I am working on a tune that needs surf guitar. The CAPS AMP IV does a great Fender Twin,
and the #4 cabinet in CAPS Cabinet II seems to do pretty well as a 2x12 open-back Fender
cab. But the classic surf guitar sound of course includes the high-pitched plinking of a
Fender Twin reverb spring slapping against its metal case. If you haven't heard it,
it's kind of like entering the V'Ger central core, but really high-pitched and
fast, and in 16th notes while double-picking.
I would also support the convolution idea, it should give you that
feeling, but would be happy to learn about a physical modelling solution
with or without csound.
It sounded like V'Ger because that amazing sound was made with the Craig
Huxleys Blaster Beam:

Anyway, there are some standalone spring reverbs out, I got one in 19'
rack format for cheap second hand.
Cheers,
Malte
