He saw I had my settings at 6/6/6 and said that the idea that this is optimal settings is (and I quote him) "bullshit". He said to back off the mix and try 7/3/7 and sure enough, it got SO much more drippy. Top

My favorite settings on my SB Metal are around these TONE:7 MIX:4 DWELL:7 Sometimes rolling off the tone a bit, depending on the song I play. For extra ambient/20.000 leagues under the sea sound I dial the mighty 7/7/7 — You can never have too much reverb. Top

I’d also say the Source Audio True Spring likely delivers the most consistent and easiest to obtain “drip”. It’s essentially dialed in out of the box. I use the Surfy Bear Compact live because the two mix option is beyond convenient for multiple tones, but the True Spring is the definition of easy. I’d like to mention the boost/preamp(?) ability of the volume knob on the Compact is really great. I very frequently use it just for that with the mix low. — Kitten and The Tonics https://kittenandthetonics.com/ Last edited: May 20, 2025 20:02:31 Top

I would agree, the Tank setting on a True Spring is about as good as I’ve ever heard from a pedal. — The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar.
