If Dick Dale himself can't tell he difference, it has to be due to the fact
that he's been overloading showmans for the better part of his life and
subsequently suffered hearing loss. of course EHX would claim such a thing,
what are they gonna say? 'our pedal is fun, but Dick Dale wouldn't be caught
dead with it'? Just this last week, I've been offered lower interest rates,
a bigger penis, and convincing digital reverb. thank you, I'll stick with
what I've got for the moment.
EHX builds great pedals, well worth the money, to be sure. And true, if the
PA system is bad enough, no one will hear the difference between a tank and
a holy grail... or between MIA jazzmaster and plywood stratcopy, for that
matter..... but as has been said, at this point there is no convincing
digital reverb available that can compete with tank, period. (and if there
were, I'm sure it would be a hell of lot more expensive than a tank, btw)
still, check that pedal out in a music store somewhere; if you like it then,
and it does what you want it to do, buy it, and don't care for anyone's
opinion but you're own.
good luck
