Those are great CDs, a great "intro" to the spaghetti western/mexican-type music. Very cool. Movies of course were great as well. And Pulp Fiction also had some great stuff on the soundtrack.

BTW... they're making Kill Bill 3! 1 & 2 were actually awesome, if 3 is as good, it'll be one of my fave trilogies of all time.

TV, did you ever get to try The Gomez reverb tank?

Those mesas did/do have a peculiar reverb. My old rect-o-verb had an almost smokey club prescence to it when it was engaged. My Twin RI was pretty much "let's go surfing" when it was high enough to be heard to "10" on the knob.

I'm thinking I need some reverb for spaghetti western type stuff...or maybe some weird attempt at motown r&b/soul blues thang...yep...my mind is bouncing around musically.

nope, I had enough of gomez and his shenanigans as a dealer with the
el sonidos.

That stinks, it seems like he makes great stuff, and he's pretty focused on the customer.

I've seen the movies but never listened to the soundtracks, very rarely do I venture into soundtracks. I will have to check those out...I do need some good house cleaning music

Short version: Digiverb wins.

Long version:
I have never used a tank, so I can't comment on how close the pedal is to the tank. I find the Digiverb better in every way. The EQ control on the Digiverb works better than the Tone knob on the FRV-1 to warm things up, the Digiverb has more drip (actually, I'm surprised the FRV-1 didn't have more... sounded nothing like all the surf recordings.) I also hear a "digitalness" with the FRV-1 that I do NOT hear with the Digiverb.

I knew the Digiverb was more versatile (I still haven't found an equal to the "Church" setting), but I even prefer the spring setting on the Digiverb to the FRV-1.

So it goes back. Next up: the EHX Cathedral.

We LOVE THOSE SOUNDTRACKS and films as well. Try the Dusk Till Dawn cd too. Great stuff (not to mention Hayek pouring the bottle of wine down her leg scene - swing).

Has anyone tried the MR. SRINGGY REVERB BY LEE JACKSON? The demos I heard sound nice.
