Third Man Hardware and Anasounds have joined forces to create La Grotte, a premium spring reverb pedal that will delight guitarists and bassists alike. This collaboration, inspired by Jack White’s lifelong quest for the perfect spring reverb, delivers an exceptional audio experience.
A Unique Design with Three Springs
La Grotte boasts a unique design featuring three mechanical springs. It offers a long, lush decay reminiscent of vintage spring reverb units. This innovative approach allows for a more compact pedal while maintaining exceptional sound quality.
Versatile and Powerful
Equipped with a preamp inspired by Tampco’s Tone Oven, La Grotte provides ample headroom and two-band EQ for precise tone shaping. Independent volume controls for the wet and dry signals offer even more versatility, making it suitable for various musical styles.
Jack White’s Seal of Approval
Jack White has praised La Grotte, stating, “It’s been a lifetime of searching for a small spring reverb effect unit that could be used as a stompbox onstage or in the studio.” Adding the third spring was crucial in achieving the desired sound and compact size.
A Labor of Love
Creating La Grotte was a meticulous process, requiring over 400 hours of development and 9,500 hours of production. This was not an easy effect pedal to create. With more than 200 components, each pedal shows the craftsmanship and dedication of the team behind it.
This spring reverb will work with synths as well as guitars and basses.
A Must-Have for Reverb Enthusiasts
La Grotte is not just for applying ambient drip to blazing White Stripes fuzz riffs. It’s perfect for soul, post-rock, reggae, blues, pop, and surf rock. La Grotte is a must-have if you’re a spring reverb enthusiast seeking a genuinely exceptional pedal.
