Spring Time plugin

Hear the Difference

Compare the original signal with Spring Time applied.

Press play, then switch between Original and Spring Time.

Dirty in All the Right Ways

A spring reverb brings character, texture, and movement that no other reverb quite has.

It also brings the usual problems: low-frequency hum, muddy low mids, and harsh, excessive splashing in the top end. Spring Time has already taken care of them. You get the character of a spring without the unwanted artifacts.

A tube preamp saturation stage gives the reverb a distinct tube character. A short fixed pre-delay keeps the original attack clear and prevents the reverb from swallowing transients.

See How Spring Time Works

Start with a classic mono spring, then open Width and take that character into stereo.

Add tempo-synced autopan for another layer of motion, and let the built-in compressor react to the dry signal — sidechain-style movement without any additional routing.

Nothing to set up. Just dial it in and mix.

The Spring Sound, Without the Cleanup

Everything that usually stands between a spring reverb and a finished mix is already handled inside Spring Time.

Two Springs, Mono to Stereo

Two springs inside let Spring Time work in both mono and stereo. Everything is controlled with a single Width knob, from a focused mono spring to a wide stereo space.

Tube Preamp Saturation

A tube preamp saturation stage gives the reverb a distinct tube character, while a short fixed pre-delay keeps the original attack clear and stops the reverb from swallowing transients.

Movement Built In

The built-in compressor reacts directly to the dry signal, creating sidechain-style movement without any additional routing. Tempo-synced autopan adds another layer of width and motion.

Artifacts Already Removed

Low-frequency hum, muddy low mids, and harsh, excessive splashing in the top end have already been taken care of. You get the character, texture, and movement of a spring without the unwanted side effects.

Far Beyond Guitars

Put Spring Time on vocals, drums, synths, keys, or anything that needs a strong sense of character and space. Use the main control to blend in the amount of spring you want.

Turn Width from a focused mono spring to a wide stereo space. Set SC Comp for sidechain-style movement, and use Pan Rate and Pan Depth for tempo-synced autopan.

It turns the classic spring sound into a versatile mixing tool.
