Surfy Industries SurfyBear Classic V3.0 Reverb Pedal - Blonde

The SurfyBear Classic V3.0 is a top-tier analog reverb unit built for players chasing the lush, dripping spring tones of early-60s outboard tanks. Powered by meticulously voiced JFET circuitry and the updated SurfyPan EXTRA spring reverb pan, it captures the warmth, bounce and dynamic response of those original circuits—without the fragility, expense or bulk of tube-driven vintage gear. From subtle shimmer to full surf splash, the SurfyBear delivers a tactile, interactive experience, allowing players to shape their sound in real time while preserving the natural harmonic richness of their instrument. Housed in a handsome Tolex-wrapped wooden enclosure that looks as classic as its sound, the V3.0 delivers the true spring reverb experience—perfectly tuned for the modern player.

Authentic ’60s Spring Reverb With the Custom SurfyPan EXTRA

At the heart of the V3.0 is the new SurfyPan EXTRA, an updated type-4 spring reverb pan developed in collaboration with Accutronics specifically for this model. This exclusive design provides a lively, articulate decay, enhanced drip and improved stability compared to traditional spring units—maintaining the character and musicality of classic tanks while refining their consistency. Paired with Surfy’s meticulously tuned JFET transistor circuitry, the SurfyBear recreates the warmth, dynamic touch-sensitivity and harmonic complexity of its vintage inspirations without relying on tubes or digital trickery.

Interactive Controls for Expressive Tone Shaping

The SurfyBear’s intuitive controls put the player in full command of the reverb. Three knobs—Tone, Mixer and Dwell—allow for a wide range of sonic possibilities, from lightly colored ambience to deep, cavernous decay. An optional external footswitch connection and dual mixer capability via the SurfyDrip Switch expand versatility for live performance or studio setups. And by design, the pedal is non-true bypass, letting its slight, vintage-inspired coloration enrich your signal even when the effect is dialed back, adding authentic analog character to every note.

Rugged, Travel-Ready Construction

Built to withstand the rigors of the road or studio, the SurfyBear features a wooden enclosure covered in classic Tolex and reinforced with sturdy metal sides. A steel bottom plate shields against noise and interference, ensuring reliable operation in any environment. Available in three classic colors—blonde, brown and black—the pedal is as visually striking as it is sonically versatile. Power is supplied via a standard 12V adapter, compatible with any polarity, and the compact footprint makes it easy to integrate into any pedalboard setup.
