Eventide Spring Reverb: Vintage Sound, Modern Control
Eventide Spring Reverb captures the iconic sound and character of classic spring reverbs that were popularized in Surf, Garage, and Rockabilly music. This plugin goes beyond mere emulation by offering control over physical parameters that are typically unavailable in real spring tanks. It provides a range of sounds, from faithful recreations of vintage springs to unique and boundary-pushing reverbs.
The Vintage Sound, Revamped Originally derived from the reflections of sound waves traveling through springs, the vintage reverb sound has been given a 21st-century overhaul. Eventide Spring features two different-sized "spring tanks" and the ability to morph between one and three springs seamlessly. The Ribbon controller allows you to dynamically transition between any two settings in real-time. Additionally, the plugin offers tube-amp-style tremolo that can be placed before or after the spring, giving you unprecedented control over your reverb sound. Adjust the tremolo depth and rate, whether in Hz or tempo-synced to your project, to fine-tune the intensity.
Take Control of Your Tone Spring provides independent control over the damping frequency for both the low and high ends of the reverb spectrum. Manipulating these parameters allows you to shape the character of the reverb decay and add more ring to your spring sound. You can also adjust the amount of metallic resonance in the high damping frequency, further enhancing the unique qualities of the reverb. While guitarists have long appreciated the surfer vibe of spring reverbs, creative musicians of all genres will find that Spring adds character and distinction to synthesizers, drums, vocals, and more within a mix.
