The Surfybear Metal is a real spring pedal that replicates the tones of vintage reverb pans with great accuracy, and it’s considered by many as the best recreation of a Fender 6g15.
It features useful controls like a Volume (to make up for lost volume when the effect is on), a Mix knob to perfectly set the amount of reverb and Tone control.
The Dwell knob sets the amount of signal sent to the springs, causing a more intense reverberation that builds up faster at higher settings.
At 17.5″ in width, this is no small device – guitarists with space problem may want to look into its smaller (but by no means “small”) brother the Surfybear Compact.
