That looks really cool! The amps sounded very nice, but I couldn't tell if the reverb was any good. — |

http://tindeck.com/listen/mcpb A guy at HC got an advance copy and made demos. This is the 63 Reverb model into the Twin model. I am so impressed.

Not to bag on it or anything, I am sure its quite good, but computerized digital reverb?!? After I read that, I read that this is the next big thing...

I don't think it's possible to get a really good digital simulation of tank reverb - because what makes a tank what it is, are the random factors - new shocks being delivered to a spring that is still shocked form the last note. Same reason digital pianos sound sterile - they are missing the internal cross-resonances. I have a Verbzilla and if you crank it up and play muted, you can hear that every single 'drip' is identical to the last - a tank is nothing like that. The Lexicon rack-reverb in my studio is the same (albeit more realistic on the drips - all of which are still clones though) A friend of mine has Native Instruments' 'Guitar Rig' which comes up with a nice picture of a '63 tank and with the same control panel. This is a well-regarded program that does some clever stuff, but when you A/B test it next to a real tank, it's laughable. Personally, I think that all but the cheapest in-amplifier spring reverb usually sounds better than anything digital for Surf music. If not, then just a digital reverb which sounds really good on it's own terms - rather than failing to emulate a tank. —http://www.myspace.com/thepashuns Youth and enthusiasm are no match for age and treachery. |

Hey, the Amplitude reverb sounds a hell of a lot better than anything I've been able to get out of Garageband. Total digital envy here. -- Woody —It takes a lot of mussel memory to avoid clams. |

I agree. Way better than the Guitar Rig 3 reverb too. — |

i just tried it out. even it's only for producing demos, it's the best spring reverb simulator i've ever heard. it's sounds really great, it has drip and everything. of course it would never be the same as a real tank, but it's a really good simulator. —Guitar Player in Nahuelaizers |

Holy Smokes!!! How come I never heard about this until now! The '63 reverb is the best digital emulation out there... no question. Get it's free 10 day trial run while you still can!

Yeah, it's pretty amazing. It's a bit noisy, but it really has some amazing drip. I'd love to compare it to the real thing, if I could actually afford the real thing. — |

I posted about this awhile back on my old account (bots). This IS your practise amp solution. I own the required set up (showman, tank, 2x15 jbl's) and i can say that I'm jealous of my laptops ability to nail the sound better than the real thing..... in headphones. all for less than 200 bones!! better have a decent CPU though, i run a dual core with 4 gigs of RAM and it eats 25% of said power —formerly SvD, bots.... member since 2006.

Just for fun, I recorded a clip of the 63 Reverb modeler. I'm using their Twin Reverb amp model here. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7728405 — |

i always used Amplitube for making demos and i was waiting and hoping for them to make a Fender simulator.
