I found this one to be quite different, and more focused into doing the "reverb sound", than the "spring sound", if that makes sense. The price tag looks good, and the quality apears to be very good, and is made in Germany.
I have to say this is not a low-fi, or springy type, so you dont hear a lot of "boing" all the time.
It has been made to sound clean, and it does sound in some instances similar to longer plate sounds.
it has lots of flexibility, with the tone control alowing very deep cavernous sounds on the bassy side, or more of a mid range cuting splash on the other, but never being very brigh or obstrusive. So it sounds natural, but keeping the focus of the guitar, without mudying it up and keeping a good separation between the guitar sound and the reverb sound.
You also can take it to an extreme level, because the blend allows full wet to full dry. The warmth of the springs, lets you crank it up and it still sounds natural and musical, because it is REAL reverb happening... So it can get on the surfy side... or even for more ambient you can get pretty deep and dark with the tone turned into the bass side....
So if you are into a springgy sound, with lots of that distinctive boing this might not be for you, but if you are tired of digital emulations and want a very natural and studio quality reverb that is versatile and warm, you might want to check this one out.
Another great feature is input and output level control, allowing for very wet, or only wet without loosing punch, and the foot switchable effect bypass, keeps the dry signal at the same level when the effect is bypassed... even allowing some serious boost if used dry. It does not do the true bypass "thing", wich i find neglectable, I like the tone of the boost, and I like to boost my amps inputs quite a bit, but that is a more personal observation...
