Get the “unmistakable vibe of classic spring reverb” with Solid State Logic’s new SpringVerb plugin

Solid State Logic has expanded its SSL ‘Verb’ collection with the new SpringVerb, offering producers the “unmistakable vibe of classic spring reverb”.

SpringVerb joins two other reverb plugins in the ‘Verb’ collection – PlateVerb and GateVerb – completing a comprehensive lineup of reverbs for producers.

As SSL explains, Spring reverbs have a tendency to emphasise the mid and high frequencies of a mix – areas that can become busy very quickly. But SpringVerb offers “precise control” over these areas, with dedicated controls to tame problem frequencies before they build up.

SpringVerb features three spring models – a famous “space-age echo”, classic rackmount spring tank and an emulation of the spring reverb used by the likes of dub legends King Tubby and Lee Perry.

At the heart of the plugin is an interactive Spring Tank, with a Tension control, as well as a Strength knob and a Boing button for chaotic reverb bursts. There’s also a Width knob, which can be turned fully counter-clockwise for a vintage-style mono reverb, and fully clockwise for a stereo image even beyond 100%.

There’s also controls including pre-delay – perfect for utilising a rhythmic slap back effect when locking into a global tempo – as well as a Drive section for adding saturation to an input signal, and damping knobs for tuning specific frequencies of a reverb tail.

SpringVerb is part of SSL’s Complete Access Bundle subscription, which also features a wealth of Harrison Audio and Slate Digital plugins – as well as Academy tutorials, samples and producer presets –  for $19.99 per month.

Alternatively, SpringVerb is available perpetually from the SSL eStore for an introductory price of £21. A 14-day free trial to SSL’s Complete Access Bundle is also available.
