Unique Spring reverb offering 3 band EQ, input gain stage, and gating

Great reverb for getting those classic spring reverb tones on drums, synths or guitars. The spring are very bright, but luckily the front panel offers a 3 band EQ for adjusting the tone of the wet signal. Gating is great for getting massive snare hits, input stage distorts nicely and can cause massive shaking of the spring tank.
