That true spring reverb pedal looks interesting, though I'd be concerned potential reliability problems (spring reverb units are kind of infamous for this), and the Harmony Central reviews aren't too impressive. Kinda big for a pedalboard, too, if that's a consideration.
Something you might want to consider is the
BYOC Reverb kit. I built one for myself and use it as my exclusive reverb unit for my Egnater Rebel 20W head. The Belton digital spring reverb emulator module it uses sounds amazingly authentic, and being all solid state, reliability should be a non-issue. You can see some details on my build

Hey DVM, you and I were chatting about how you like that BYOC, and I surfed here a bit and found a year or two ago you really liked the Digitech Digiverb. How do they compare as options for getting a nice spring reverb sound? I also have interest.
