AZOR AP311 Spring Reverb Guitar Effect Pedal with True Bypass Aluminium alloy case

I've been looking for a way to add reverb to the little 5 watt Monoprice tube amp my wife got me as a gift, and this AZOR AP311 Spring Reverb pedal delivers a lot of bang for the buck. You can get everything from a slightly fuller tone, all the way up to the bouncy sproink that is perfect for playing surf guitar tunes. Also great for rockabilly slapback and soaring blues leads. The pedal itself is built solidly out of aluminum and steel and the switch clicks on and off nicely. There is also a light to let you know when the pedal is activated. You do need to purchase a power adapter for this pedal, but you'll never have to worry about running out of battery life or corrosion destroying your favorite effect. Engaging the reverb pedal does add a slight boost to volume and brightens up your tone a bit. When off, this pedal does indeed do a true bypass. Also included in the box were a stick-on sheet of velcro and a rubber one to keep your pedal where you want, whether it's in a pedalboard or on top of your amp. I'm very impressed with this brand and think you will be too!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This is a good sounding spring reverb pedal for the price. It sounds best set to lower levels, in my opinion or can get a bit bright, but is clean with no unpleasant noise, well built and compact. I'd like to give it 5 stars, but it isn't my favorite pedal, maybe because of color and shape, and tiny dials, but it does the trick and is a good bargain.

Absolutely fantastic. I've been playing guitar for about 19 years, I'm now contracted professionally and I'm using these pedals... Not by choice initially... So I came to the states to begin playing under my contract, however I come from the UK, and so had absolutely nothing with me kit wise and then a gig was offered to me sooner than anticipated, sooner than I'd had chance to get the proper kit I wanted, so I had to budget and buy fast, having JUST arrived in Texas four days before the gig. I found these pedals and the reviews were promising, I watched some YouTube videos and thought well, I'll try them, if they're no good I'll use them for the one gig then upgrade... I do not need to now go out and spend $100+ per pedal... These are actually perfect! I had planned on keeping them as cheap back ups or selling them on and upgrading but I really don't see why... And what's cool is other musicians are fascinated by them, no one recognises them and when they hear it they're so surprised too at the amazing quality Yes they're a little smaller than say, a behringer or boss pedal, but the casing is metal and it's sound is amazing, I've also got the azor chorus and delay, and all are absolutely amazing. I added a noise gate for my distortion and overdrive, a tuner pedal too and my vol/wah pedal and my set up is now great. How long they'll last.,I don't know, but for the price... It's so good!

Authentic spring reverb sound, and I was crazy-go-nuts impressed when I first plugged in, but after a while, I noticed that the pedal can suck both low end and overall volume when engaged, even with the mix knob set very low. There are plenty of controls to tweak the spring sound, it fits nicely on the board, and like all AZOR mini pedals, it's very well made. Even comes with both rubber and velcro pre-cut to match the shape of the pedal. I like AZOR a lot, and have the analog chorus and tremolo, both of which I'm keeping. But the tone suck on this was just too much for me. That's always the problem with less expensive mod and reverb/delay pedals.

There's a ton of these inexpesive reverb pedals floating around and I've got a few. As far as a spring reverb is concerned, this one is okay, but not my first choice for reverb. Thing about this pedal, though, is it does something to your tone that I can't quite put my finger on, and, at least with my rig, sounds spectacular in certain applications. It's some kind of frequency sculpting that the circuit does, and I don't think it's intentional. In fact, as a reverb, this thing is anything but transparent, it has a very pronounced effect on your tone. Technical details for those interested: I'm playing PAF style humbuckers through an Orange 30w tube amp, cranked for breakup, and very little else in my signal path. This is a two knob spring reverb pedal (mix and dwell) and when you engage it, regardless of the settings, you get a slight boost in volume and a slight change in tone that gives it a rounder, chimier sound. On a semi-hollow ES135 with switch set at center it sounds incredible to my ears. Your mileage may vary, maybe this is specific to my rig, or even my ears, but for less than thirty bucks, it's worth a shot.

A little digital sounding when played alone, but sounds great in the mix when playing with band. Great reverb unit for the money.

This pedal was obviously faulty when I hooked it up. The LED lit up, and I was ready to enjoy this highly praised, affordable, mini-pedal. The left knob (mix) was intact. The right knob (dwell), however, was loose and had zero correspondence with the "mix" knob. I even switched it around with my entire pedal chain before plugging it in, direct. No difference. By my headline, I mean to stress that while it is common for one to add a pedal to their chain, and it not immediately meet expectations, it is also just as common for one to nonchalantly dismiss a pedal as inferior or damaged if all factors (Guitar, patch/line cables, amplifier, required power supply limit for pedals, E.g.), are not considered in the process. Had I kept it, I might have gradually gotten used to just the "hall/room" effect, but I bought it for that spring.. Still, it's the most affordable reverb pedal out there....even if I didn't get to experience its full "effect." Returned for a full refund. If I get one that works, I'll post another review.

It is what it is. I wasn't spending a lot, so I didn't expect more than basic effects. It does OK, but not ready for touring. Good little starter.

Yo lo compre para tocar surf y cumple. Ya no tocó en escenarios, nadamas en mi casa y me funciona muy bien. Para eso esta perfecto, para algo mas enserio, hay mejores.

Spring Reverb: Was a little hesitant but...good build quality! Adds no noise I can detect (first in my signal chain). Adjustment range is all I need for my living room amp. This is exactly what I had hoped for. I will be looking at their other pedals as well now...hope they make a compressor. Green Overdrive: Sounds great...very similar to the MUCH more expensive Soul Food pedal, just not as much volume boost...easily remedied so a great deal on a great sounding pedal.

I generally don't use reverb through my guitar amp, I prefer delays, but it is always good to have a verb on hand. At $30, this pedal was a no-brainer. Sounds good enough for the few times that I do use it. Compact and cheap, just like me!

You can feel the dripping velvet curtain. It's a bit of a dark reverb. But definitely a spring reverb. Very nice if you want a big lush layer of reverb that hangs around a bit. Gets thick and delicious quickly.

I purchased this because I am interested in surf music and as I am new to guitar but an old geezer I wanted something to give me that reverb sound as my amp does not have that built in. This works nicely, and what a difference it makes to the sound coming out of the amp! I am very pleased with it. It does everything I want it to do.
