Wampler Mini Faux Spring Reverb
Wampler · pedal
The Wampler Mini Faux Spring Reverb is a compact pedal that recreates the warm, drippy character of a classic outboard spring reverb tank in a small, simple enclosure. With straightforward controls for the reverb level and tone, it delivers everything from subtle ambience that adds dimension to clean tones to deep, splashy, surf-style spring drip, while preserving the dry signal's clarity. It captures the bouncy, resonant decay of real spring reverb without the bulk or microphonic noise of a physical tank. It suits surf, rockabilly, blues, and vintage-leaning players wanting authentic spring reverb tones in a pedalboard-friendly format, offering classic drip and ambience for clean rhythm and lead that blends naturally with amps and other effects in a focused, easy-to-use reverb pedal.
