Hey - Does anyone have any first hand direct experience with Milkman's Reverb Unit? There are two videos on YouTube that I can find- but I wanted to get someone's opinion here about the drip possibilities. I find most of you have a good feel for what I'm looking for which is the Astronauts type of drip and not the percussive clicking.
In the two video clips I can hear dripping goodness at times but am concerned its basically from dialing everything to 11. I'm hoping you can answer if you get drippy at less extreme settings? Those videos show that the unit drips but also has so much Dwell and Mix (could be the recording also) dialed in that it sounds noisy to me more than pleasant. I'm looking for splatty and not clicky and also not washed out beneath the ambient dwell/depth. Any opinions would be welcome..... Thanks
— Peace to you, not on you

We have been using Milkman gear, amps and reverb units for a few years and they're great. The new reverb unit Milkman offers also contains harmonic tremolo for the original brown face reverb sound. Very cool. Our Milkman Units are on 5-6 and sound great as you hear on the above 2 videos.

Good links, Can you answer if it can get splatty drip and not clicky and/or washed out in the dwell and depth?

Yes, splatty, clicky or washed out. It does it all.

I was sold on these until I contacted Milkman directly and they told me the harmonic vibrato comes BEFORE the reverb, not after. I was hoping to get the reverb before vibrato sound I'm used to but not with this unit

That’s bunk! Although I’m not an EE, I feel they could have added a switch so we could choose the order. I agree that vibrato after reverb sounds the best.

Not to hijack, but do I need to change the order of my pedals? I have the SurfyTrem pedal before my '63 RI unit (and Surfy Compact). Have I been doing it wrong all these years? I could have sworn I read the reverb should come last (but before the Brownfacer pedal). Thank you for your input.

There are no rules, only what sounds good to you. AFAIK Fender amps have the tremolo after the reverb. This is the sound I like, with the tremolo acting on the reverb tails, it sounds like breathing.
