Cool! I thought one of these would be the only answer to my reverb needs until the Topanga came along. Still kinda want one though. Nice work!

Ahh yes, I tried many a spring reverb emulation pedal including the topnaga. Some were good, even very good, but nothing has bought a smile to my face like this unit has. not even the built in spring reverb in the princeton reverb seems a good!
You can get depth and dwell out of a peddle but you cant seem to get the right drip. IMO anyway.

No other reverb comes close to a reverb tank. You did well Ant. Perseverance paid off nicely.

I recognise them surfer toons too. :mental:

You're the man tubeswell, thanks for putting me onto the holy grail of grounding authorities.
Yeh, this tank is great. I just stayed up jamming through it for hours last night, then I realized I have a gig today so I better not go getting any blisters !

Put this bad boy through its paces at a little band practice tonight.
Couldn't be happier with its performance.
Even added a little finishing flourish with an old valiant emblem...
