SpringVerb is an algorithmic reverb plugin that recreates the physical interactions of a spring reverb. This kind of reverb is very peculiar since it’s obtained through electro-mechanic stimulation of springs at different tension, this movement is then converted back into electrical signal by some pickup. The spring reverb was born together with plate reverb as a mean to create artificial reverberation in the 30s and was made popular by Hammond organs which adopted this kind of reverberation due to its small size. This factor also lead to the adoption of spring reverbs from many guitar amplifier manufacturer and since then the sound of this kind of reverb has been part of recording history.
