The Anasounds Element Spring Reverb Premium Bundle is the full-set version of Anasounds' analog spring reverb: the Element pedal plus all three of the company's external spring tanks, Le Bon, La Brute and Le Truand, along with the cable needed to connect them. The bundle is listed at 449,00 €1.
What is in the box
The Premium Bundle is the whole Element system in one purchase. Anasounds lists the contents as1:
- 1 Element pedal
- The 3 tanks: Le Bon, La Brute and Le Truand
- 1 mini jack to RCA cable
- 6 self-drilled screws
Rubber feet are also provided with each tank in order to secure it3. The listed shipping dimensions for the bundle are 60 x 15 x 15 cm1.
The three tanks
The tanks differ by size, and the size is what changes the tone. Guitar Pedal X lays them out "from the smallest 'Le Bon', then mid-size 'La Brute', and on to the largest 'Le Truand'"6. Pedal of the Day's review notes that with "three actual reverb tanks of varying sizes, which produce varying tones to explore," the setup gives a player several distinct spring characters from one pedal2.
| Tank | Size | Single-tank bundle price (Aug 2024) |
|---|---|---|
| Le Bon | smallest | EUR 299 / $3296 |
| La Brute | mid-size | EUR 319 / $3496 |
| Le Truand | largest | EUR 399 / $4496 |
Anasounds makes a tank switcher for moving between the tanks.
What it is and how it works
The Element is an analog spring reverb pedal: the signal physically travels through the springs in the external tank and comes back with the reverb on it, in the manner of a vintage combo's built-in tank. Anasounds says the pedal "takes back the very essence of the analogue reverb"3, and JHS Pedals describes it plainly: "The Anasounds Element Spring Reverb is an analog reverb"4.
Because the tanks are external, the pedal and tank connect by the included mini jack to RCA cable1. That is what makes the multi-tank idea possible: the same pedal can feed the small Le Bon for a tight spring character or the large Le Truand for something deeper, without changing pedals.
Price and availability
Anasounds lists the Premium Bundle at 449,00 EUR on its product page5. Guitar Pedal X reported in August 2024 that "You can currently get an all 3 spring tanks Element Premium Bundle for EUR 449 / $499"6. When the pedal debuted in February 2019, Guitar.com gave the premium bundle with pedal and three tanks at EUR 290.83, with the pedal and Le Truand bundle at EUR 249.17, pedal and La Brute at EUR 232.50 and pedal and Le Bon at EUR 207.507. Guitar.com's 2024 review of the La Grotte collaboration put the standalone Element Spring Reverb at EUR 349, calling it "the most compact option"8.
As of July 2026, Anasounds lists the Premium Bundle at a price of 449,00 €1.
What reviewers said
Pedal of the Day reviewed the bundle in June 2020 and summed it up: "Easy setup, incredible sounds, real spring reverb anywhere you need it"2. In a Guitar World buying guide, Alex Lynham wrote, "we'd recommend the expensive but superlative Anasounds Element reverb," describing it as a large item as well as a costly one9.
Where it sits in the Anasounds range
Players who want the Element concept in a single enclosure can look at the La Grotte, the later collaboration pedal that Guitar Pedal X described as combining the Le Bon spring tank and the control unit in one box with a third spring added6. The Premium Bundle remains the option for a player who wants all three tank sizes available in one rig, which is exactly what Anasounds says it was designed for1.

Questions
What are the three tanks called in the Element Premium Bundle?
The three tanks are Le Bon, La Brute and Le Truand. Guitar Pedal X describes them by size: Le Bon is the smallest, La Brute is mid-size and Le Truand is the largest. Because the tanks are different sizes, each produces a different spring tone, which is the point of owning all three rather than settling on one.
How much is the Anasounds Element Premium Bundle?
Anasounds lists the Premium Bundle at 449,00 euros on its own product page. Guitar Pedal X reported in August 2024 that the all three tanks Element Premium Bundle was available for 449 euros or $499. The single-tank bundles cost less: Le Bon at 299 euros or $329, La Brute at 319 euros or $349 and Le Truand at 399 euros or $449.
Why use external spring tanks with a pedal?
A real spring reverb needs a physical spring tank to work, and the size of the tank shapes the tone. Putting the tanks outside the pedal lets one pedal drive several tanks of different sizes, so you can pick the spring character that suits a song or a room. Anasounds says the Premium Bundle was designed for people who do not want to choose between tanks, and who want to put spring tanks everywhere in the rig.
What cable comes with the Element bundle?
The bundle includes a mini jack to RCA cable, which connects the Element pedal to the external spring tanks. Six self-drilled screws are also included, and rubber feet come with each tank so it can be secured in place.
