A-199 Spring Reverb Module : Bang for buck spring reverb!

12 years ago

One of the only Eurorack spring reverbs available, this is an excellent addition to anyone's modular synth. Spring reverb is something that is still hard to emulate well with a computer, nothing really sounds like the real thing.

For me it really shines with a VCA (or even better, a filter) in between the feedback output and input. You can get some great Radiophonic Workshop-esque eerie sounds!

My only gripe with it is that personally I think the reverb tank is slightly too small. It's great for sound effects but cannot sound as big as I would like. You can get around this though by using the feedback subtly or by swapping the spring out for a bigger tank! An absolute steal considering how much it costs for a non-Eurorack spring reverb.
