I realize Surf Guitar 101 is basically a user group for the Surfybear - of which I am one - but am I really the only one who bought the La Grotte?
You can read all about it elsewhere so I'll be brief. The La Grotte is Jack White's collaboration between Third Man and Anasounds. It's not a drip machine but a wet ambient spring reverb in a pedal. It ranges from overwhelmingly huge to subtle. The secret juice is the preamp. It has become my general use, non-drip reverb.
In August after reading about it and watching videos, I pre-ordered one (there was some hemming and hawing because it's not something I typically do). I've been using it since September when it arrived about ten days ahead of the estimated ship date. Mine is #72. I dig it.

I've got one, it does some crazy crazy stuff.
"wet ambient spring" is a great description.

I dig reverb in many forms and would happily give this one a try. And while there is much praise for the Surfybear here (well-deserved, of course!), I think a lot of it comes down to how some outboard reverb units/pedals really outshine the built-in reverb in most amps. It's like the difference between "yay, I've got reverb that really sounds good" and "that's amazing and I wish all reverb was like that!"
I don't always need drippy sounds - I just want sounds that make me happy.
