splashy springs

The Pioneer spring reverb unit certainly has its place, but that place is a very specific, somewhat limited one. It doesn't sound great on everything like the Vermona spring reverb. It's more of a particular sound. it works very well for drums and guitar, less well on vocals and keyboards. I love the green backlit graphic that changes as you twist the "reverb time" knob.
