The Tone City Tiny Spring v2025 Spring Reverb is a compact spring reverb pedal built around a single knob. Tone City describes it as giving realistic spring reverb sounds with its signature warmth, and the v2025 version carries an upgraded circuit intended to bring the tone closer to a real spring tank1.
What changed in the v2025 circuit
The v2025 is the latest version of the Tiny Spring. In this version, Tone City upgraded the circuit and adjusted the components, and the tone has been improved to get much closer to a real spring reverb1. That puts it in line with the wider v2025 refresh across Tone City's range: the Heavenly Lake v2025 Delay Reverb received the same treatment, with its circuit, components and reverb path upgraded to be closer to a real spring reverb2.

Controls and how it sits on a board
The Tiny Spring keeps things minimal: one knob covers the whole reverb range1.
- Single knob: Pedal of the Day notes that with just one lone knob, you can go from traditional to the outer space with ease, covering everything from conventional spring tones to more extreme reverberated sounds1.
Because there is only one control, dialing in a sound is quick. The review found it easy to dial in a great sound quickly, along with a nice, big range of reverberated tones1.
On the question of analog versus digital, Pedal of the Day calls the Tiny Spring absolutely an ultimate combination of the analog and digital, so it is neither a purely analog nor a purely digital design1.
The pedal is also designed to coexist with drive pedals. According to the review, it will not influence the features of the original sound when used together with distortion and overdrive pedals, which matters if you run reverb alongside overdrive or distortion pedals on your board1.

Questions
Is the Tone City Tiny Spring analog or digital?
Pedal of the Day describes the Tiny Spring as an ultimate combination of the analogue and digital, meaning the circuit draws on both approaches rather than being purely one or the other. The result, in the reviewer's words, is realistic spring reverb sounds with the pedal's signature warmth.
How many knobs does the Tiny Spring have?
Just one. Pedal of the Day notes that with a single knob you can go from traditional spring sounds to what the review calls the outer space with ease, which makes it a quick dial-in pedal rather than one with separate blend, tone and decay controls.
Does the Tiny Spring work with distortion and overdrive pedals?
Yes. According to Pedal of the Day, the pedal will not influence the features of the original sound when used together with distortion and overdrive pedals, so it is meant to sit alongside drive pedals without coloring what they do.
What color is the Tone City Tiny Spring?
The Tiny Spring v2025 comes in a yellow enclosure. Pedal of the Day's review points readers to its demo video to see the yellow pedal in action.
