They’re old home hi-fi units; they’re not normal! I am not a fan of digital reverb, so I have a few springs I really like... Spring reverb was a big part of the Winehouse record, and it’s in Mark’s sound as well. I use two or three different springs on a track and even on the vocal. I have an Orban 111B Spring Reverb, which is quite bright. The Pioneers are quite dull and long springs. So I combine the two.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unit has a darker sound that can work wonders in a mix. If you use the left input and right output, you can get a wet-only signal for use as a mix send effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpring reverbs are a great 'secret weapon' to have in the studio arsenal - not just for the 'boingy' effect as used by dub and reggae pioneers such as Lee 'Scratch' Perry, but also for adding that unmistakable classic shimmery vibe to electric guitars. It's a sound that lends itself well to modern production: the perfect treatment for overly-sterile digital delays and reverbs and it can be heard all over today's music. Whether it's cutting-edge dubstep from Rusko, or a top pop mix engineer like Tom Elmhirst (who used vintage spring reverb all over the last Adele album), the sound of springs is everywhere right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTry using a little tape delay before sending to a spring reverb, or use a digital\/plug-in reverb and send the wet output from that to the spring to add character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soundgas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64946840764793,"sku":"23098","price":650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/7796\/8739\/files\/Pioneer_SR-101_23098.png?v=1792493807","url":"https:\/\/soundgas.com\/products\/pioneer-sr-101-vintage-spring-reverb-23098","provider":"Soundgas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
