Used the True Spring since it's release.The Surfybear Compact remains the only unit I would replace it with.The TS can be further customized to any sound you desire, even if it lacks the vibe and attack of the real thing, a quality that is felt more than heard, and typically lost in live mixes. Much is lost in UTube demos, including those properly recorded.
I've thought about selling the metal and getting a compact instead, purely for space reasons, but I'm glad I didn't. I don't know enough about the technical side of things but I figured the compact is a compromise I'm not willing to make (yet). I'm still curious to try one and compare them though. If money weren't an issue, the true spring does seem like the best option, but it's just too expensive for me, and without trying one, I find myself getting hung up on the fact that, even with all it can do, it's not the real deal and it may not have the magic of my surfybear.
@@donderjong The Compact has a different spring pan, with 3 short instead of 2 long springs.The result is literally a tighter and less flubby response, which isn't really capable of the extremes that the 2 spring is. I personally would keep the one you have, as besides the size, - it's the bomb.When I bought the TS , Surfybear wasn't a thing, yet; now I have a local dealer that carries their full line. I might keep the TS, but I plan on getting a Compact or a Metal soon.
Realistically, these are meant to be used together to achieve a surf drip sound, as the Surfybear is an exact copy of the Fender 6G15 outboard reverb unit. It had a lot more drip and reverb on tap than the amps did, so you're comparing an amp reverb and tremolo with an external reverb unit and amp tremolo. To me, both units sound excellent for what they are emulating. Nice video
@@donderjong yea for sure. After hearing it in your video, i had to look it up, and its way cheaper than i thought it would be. Definitely on my list now.
@@orryfishburne5326 If you can afford it, I'd say go for it! Unless the size is an issue (in which case I'd recommend the Compact model), I doubt you'll find a more authentic spring reverb. Their Classic is arguably the most authentic, but that's not really a pedal anymore.

Have been gigging with the dream for two years ... no amps... sound men love it , I love it , always lots of compliments on sound from audience
Great demo, thank you !
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it!

That Surfybear sounds amazing
Definitely a keeper. Even if I don't use it much, it's too good to get rid of.

Nice demo. I have Dream 65 and I love it. I have the Surfybear Metal in my sights.
Thanks, and excellent choice!
Really nice sound!! The lick is yours?
Thank you! Yes, I came up with it during recording, but it's always possible I heard it somewhere before and it stuck with me.
@@donderjong Really nice!! If you like this kind of music, I would like to ask you something ;) how can i send you a pm?
@@wraaangsolo You can find me on instagram. RUclips doesn't have DMs anymore as far as I know.
@@donderjong I have not inst. 😅
In the dream 65, is its trem pre or post spring emulation?
post
Sorry man, for some reason I totally missed your comment. But yes, it's very closely based on a Deluxe Reverb which has tremolo after reverb.
