SPRINGTIME

Analog studio reverb

What is a Springtime Reverb?

Banana color, bright and bold, just like the sound you're looking for

What it does

Springtime is a 4-channel, fully analog spring reverb, housed in a large chassis because it contains four full-size spring tanks.

Two long-decay tanks. Two short-decay tanks. We use tanks manufactured by Tube Amp Doctor, well known across Europe for supplying premium components for tube amplifiers, stompboxes, stage equipment and recording studios. We use these outstanding components because they deliver what are, in our opinion, some of the best sounding spring tanks available today, proudly made in Germany.

And that is only the beginning. The spring tanks are driven by specially designed send and return amplifier stages. The topology follows the classic principles used in vintage Fender and Marshall amplifiers, where spring tanks were mounted inside guitar combos.

Our goal was to faithfully bring that classic technology into a professional studio environment.

Makes the music sound more expensive, adds depth without losing detail

Everyday use

Try stereo buss send for music tracks to channel 3 and 4 (long springs), mono vocal to channel 1 (short) plus any solo, mono instrument to channel 2 (short). Sometimes even individual instruments can be sent to both kinds of springs in parallel. If you plug it into the insert use 100% Dry and 10% Wet. On sends use 100% Wet, 0% Dry.
