Incoming ACMEVERB!!!!

Well besides delay, reverb is my second favorite effect (maybe tied or close to fuzz)....

I came across a chance to own this and couldn't pass it up.

Some info from the current owner:
"The blue unit is an ACMEverb built by Jesse Quitslund.

He's also a genius when it comes to gear and builds pretty exclusive gear for famous bands including some killer amps. He doesn't advertise, so he has remained a little golden nugget for us common folk. The ACMEverb is just the best verb I've ever owned. It is a tube driven with PTP NOS parts. He uses a NOS "FB" style reverb pan to achieve a deep verb that isn't "boingy". You can also overdrive the piss out of it as he uses a 1484 pre-amp. Very cool and unique verb that has huge bottom-end on tap. Jessie is a verb fanatic and the ACMEverb is his love child."

Okay finally got to play from both the Heretic and musket for comparison. The Heretic might be based on a muff? I'm not to knowledgeable in standard fuzzes to know, I'm leaning towards the "probably not" camp. If I Fuck with the settings I can sometimes roughly match the musket to the Philly Heretic, but the heretic has a super grainy gravelly tone with a hint of octave up. It's quite versatile for three knobs. I'll do some Instagram demos tomorrow. :snax: maybe a fuzz face... OTL I need to become more acquainted with the classics.

The Super Spring Theory (the last of my Black Friday spree) will be drop shipped from Subdecay on Wednesday. Geeked, as I don't really have a source of spring that I'm crazy about.
