That Pedal Show | Our Fave Real Spring Reverb Pedal? [Surfy Bear, Echo Fix, White Whale, Headroom & Spring King] @ThatPedalShow | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
If you must have springs – and you MUST – which one would you choose?
Welcome to the show. Yes we’ve done spring reverbs before, but there are a couple of interesting, relatively recent entrants to the market. So it’s time to get springy once again.
Crazy Tube Circuits has updated the White Whale to V2 and Echo Fix has introduced its own surprisingly compact, real spring ’verb. Dan loves the Headroom, I love the Surfy Bear and – judging by the comments in the last video – you all love the Dano Spring King!
You know the deal, we’ll have a blast through all of ’em and see what we think.
Enjoy the show!
- Why no digital spring reverb pedal?
We wouldn't choose one over a real spring. Ever. Digital is of course fantastic for plates, rooms and all the weird-beardy stuff, and we use those all the time.
- Why don’t you have the big Fender tube one?
They’re rare, we couldn’t find one to borrow and we wouldn’t buy one with our own money. Sorta the same for the Victoria Reverberato. Except we probably would.
- Why didn’t you include the Game Changer Light Pedal?
Erm, not entirely sure. Should have been here really. We do have one and we have featured it before: youtu.be/DmTJmuWE-r8
Enjoy the episode!

Does JAM’s modern comp stand stand up to Dan’s vintage fave?
Welcome to the show and welcome to Effector Du Jour. Short videos, and as to-the-point as That Pedal Show is ever likely to get.
Sooooo, Jam Pedals makes perhaps our favourite modern pedal compressor inspired by the classic MXR Dyna-Comp. Erm, have a guess what this video is about…

Two more Klon-style drives… but with with NOS germanium diodes
Welcome to the show and welcome to Effector Du Jour. Short videos, and as to-the-point as That Pedal Show is ever likely to get.
Yes yes yes, we know! They’re probably sold out by now. But there’s always Reverb, and heaven forfend, eBay…
Nevertheless, now that the dear old Klon Centaur has secured its unobtanium status for good, we players and pedal makers alike are still //slightly// obsessed with finding its tone at a more, erm, obtainable prices. So here are two of ‘em, side by side.
Enjoy!

![The Wonderful World Of Whammy & Pitch Shifting [A Very Basic Intro]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Iays6ltvRIQ/hqdefault.jpg "The Wonderful World Of Whammy & Pitch Shifting [A Very Basic Intro]
The world’s favourite pitch shifter gets Dan and Mick’d. Oh dear…
Welcome to the show! Get ready for 45 minutes of Dan being genuinely enthusiastic and me wanting the end to come with vengeance and burning hellfire.
The mental states of two middle-aged men notwithstanding, The Digitech Whammy is without question among the all-time classic guitar pedals, put to immense effect via artists as diverse as Tom Morello, John Scofield and Jack White. Its genre-defining pitch shifting initially delivered a glitchy, badly-tracking mess and while the ensuing years have brought a quantum leap in processing power, it is that idiosyncratically unnatural sound of the Whammy that has won it such a vast legion of devoted users.
With that in mind, we we start with a basic introduction to the Whammy before discussing some other ways to introduce real-time pitch shifting to your tones.
Enjoy the show…
