SSL Launches SpringVerb: Versatile Algorithmic Reverb

Posted on by

Solid State Logic (SSL) has officially launched SpringVerb, an innovative algorithmic reverb plugin crafted to replicate the unique characteristics of traditional spring reverb hardware. This latest addition to the SSL ‘Verb’ collection enhances the reverb landscape, following the previous releases of PlateVerb and GateVerb.

SpringVerb stands out by offering users a comprehensive suite of controls that far exceed what is typically found in conventional hardware spring units. As a result, the plugin allows for the shaping of the classic metallic and bouncy texture of spring reverb, making it suitable for modern production contexts. The flexibility of SpringVerb makes it ideal for a diverse range of audio sources, including drums, guitars, synths, and vocals.

Key Features of SpringVerb

  • Three Switchable Spring Types:
    • Type A: Emulates a spring tank from a well-known tape delay unit.
    • Type B: Modeled after a classic rack-mount spring reverb unit.
    • Type C: A tank selected for its connection to Dub and Reggae productions.
  • Interactive Spring Tank: Smoothly adjust between single-, double-, and triple-spring configurations to influence reverb decay.
  • Boing Button: A momentary trigger that excites the springs, ideal for sound design applications.
  • Spring Tension Control: Adjusts the tension of the springs, impacting sound propagation speed and perceived echo bounce.
  • Modern DAW Integration: Features tempo-sync pre-delay, damping controls, and internal drive control for saturation.
  • Deeper Utilities: Includes freeze functionality for infinite reverb tails and ducking control, triggered by an external sidechain signal.
  • Stereo Width: Collapse the stereo image to mono for authentic vintage sounds or expand it beyond 100%.
