In my experience with many plugins, from those included in amp sims to other, dedicated Spring algorithms, they have all come up short. I could never quite place the reason why a well-captured amp profile didn't sound 'right.' Now, I do. I was researching spring reverb plugins/pedals, and Surfybear came up in something I was reading. I didn't even realize that real, standalone, spring tanks were even made these days! I ordered this after reading a bunch of reviews and watching a few videos. It was backordered, so I had to wait a month or so.
The Surfybear Metal is everything I could've hoped for as far as the tone is concerned. Into my audio interface and Tonex, the Surfybear brings the guitar alive in a way I've never heard a digital emulation do. The effect responds amazingly to dynamics.
The main issue I can see is its size, but as I'm not trying to fit it onto a pedalboard, it is no problem for me.
My Surfeybear Metal is set up in my guitar signal chain to my DAW and whatever 'amp' capture I'm using at a given moment. It can sound very different, depending on the amp it's going into, but it's easy enough to dial in a sweet tone.
There are all kinds of digital reverbs out there, but none of the ones I've heard sound like this.

Stunning sounds

Very impressed with the sounds of the Surfybear. I have tried digital pedals before and some are very good, but this is the real deal and it sounds incredible. Most reviews of the Surfybear tend to focus on Surf guitar, which it clearly does so well. But equally, it excels at more mellow styles. I am mainly using it in conjunction with tape delay for ambient slide blues in the Ry Cooder ‘Paris, Texas’ vein.
I find Spring reverbs tend to add brightness (and sometimes harshness) to the sound, but this Surfybear has got a warmth which brings something extra to the overall sound... so like an ‘always on’ effect. And I’ve never felt that way about spring reverb before. My only gripe is this particular unit has a cosmetic blemish: the top of the metal chassis has a slight kink/twist. It is only minor, but it is a bit disappointing nonetheless. But the pedal is great overall.
