I am just trying out Twangström, and 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!!

Sure can! The preset "RCH Dawn Patrol" might be a good place to start.
Notice how "Envelope" is set to modulate "Rev: Shake" (which is the circle image upon the springs inside the spring-model window).
You could achieve "the drip" by other means, but this is a sure way.

one thing to note is that MOST spring reverb units had a pretty steep post-pickup emphasis on higher frequencies to counteract the fact that high frequency noises get soaked up by the spring.

if you want to make it sound more like the spring reverb units you get I would use the plugin as a send effect, switch "bright" mode on (this doubles the bandwidth of the simulation. more cpu but clearer sound), set "mix" to 100% and, after twangström, put a really strong tilt filter emphasizing the high frequencies

Thanks to both of you! Will try.
