Screwed Circuitz The Tower

Screwed Circuitz The Tower is a 36-inch tall real spring reverb unit with several other built-in effects. Where a typical reverb pedal simulates a spring digitally, The Tower uses an actual spring, and it packages that tank together with other effects in one upright unit. Delicious Audio's Griffin Jennings described it as "a 36″ tall real spring reverb with several other built-in effects!"¹

What it does

The core of The Tower is a real spring reverb, the physical tank design long associated with surf guitar and amp-borne reverb, in which the signal drives a metal spring and the vibrations picked up at the other end become the reverberated sound. Alongside the spring, the unit carries several other built-in effects, and a wet/dry mix control lets the player set how much of the reverberated signal is blended with the dry one¹.

The signal arrangement is mono in and stereo out: a single input feeds the unit, and the effected signal returns on two outputs¹.

Size and form

The Tower is much bigger than a pedal. It is a floor- or room-standing unit rather than something that lands on a pedalboard, which is the most obvious practical difference between it and a conventional spring reverb pedal¹.

History and status

Screwed Circuitz showed The Tower as a new product. At that point it was an upcoming one: Delicious Audio reported it with the note to "Keep a lookout for this unique device coming end of 2022," putting its expected arrival at the end of 2022¹.
