Third Man Hardware and Reverb has announced the Anasounds La Grotte analog reverb pedal. La Grotte is a mechanical reverb with an integrated three-spring tank, but there is also a very warm preamp with a strong character, and an ultra-effective two-band EQ (which only affects the reverb itself). Separate volume controls for direct sound and reverb sound give you access to the ideal mix you've always been looking for. Whatever your sound aesthetic may be, vintage or modern, blues or pop, garage or soul, you'll get that tone with this reverb.
“It’s been a lifetime of searching for a small real spring reverb effect unit that could be used as a stomp box on stage or in the studio,” Jack White says. “The hang up is that you normally have to use really long springs to get a good sound, making the unit too large. With the La Grotte pedal, it was the addition of the third spring that really brought this sound alive and gave us the ability to have that long decay from a real spring in a small box. In addition the built in drive/boost feature you get from the “dry” knob is very impressive in how it elevates the signal you are sending to the springs.”
Pre-order limited edition yellow exclusively on Reverb, and the standard black now on ThirdManRecords.com. UK based customers can pre-order both black and special edition yellow on ThirdManRecords.co.uk.
