Surfy Industries SurfyBear Metal Tank LTD, Blue Overview

Featuring the same spec as the Classic Tank, presented in a more durable unit with black aluminium casing and true bypass.

Each Surfy product comes with a free lifetime warranty once you register your product on their website.

Surfy Industries create portable guitar effects inspired by classic vintage sounds. The SurfyBear Metal Tank is a reverb unit that has the same controls as the original Fender 6G15 vacuum tube spring reverb effects unit all contained in a more compact, modern pedal.

The SurfyBear Metal Tank has an original Accutronics type-4 spring reverb pan, and simple easy-to-use controls The ‘Volume’ knob lets you adjust the output signal, ‘Tone’ allows you to adjust how bright or dark the sound is, ‘Mixer’ adjusts the balance between wet and dry signals, and ‘Dwell’ is simply the amount of the effect. There’s also True Bypass switch, which, when turned on, keeps your signal fully intact without loss of strength or frequencies, and a ¼” jack that lets you connect an external footswitch (not included) to get even more control over your sound.

The SurfyBear Metal Tank is completed with a sleek black aluminium body with removable feet on the bottom, allowing it to fit comfortably on your pedalboard, or as a standalone unit.

If you want the same functionality with a vintage look, take a look at the SurfyBear Reverb Tank, which has a wooden enclosure with Fender-style tolex, Switchcraft components and no true bypass.

Just about the only thing (save the original that it is an approximation of, and other products in the same range) that does what it does. Will be selling my oceans 11 now.

If you want the surf sound then you need this. If you’ve ever wanted a fender 6g15 reverb unit then this is the sound but in a pedal. No digital trickery here just a clone of the original circuit with JFET transistors instead of valves and a proper spring reverb pan. Real spring reverb with real drip. This metal version has a level control which is a godsend as I mainly play humbucker equipped Gibsons which tend to distort or clip through most fixed level reverbs. Fantastic pedal by a fantastic company. I have since been in touch with them as they have had their own custom reverb pans made by accutronics to sound more like the old Gibbs pans from the 60s with a shorter decay. They are called the “surfy pan”. I have managed to get one from the surfy industries store (and a surfy bear T-shirt) and replaced my stock accutronics pan in this pedal which has made it even better. I still love the standard pan so will probably buy another surfy bear pedal so I can have both. The fact this company is going the extra mile to improve an already amazing product really impresses me. I am hopelessly addicted to this reverb. I turn it up so much I feel guilty as I know the rest of the guitar community would be disgusted at the sheer amount I slap on but I can’t help it. It’s so beautiful lol :)
