ProCo RAT 2
Proco
13% matchThe RAT 2's bright, cutting distortion gives the Splash's shimmering, surf-voiced reverb a driven signal to trail off, not real gain to stack.
MXR Phase 90
MXR
12% matchRun the Phase 90's classic sweep after the Splash's shimmering, surf-voiced reverb and the modulation colors the reverb tail directly.
Electro-Harmonix Small Stone
Electro-Harmonix
11% matchRun the Small Stone's vowel-y phase sweep after the Splash's spring reverb so the modulation colors the wash instead of the dry signal.
Malekko Omicron Phase
