Hi everybody! New to the forum as new to DrZ amps! I just purchased a Remedy head that I'm gigging regularly. At the moment I use a neunaber wet but I'm not happy about the way the effect blends with the amp distortion, it sounds harsh no matter how I set the tone control on the pedal and in general the reverb doesn't sound organic with the dry sound if it makes any sense... I'd like to add a real spring reverb in front of the amp, not a real tank like the Z-Verb or the fender (both for portability issues and for the simple fact that I don't need that big surf drip). Just a good sounding pedal with real springs to put on top of the amp and forget about it (better if switchable from remote just to avoid that funky noise you get when you kick or move an amp with springs)
Any suggestion will be more than appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I sometimes use the Van Amps Soul Mate. True spring, compact, sounds great.

In a loop or out front? I generally don't use reverb with lots of gain, sometimes some delay but rarely any 'verb.

Try a Carl Martin Headroom true spring reverb with remote switching for on/off and for switching between 2 different settings as 2 channel.

I REALLY like the simplicity and tone of the BOING reverb pedal by J. Rockett. I think it nails the Fender amp reverb tone. It is the verb pedal I use with my Remedy. One knob: Want more reverb? Turn it up. Less? Turn it down. Just like an amp.

Good luck with this rabbit hole. This is what I landed on and never looked back.

In front, I'm trying to obtain out of the remedy the same kind of reverb that I became addicted of with my blackface super reverb. No drip or splashes, just that warm spring reverb. The neunaber just sounds too "digital" with this amp and the decay has that annoying sizzle that can't be dialed out with the controls.

I’m not familiar with the Remedy but use either the Soulmate or the Z Verb with the Cure and Therapy with great results. Real springs do make a difference when recording or in a quiet room. All bets are off when playing live.

The Carl Martin is another contender: how does it work compared to a fender blackface in-built reverb? I have a very early 1970 silver face Vibrolux reverb and if l run the headroom into the non reverb channel ,via an ab/y ,and switch from one channel to the other reverb channel I can set it so that is near identical to the Vibrolux onboard reverb at all settings apart from extreme drip. However l do run an old RCA 5963 in v3 as too much reverb for me on the Vibrolux with the stock 12AT7. My headroom usually lives in the loop on my Maz NR JR at a just perceivable setting with the second channel set for more depth and switched between the two remotely. l usually run 2 amps more often than not either the Vibrolux or a Victory V40 deluxe but always with the Maz. If l need more reverb l switch on either a HOF mini or Polara both on my board both in a gig rig quartermaster loop.

In front of a cooking Marshall type amp, personally, I'd say look into plate type reverbs. The Talisman ( from Catlinbread) might be more what you are after. Here's a good display of it in front of a cooking Marshall. It's a great pedal. It can be set to sound pretty "springy ", but really excels at hiding behind an overdriven amp and adding enough verb to sound great, but not get in the way and sound silly. The high pass control "hides" it in the mix. Seriously, in front of a cooking amp... that's what you want. The boost is cool to. It's a good one.

You don't have to have real springs to get that spring reverb sound anymore. There are several choices but I think you will find the one most recommended will be the Strymon Flint, which also has an EXCELLENT Tremolo effect. Strymon also makes two other reverb boxes with more adjustment features but they are more expensive. I find the Flint to be all I need. It works well in an effects loop too which I think is the optimal placement, especially if you are just going to set it on the amp where the patch cables can be kept short.

It still works great in front of the amp which is where I currently run it.

I just saw this review for the White Whale a couple of days ago. Very interesting. There may finally be something to really compete with my Flint. Besides its great sound I like that you can set it on top of the amp and control the switching of the bypass of both effects remotely. That way you can connect it in the effects loop with short cables and it does not take up real estate on your pedalboard. A minor thing, I know, but something that has always kind of irked me about my Flint that Strymon should have thought about.

You should watch the recent episode of That Pedal Show. The anasounds unit sounds unreal.
