Surfydrip Switch Question

raylinds Joined: Jul 05, 2019 Posts: 154	Posted on May 03 2025 02:46 PM I love all of my SurfyBear pedals and want to make sure I am not missing out on anything. I have a '63 RS Fender reverb unit that I love. I see that the Surfydrip Switch can be connected to it, but I am a little unclear as to what it does, it seems to be a mixer type control, but how would this be different than the mixer knob on the reverb unit? Thanks Top

So you would set the max drip level without the switch, and dial down for a drier settings with the switch. Ran — The Scimitars Last edited: May 03, 2025 20:36:02 Top

I love Surf reverb, but it’s not apropos for every song, so it comes in very handy to have a footswitch controllable way of backing down out of drip land. Or, as Mr. Snyder mentions, rhythm, even on Surf, can at times benefit from a lighter touch. — The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar.

I agree things can get boring if your always running maximum drip. Too much reverb can be worse than too little reverb. Everybody remembers Dick Dale’s sound on Miserlou, but he also did Summer Surf, which was very mellow. — The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar.
