Saw them live once and wasn‘t particularly impressed with the reverb sound (and yes, „drowned“ is the right word).Khruangbin, touring all over the world, is famous for their guitar sound, drowned in spring reverb.
So what does he use ... simply a EHX Holy Grail ...
We're cork sniffers.
My Fav Spring Reveb sound is "Once Upon A Time In The West" by Dire Straits. I know Mark used a Music Man on the Alchemy live album. Most likely in the studio as well to record the song.My MusicMan Sixty-Five had the best spring reverb I ever heard.
My personal experience is with spring reverb in combo amps which puts the reverb before the power stage, and of course, the speaker.
When I think of spring reverb, I think surf. One of the kings of surf, Dick Dale, ran original Fender reverb units BEFORE the amp. It had more controls to shape the sound. This guy demos both:
but yeah, I'm feeling it isn't quite the right drippy.
I did get quite good results with a Space Designer (convolution reverb) in an Aux Channel in Logic put into a send/return loop, but of course it would be mega nice if this could be done with the AXE itself.I’d consider a Poly Effects Digit or used Logidy EPSI in a send/return loop of the Axe III. I like long convolution reverbs of real spaces and springs.

Exactly my feelings...
That's definitely an opinion.Spring reverb is the best and most important reverb for guitar tones. I'd love a spring reverb block with 10 different sproings.
Whaaaaaaat? This thing drips so much a dude in white coveralls ran up and slapped a "Wet Paint" sign on me when I was recording this:
Channel 3 on the attached reverb block was used. Block was in front of a nicely dialled in DR vibrato channel from @austinbuddy's latest live tones pack. Level is up to hit the amp harder, just like the video.

Exactly what happens IRL!You have to play very staccato otherwise the reverb itself over takes the drip.
I use it for surf style guitar but also sometimes in my Fender amp models for authenticity. Most of the time I live on a Vox or Marshall with some type of plate verbThat's definitely an opinion.
Personally, I never use it and don't care for it at all. (Also an opinion )
Yeah... That would basically cover the 2 cases I would ever use it.I use it for surf style guitar but also sometimes in my Fender amp models for authenticity. Most of the time I live on a Vox or Marshall with some type of plate verb
Here, you earned it:My best joke ever on this forum and it's buried three pages into a thread few will see, I suspect. Sigh.

Eek. I hope the others are buried deeper.My best joke ever on this forum and it's buried three pages into a thread few will see, I suspect. Sigh.
