ing the Tension parameter
will change the sound of the
strings from slow and smooth
(left) to quick and harsh
(right). The idea behind this
parameter is that you are
able to get the sounds from
many different reverb tanks
by just changing the tension
and the number of springs. A
cheap guitar reverb tank will
usually have a high tension
and two springs, while a more
expensive reverb tank might
have three springs and a lower
tension.
Bass and Treble
Controls equalization of the
wet signal. In general you
would need to lower the
Treble if you use the reverb on
percussive sounds, while too
much Bass will make the re-
verb sound very dark and take
up a lot of energy in the mix.
Tweaking Tips
There are a couple rules of thumb to achieving the
sound you desire with Spring Reverb.
Mix
Mix is without doubt the setting that will have the
biggest impact on the overall sound you achieve and
probably the one that is hardest to master.
First of all, when used as an insert effect, the Mix
knob will typically be set between 0 and 20%. It is
easy to drench your recording with a reverb that is
as characteristic as Spring Reverb.
Shake
BOOOM! Since we don’t want
you to smack your computer to
get that thunderous springs -
being- shaken sound, Spring
Reverb features a slider that
can be used to accomplish
the same thing safely. Fully
automatable of course.
Be aware that when the slider
is moved to a position other
than halfway between far left
and right, the reverb will go
“spoing”, so storing presets
with this knob set to some-
thing other than in the middle,
it will produce a (perhaps
unwanted) noise when the
preset is loaded. For this and
other reasons, when the slider
is adjusted in the GUI it will
spring (ha!) back to the mid-
dle when the mouse button is
released. This does not work
when the parameter is being
controlled by a MIDI surface
or other controller.
The Bass and Treble controls
do not affect the sound of the
shake effect, since they are
applied before the signal goes
into the reverb tank.
For the most violent shake effect: set Tension to the
left and Springs on three before you use the Shake
parameter.
Tension
Tunes up or down the tension
off all three springs. Adjust-
