Appreciating everything that a plug-in can do implies, perhaps, an appreciation for the audio revolution that ultimately produced it; step back in time — to 1939 in fact — to absorb some important background information.

What did Laurens Hammond invent?

Laurens Hammond, the American inventor, and engineer best known for his Hammond organ and the Novachord. A spring reverb is a type of guitar amplifier spring reverberation device. The spring reverb was invented in 1954 by Hammond, who wanted to emulate the complex tones produced by his Novachord which used 12 individual springs that were hung from racks on opposite ends of the instrument’s case.

His concept of a mechanical, spring-based hall processor was further refined, making its way into those legendary Hammond organs from 1960 onwards and standalone hardware devices such as the Accutronics Type 4 spring reverb.

Are Precision basses good?

The original Fender Precision Bass, released in the late 1960s, was a huge success. The instrument’s unique sound and appearance quickly became iconic, with many artists including it on recordings and tours. In addition to its distinctive look, the bass guitar has a distinct voice that sets it apart from other instruments. Furthermore, fellow American inventor Leo Fender effectively.

The Fender Super Reverb is a 40-watt combo amplifier that was originally produced in 1963 and 1964 as the first Fender amplifier with onboard reverb, becoming a standard feature on many high-end Fenders during the Sixties and Seventies.

Although it’s true that spring reverb is one of the most popular hardware reverbs in history, unlike hefty plate reverbs that might cost hundreds of dollars and weigh hundreds of pounds each, most spring reverbs are more space- and cost-efficient.

What are spring reverbs good for?

Spring reverbs are often described as “bouncy” or “ringy” due to their mechanical layout, which is low-end heavy. Although the audio spectrum was previously balanced using an EQ to provide a natural room sound, many mix engineers used that same low-end boost to give their guitar, voice, or synth tone greater weight.

Many hit recordings, ranging from The Doors to Queens Of The Stone Age, utilize the same sound design technique and renowned qualities of spring.
