Can Axiom/Destructor/Late Replies do surf guitar "drip"?

I wonder if somebody can give me tips to get this "boing" sound of surf guitar reverb.
It is most noticeable in this video, especially when playing with the Fender Reverb unit.

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated!!

There are a couple of "springy verb" presets in Late Replies (and a couple of better simulations in the latest released - to be included in Axiom soon) that you can use as a basis for spring-type reverbs.
The key to get a realistic sound is to use the spring reverb BEFORE the cabinet simulation (so you can place it before the amp, or even better between the amp and the cabinet simulation if you use a separate instance for the cab sim). Because the sound of the spring reverb from a guitar amplifier is heard thru the cabinet, which filters the echoes quite a bit!

Thanks, I will try this later. Further, the early players had the reverb BEFORE the amp even, since it was a separate unit. (I am thinking of the Fender Reverb.) What I am finding difficult is to replicate that strange "boing" (the "drip") right when you play the note (exemplified in the video I linked above). A sound that most would find quite horrible and only belongs with these late 50's early 60's guitars. I guess that because it is of so limited use, most modellers don't work on getting it. I just became obsessed with getting it. And then I will probably only use it once.

The drip is caused by the springs of the reverb. With Late Replies, it can be replicated using phase shifters in the feedback loop and in the early reflections. There are a couple of presets in the latest version that exactly do that. The "boing" is amplified by the amp and cabinet response if you use the spring reverb before the amp.pumafred wrote: ↑Wed Jul 10, 2019 4:15 pm Thanks, I will try this later.

This is really interesting. I'm learning things.Blue Cat Audio wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 7:58 am The drip is caused by the springs of the reverb.
