🎸 Vox AC15 Reverb & Tremolo vs White Whale V2 Pedal | A/B Shootout – Live Tone Demo 🎸

In this video, I pit two real spring reverb and tremolo circuits against each other in a full A/B shootout: the built-in Vox AC15 combo amp vs the modern-yet-vintage-inspired White Whale V2 from Hungry Robot. Both offer analog spring reverb and lush tremolo, but how do they compare in tone, depth, and vibe?

I test both setups live using my Fender Stratocaster, walking through their entire range of settings—from subtle shimmer to full surf splash and pulsating trem depth.

🎧 What You’ll Hear:

Clean Strat tones with both trem and reverb engaged
Subtle ambient textures and deep vintage drips
A/B comparisons with matching levels and tempo
No talking—just playing, so you can hear every nuance
🛠️ Gear Specs Comparison:
