I have gone through different companies over the past decade for reeds. Rico, Vandoren, Michele Lurie were my major brands that I have tried. My experience with Gonzalez F.O.F 3.5 Bb clarinet reeds is nothing short of spectacular. When you open a box of these reeds, you are going to get an almost full box of high quality "concert ready" reeds as they claim. They are not exaggerating. One point to test, take a Vandoren, or whatever you were playing, and a Gonzalez reed over a light, and compare the grain. The consistency of Gonzalez reeds material-wise is exceptional. The grain is perfectly even, with little to no bark. These reeds will not squeak easily, so they are dependable reeds. The sound is so full too, because of the butt of the reeds. Take a Michele Lurie, Vanoren, and Gonzalez reed, and compare butts. The Gonzalez gives you that thick dark "German" sound, with the articulation of "French" reeds. I am most satisfied with them, and would not dare to change reed companies.
I used to use vandoren's V12 #4( I still use them sometimes), and I have to admit that they give a nice dark sound and the altissimo notes are so clean with a non piercing sound, but Gonzalez reeds give the chamaleu range a really nice mellow sound in compared to V12. However, the higher range is brighter, especially the altissimo range.
I've used Gonzalez personally for several years and I have yet to get an unplayable reed. With Gonzalez, you get great, easy tone in all registers no matter what style of music you're playing. I recommend Gonzalez reeds to all of my reed players because they come in 1/4 strength increments and it makes it much easier for a student player to transition from one reed size to another. Specifically, the jump from 3 to 3.5 or 3.5 to 4 for student players can feel like you're playing on a 2x4. The 3.25 and 3.75 strengths are perfect for conditioning embouchures into accepting a harder reed. If a student plays on a 4 in concert band, then the 3.75 is a great, softer, easier strength for marching band.
I have tried many reeds before, including Mitchell Lurie, Rico, Rico Royal, and Vandoren, but none came close to the performance and consistency of Gonzalez reeds. The reeds have a dark, rich tone, and I find that high notes, starting with two above the staff, are easier to play than some other reeds, but with better quality. The reeds are very consistent, 80% of the reeds in the box are performance quality, whereas some other brands only have 10 to 30%.
I agree that this reed produce a nice dark rich tone, but however I think the response is a bit slower than other reeds that I have used. Furthermore it works well on only some of my mouthpieces. It is not as free-blowing as the other reeds. I would use this reed for certain orchestra pieces only.
