backing track.
@TheGuitarGeek what is that cool es 330 looking hollow body?
Sorry I heard a demo of this Don’t think Strymon should lose any sleep
I didn´t expect that at all. I prefered the sound of B. 2nd place for C and the last place for A because in my ears it sounds some kind of synthetic. I´m sorry.
I thought A was the White Whale, B the Fender amp and C the Strymon. So I got it wrong, but regardless, *in my opinion the White Whale still sounded the best out of the three,* with the actual Fender coming a close second and the Strymon a distant last. Which surprised me a little as I generally love Strymon pedals.
B's reverb had a similar openness of C, but sounded digital to me (both the reverb and tremolo). The tremolo sounded very identical with A and C. The only difference it seems was the openness of the reverb on C which was a bit better. Can the reverb on the White Whale be adjusted to sound more open like the Fender amp? I can't tell if it's because of the spring size difference or knob settings. Thanks for the review and comparison!
A. Fender
B. Flint
C. White whale
Interestingly, I got A right before I stopped caring and enjoyed the tones.
Nice review, someone know what is the guitar use for the test A, B and C ? The hollow body with the p90 ?
I though A was the Flint, my favourite was B though !
WOW Andy bro you actually played guitar and within the first 30 seconds with artistic capacitance!!!! Bro what happend to you? Henning gave you some lessons or you just finally found yourself musically? Not fucking with you mate just noticed the JUMP in musical ability and i fukin love it!!! Having a double for you mate cuz JeBuz and Jim Beam loves you mate(and i love you too but not in a GHeeey way) Keep up the good work bro!!!! P.S. WOW the James bond guitar and the surf guitar blew my mind while watcing this vid!!! Andy you are the MAN!!!
I really enjoyed reading that. That’s my kind of ramble!
I have the topanga and the solid fx surfer 4 both different but great the white whale sounds ok as well but i prefer the ones i have, I did not like the tremolo on it at all, I use the boss tr2 keeley and a source audio Vertigo for that
I got the middle one right. Had that 60s/70s sound like Hurdy Gurdy Man and even (maybe?) Baba O'Riley.
1 out of 3 is pretty good
@@TheGuitarGeek Well, kind of, sort of. Thanks tho!
At 9:50, I literally was hoping you would do "How Soon Is Now? Thank you.
You are most welcome
If you kick it will it WIPEOUT?
Can anybody tell what is the song Andy plays at 9:58 ? Also I am quite sure it's A - wild tubes; B - Flint; C - Fender, let's see if I got it right!
I got the 1,2,3 bit correct ,but then you said , A,B,C..
I thought the amp reverb was a little richer.
Well it was obvious that the digital was 2 .. I am surprised it was so easy to spot.
I know right? I was picking up some weird sounds that I wouldn't expect from an analog pedal or from an amp.
Putting a spring reverb into a pedal you're going to kick around the stage sounds like trouble to me.
Nahhh. You’d have to REALLY kick it to have a problem.
My guess. A- Flint, B- White Whale, C- Fender
1 outta 3 ain't bad. lol. I liked B the least and just assumed it was the White Whale cause I wasn't digging the trem in the demo. The Amp was pretty unmistakable, or maybe I just got lucky!
I literally got all of them wrong.
Fender, Whale, Strymon 😂
Grogu in the sunburst.
You are the first and so far only person to notice. Congratulations, you win 20 guitar geek points. 🥰
I thank you. 😂😂😂
If it will fix my back I'll sleep on it :)
If it does, I’ll get a second one
(PAUSED) A Fender. B Stymon. C White Whale. (Edit: UNPAUSED) dang it.....
The presenter in these videos resembles the guitar player from Culture Club Roy Hay. Separated at birth? They should do a video together.
Call me Ishmael.
I’ve never read it but this makes me want to
@@TheGuitarGeektake a look its in a book. A reading rainbow 🌈
Reading is FUNdamental
If only I could read
