Frequently Asked Questions

It captures the core sonic character, but lacks the physical complexity; expect a more focused, controllable 'spring' sound.
Not really; spring reverbs are naturally short and dense. It excels at adding subtle character rather than spaciousness.
It's designed for simple control; no CV inputs exist for modulating the reverb parameters directly.
