Schu-Tone Whirpool Deluxe - True Spring Reverb Pedal with Analog Tremolo

@Schutone may have created the ultimate, all analog, real spring reverb effects pedal. In this 3-part video is a demo reel, my review, and a real-time playthrough of the Whirlpool Deluxe. In the review I give an overview along with my evaluation of what it has going for it, along with a couple small issues players might have.

I will also be posting a similar run-through video for the Crazy Tube Circuits Unobtanium. The link will appear here when it is ready.

The Whirlpool Deluxe (WPD) is a true spring-reverb pedal with an added tremolo circuit. A full analog signal, in a board-friendly size, to inspire and bring life to you rig. For this demo, and the playthrough, the WPD was placed in the effects loop of the Unobtanium, making full use of the Unobtanium as both driving pedal (Klon style) and preamp (SSS/ODS).
