This stark design uses a pair of input and output transducers to inject an instrument’s dry signal into an actual set of spring coils and capture the very distinct reverberations as the sound bounces back and forth within the springs. Of course, Leo Fender adopted this design in the 1960s with the some of his \"blackface\" amplifiers and a revolution was born.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort Spring Reverb\u003c\/strong\u003e: Modeled after the unmistakable twang of \"blackface\" amplifiers of the 1960s. After extensive research we found tremendous diversity in the spring reverb sounds of a variety of amps. Some offered a tighter, less animated tone while others sounded “drippier,” with longer sustain and livelier reverb trails. The \u003cstrong\u003eSHORT\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring reverb engine offers a taut sound with a quick decay and smooth trails.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong Spring Reverb\u003c\/strong\u003e: Produces long and deep reverb decays with noticeable “drip” and highly animated trails.

The sound of reverb tanks like the classic Fender 6G15™ are characterized by their “drippy” attack and animated trail. This original two-spring design produces a bouncing, delay like sound inseparable from the early days of surf rock and spaghetti western soundtracks. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"wsite-content-title\"\u003eThe Tremolos\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"paragraph\"\u003eThe True Spring Reverb also allows you to combine any of its iconic spring reverbs with any of the pedal's three tremolo effects.

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. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarmonic Tremolo:\u003c\/strong\u003e This unique effect first appeared in Fender™  “brownface” amps made between 1959 and 1963, which alternately modulated the levels of bass and treble frequencies in the audio signal. The result is a very pleasing and complex tremolo that has characteristics reminiscent of a phaser.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBias Tremolo:\u003c\/strong\u003e This approach to tremolo involves using an LFO to modulate the bias voltage of the tubes in an amplifier. This essentially pushes the tubes in and out of saturation.
