A "tiny reverb spring" will sound like shit. Why not build a real reverb
unit with long springs in a Bud chassis box?

If you decide to stick with the stompbox thing, you're gonna need to devise
some electromechanical damping to stop the "crashing" of the springs from a
stompswitch clank. Maybe a small solenoid w/foam pad placed *just so*...on a
time delay release.
