Universal Bypass - Select Active Analog (Buffered) or True Bypass.The pedal’s stereo inputs and outputs offer a variety of routing options such as Stereo to Stereo, Mono to Mono, Mono-to-Stereo, Stereo Sum-to-Mono and External Loop Mode. Flexible Stereo Routing – The True Spring is equally at home in a mono or stereo rig.Two Modes of Operation – Use the pedal in Standard Mode for a classic (non-preset) stompbox experience or turn on Preset Mode and save a user preset (including reverb/tremolo effects and knob positions) to each of the three toggle switch positions.Three Distinct Spring Reverb and Tremolo Effects.The result is a smooth amplitude modulation with a mild overdrive created by the tube saturation. This essentially pushes the tubes in and out of saturation. Bias Tremolo: This approach to tremolo involves using an LFO to modulate the bias voltage of the tubes in an amplifier.The result is a very pleasing and complex tremolo that has characteristics reminiscent of a phaser. Harmonic Tremolo: This unique effect first appeared in Fender™ “brownface” amps made between 19, which alternately modulated the levels of bass and treble frequencies in the audio signal.This version of tremolo relies upon a neon light bulb and a light dependent resistor called an "optocoupler." The non-symmetrical aspects of the light and the optocoupler give the tremolo a distinct choppy character. “Photocell Tremolo”) is the effect found in many combo amps of the 1960s. The True Spring's tremolos are the same organic effects that originally appeared in our Vertigo Tremolo - the winner of Guitar Player’s “Hall of Fame 2015” and Premier Guitar’s “Premier Gear Award.” The True Spring Reverb also allows you to combine any of its iconic spring reverbs with any of the pedal's three tremolo effects. This original two-spring design produces a bouncing, delay like sound inseparable from the early days of surf rock and spaghetti western soundtracks. The sound of reverb tanks like the classic Fender 6G15™ are characterized by their “drippy” attack and animated trail. Tank Spring Reverb (Outboard Spring): Captures the unmistakable effect of the tube driven outboard spring tanks of the 60s.The LONG Spring engine is not as dramatic as the TANK Reverb engine, but does offer an extremely authentic representation of some of the livelier reverb tanks found in vintage combo amps. Long Spring Reverb: Produces long and deep reverb decays with noticeable “drip” and highly animated trails.The SHORT Spring reverb engine offers a taut sound with a quick decay and smooth trails. Some offered a tighter, less animated tone while others sounded “drippier,” with longer sustain and livelier reverb trails. After extensive research we found tremendous diversity in the spring reverb sounds of a variety of amps.
