Quick Start Spring Reverb

The Spring Reverb effect is inspired by the iconic Fender reverb tank from 1963, known for its lack of low frequencies and haunting, cave-like quality. To authentically recreate the effect, a new "Dripstone" parameter has been added to control the intensity of this sound. The Spring Reverb also features additional parameters to control aspects like decay time, spring size, and spectral balance.

Release Notes

Spring Reverb Preview


The Spring Reverb is inspired by the most sought-after spring reverb for guitarists: the Fender (TM) Reverb Tank
from 1963. There are two prominent characteristics that define this legendary reverb sound: one is the lack of low
frequencies - this was due to a steep lowcut filter used in the original design to avoid acoustic feedback between the
speaker and the reverb tank, that were both housed in the same combo amplifier. The other is the haunting sound
quality that resembles water dripping in a cave. We have gone to great lengths to faithfully recreate this effect, for
which we have provided a dedicated intensity parameter called “Dripstone”.
Vintage combo amps do not feature a preamp distortion, meaning that the power amp needs to be clipped to
achieve a gritty sound. Due to the placement of the reverb tank before the power amp, its output will be distorted
along with the dry guitar. To authentically recreate this effect in the Profiler, you should place the Spring Reverb
before the Amplifier. However, if you place the Spring Reverb after the Amplifier, you can then enjoy it in stereo.

☞ Please find the effect type "Spring Reverb" at the end of the list of effect types - turn the TYPE knob in any
of the Modules between A and DLY. Spring Reverb is not available in the REV Module yet!

☞ We suggest you start with the new preset “REV Spring Fan” - turn the BROWSE knob to select it, and then
play with the parameters.

Here is a description of the new parameters introduced with Spring Reverb:

 Decay Time

Determines how fast the reverb decays. In a way, the Decay Time sets the size of the room, as small rooms decay
more quickly, and large rooms more slowly.
Decay Time is analogous to the Feedback parameter of the delay effects. It is measured in seconds (s) and reflects
the time the reverb will take to decay by 60dB - well below the hearing threshold.

 Dripstone

Controls the intensity of the “Dripstone” sound.

 Spring Size

Varies the size of the springs and, consequently, the density of the “Dripstone” sound.

 High Damp

Controls the high frequency degradation over time. The further you turn to the left, the more high frequency content
is lost as the reverb decays.

 Low Damp

Controls the low frequency degradation over time. The further you turn to the right, the more low frequency content
is lost as the reverb decays

 Spectral Balance

The Spring Reverb is originally processed by a strong lowcut filter. By moving Spectral Balance away from the
(default) middle setting you can balance the sound of the wet reverb signal more towards low or high frequencies.
