Mad Professor Silver Spring Reverb Effect Pedal

General

Finnish pedal-wizards, Mad Professor conjure their effect stompboxes according to one simple rule: 'small footprint and big tone'. The Silver Spring Reverb is a sublime example. The pedalboard-friendly housing is slim and compact, and despite its digital source, the reverb itself has a rich, natural feel due to an entirely analogue signal path, free of noise-suppressing circuits, leaving a pure decay. This flexible little pedal is no one-trick-pony though...

Operation

Instead of a selection pot that scrolls through various reverb types, you're provided with a stepless Tone and Time pot to search for your preferred reverb flavour. So here, you're not limited to the Spring, Plate, Room, or Hall standards offered by most compact reverb stompboxes, but can shape and fine-tune a reverb of your own. Push the Tone pot all the way to the left, and the Silver Spring responds with a pure studio reverb, pull it back all the way to the left, and you're greeted with what sounds like a hulking vintage reverb-tank. Meanwhile, the decay is adjusted using the Time pot which spans from a modest room-style reverb that expands to the size of a great hall.
