Re: Reverb preferences, was New Fender Jazzmaster and Surf Gear

I agree Gavin
none of the pedals can match a tube unit, but at living room volume,
the difference just gets a lot smaller. Ive got the digitech reverb,
and I found it good enough to play around with at home. the same will
go for the holy grail and the verbzilla.
btw, nice to know about the weber - i'm waiting on a kit as we speak.
