What it does
Springs is a spring reverb plugin with a collection of vintage units and a Baxandall-style EQ.

- EQ: a three-band Baxandall EQ (bass, mid with Q, treble).
- Shaping: an impulse response editor for the decay, a bandwidth control on the input, and reverb length and dry/wet mix.
- It ships with 80 presets and a randomizer, and has a resizable interface.

When to use it
Springs is a dedicated spring reverb, so it is a better fit than the general-purpose reverbs in the rated list (VintageVerb, Pro-R 2, Room) when you want the boingy, splashy character of a spring tank. The wide choice of tanks and the editable decay let you match anything from a subtle guitar amp spring to a drippy dub one.
- Genres: surf, rock, dub, reggae, soul and lo-fi; also good on guitars, keys and snares.
