Eventide Audio has released Spring Reverb – a new plug-in as a VST, AU, AAX plugin and as a standalone iOS app with a very tempting introductory offer.
Spring reverbs were very popular cost-effective artificial reverbs often found in guitar amplifiers. Eventide Audio’s Spring has been created to model the sound and character of the popular artificial reverbs. It also goes a step further by allowing access to physical parameter controls not readily available in a real spring tank.
By tweaking these parameters, Spring has been designed to create faithful representations of real springs or push the physical boundaries to achieve new distinctive sounds. The Tension [TNSION] and Num Springs [NUMSPR] controls work in concert to control the amount of "springiness" in the processed sound. Additional adjustable parameters include Resonance and Low and High damping.
The performance controls found in Eventide's Blackhole, UltraTap and MangledVerb plugins are also available in Spring. Ribbon allows users to program two settings for any combination of the controls and seamlessly transition between them while the programmable HotSwitch enables an instantaneous jump to an alternate setting at the push of a button.
Spring also includes Tremolo, a tube amp style tremolo, again found in guitar amplifiers, to further nuance or exaggerate guitar tone with fun and intuitive controls. Tremolo can be inserted pre or post-reverb for an even wider range of tonal options and sound exploration.
