Holy Grail & spring reverb

Vince Frank (mournblade1066) - 09 Sep 2003 08:51:13

Hiya, dude. I don't think there's a digital reverb unit made that can
give you what you want. That splash sound was created by the agitated
springs inside the old spring reverb units. It's entirely a result of
the analog nature of the spring reverb effect, and not something that
can really be done digitally. At least not that I've seen, so far.
===>Hello! Thanks for the reply. However, I don't know if there
AREN'T digital reverb pedals that can emulate the spring reverb. The
manufactures of The Holy Grail reverb pedal (Electro-Harmonix) claim
that Dick Dale himself couldn't tell the difference.
Their website is: www.ehx.com
Has anyone out there used this??? The demos they have don't really
show that "spring" sound that I'm assuming is that "wet" sound that I
associate with the Fender amps. . . . Can anyone verify that it DOES
emulate that sound? I don't wanna shell out the bucks without knowing
up front. Thanks!
Vincent
