Spring Reverb Type4

Are you in search of an artificial reverberation system? Look no further than a spring reverb, which was invented by Laurens Hammond in the 1940s, also the inventor of the Hammond Organ. In a Spring Reverb pan, the audio signal is coupled to one end of the spring by a transducer. This creates waves that propagate through the spring in both directions, resulting in a natural reverberation by summing several delayed sounds at random or fixed intervals.

Most spring reverb units use several springs together, with each spring having its own characteristics like dimensions, length, tension, etc. However, with real spring reverbs, the user isn't allowed to change these characteristics. Instead, a software simulation like Type4 lets you adjust parameters like "decay" (reverb duration), the dampening factor, the virtual spring tension and other parameters that affect the overall timbre of the reverb effect.

But why choose a spring reverb over a precise and modern digital reverb? Spring reverbs have typical sonic characteristics that, nowadays, make them desirable mostly as effects on their own rather than simulations of an acoustic phenomenon. And Type4 is a perfect addition to your setup, as it simulates a vintage "Type4" spring reverb unit. Try it today to experience the unique sounds of a classic spring reverb.
