Crazy Tube Circuits White Whale

Simply put - sweet... after having tried multiple digital reverbs, this combined with my Fender Pro Jr. is just right. And the tone tweaking options are wider then on standard amp reverbs. And the tremollo is a cherry on the cake, especially in its brown position. Just be careful to randomly hit the case - there is a real spring tank inside so you will get a thunder sound immediately... so carefully with these switches, Eugene

Unique thing

I have a spring reverb in my combo and I bought this pedal to always have analogue reverb with any amp. And it's totally worth it. I love this pedal and always use it instead of built-in reverb.

At first, I didn't really like it, because combo's reverb sounded smoother and warmer. But after playing with settings I managed to get a really good sound from the pedal. The pedal gives more options. It gives higher intensity range than built-in reverb, allows to tweak brightness of reverb and mix of dry and wet signal. On my opinion differences between 'II' and 'III' mode are not so noticeable.

The pedal has a tremolo too. I'm still learning how to use it so can't say anything about it at the moment. But it's still good to get an extra effect, considering the price.

The pedal is built very good and looks great. Everyone pays attention to this beauty.

Regarding possible cons, it might be not as versatile as some digital pedals. When it lays on unstable base it can make 'trem' sound unexpectedly. And it's pretty expensive.

Overall, the pedal is great sounding and cool looking, with good amount of features.

The real thing - in a small enclosure

It's amazing what a spring reverb can do. Adding this to my Blues Cube (digital reverb built in) really changes the character to a more vintage and organic sound with a real sense of space that digital reverb cannot produce.

Taking into account the size of the pedal, the sound of the reverb is really good and offers a lot of options for tweaking. It can be a little harsh at times, even with the tone down, but that is likely due to the short springs.

The tremolo, especially in brownface mode is beautiful and the combination with reverb magical. I sold my Mooer Trelicopter right away, no comparison. My only complaint is that the adjustments of speed and depth are not linear and it can be a pain to get exactly the settings you're looking for, but you learn to live with that.

The build quality is clearly excellent and the dampening really well made. If your amp doens't have spring reverb, I absolutely recommend this pedal! The price can seem a little steep, but you get 3 effects in one (also a nice boost) and it really makes a huge difference in your sound.
