Excellent and versatile

First Reverb pedal I've purchased, couldn't be happier. JHS produces great products and the Spring Tank Reverb is no exception. The pedal features two 'tanks' enabling you to isolate an effects loop from the rest of your chain. Each tank has its own volume pod, which is super useful if you need different levels for a multitude of dynamics you want to tackle. The Boost pod can be used to correct any perceived loss in volume, though I often use this function as its own boost pedal after considering its power. The Reverb effect itself is controlled by two knobs, a length pot, and a depth pot. These are standard functions for reverb pedals and this unit has taken a brilliant approach to them - allowing you to emulate everything from tight-knit reverb to distant and ambient washed-out surf rock. Finally, if you run out of a darker amp like me, then the 'highs' knob is the perfect function for promoting clarity in the mix.
