standard pedal La Grotte Pedal (Standard Edition) – Third Man Records – Official StoreLa Grotte is the new analog spring reverb by Anasounds for Third Man Hardware, designed in close collaboration with Jack White. It is a mechanical reverb with an integrated three spring tank, but there is also a very warm preamp with a strong character, and an ultra effective two band EQ (which only affects the reverb itself). Separate volume controls for direct sound and reverb sound give you access to the ideal mix you've always been looking for.

It is a mechanical reverb with an integrated three-spring tank, but there is also a very warm preamp with a strong character, and an ultra-effective two-band EQ (which only affects the reverb itself). Separate volume controls for direct sound and reverb sound give you access to the ideal mix you've always been looking for. Whatever your sound aesthetic may be, vintage or modern, blues or pop, garage or soul, you'll get that tone with this reverb.

Features 

• La Grotte includes new tonal sounds pulled from the Anasounds element pedal and le bon pedal in one single box. 
• 100% analog and mechanic
• Dry/Wet setting
• 2 band EQ
• includes an embedded preamp based on Tampco’s Tone Oven. 
• High quality spring tanks from Accutronics/Belton in Korea
• A gain control is available inside to crunch even more or even less.
• A -10dB pad is available inside to plug any line input easily
• You can activate or deactivate it internally
• The EQ has a low cut of 700Hz and a high cut of 1.6kHz
• Tons of headroom available.
• The bypass has 2 modes : True bypass or buffered bypass
• You can select them with a toggle switch in side.
• On buffered bypass, when you bypass the pedal, we leave the tails die with elegance.
• On true bypass, when you bypass it, you shut down everything abruptly.
• Input impedance is very high and output impedance is very low which makes the system not sensitive to any other pedals. Then you can plug it anywhere in the signal chain, which is uncommon for such a vintage effect.

Sounds

• Versatile sound for any genre
• Sounds more ambient than a classic spring reverb thanks to the 3 springs
• Includes a fade in / fade out mix technic to avoid any splash from a wild and strong footswitch activation on stage. 
• Plenty of dB from the preamp to crunch either the Dry or the Wet section
• Ability to choose the time of a crossover to kill the splash.
