Decided to purchase IGS Springtime based on this video from SXPro and, have to say, it was one of the best decisions ever!! When it comes to the fullness and complexity of the real, physical response of the springs to the signal, I don't think I came across anything better (or even close) in the digital realm. I didn't really like spring reverbs before (in the plugin form) as they would have this weird nasal response, however, this unit makes spring reverb sound almost as beautiful as a plate one! More than happy with my purchase and with SXPro support!
Thank you David - I totally agree with you about how beautiful this sounds, and I have a similar experience with other spring reverbs and plugins, they often have a certain sound that limits how you can use them. THIS, however, as you rightly say, sounds beautifully smooth like a plate reverb and I feel like it's almost like a musical instrument in it's own right! Thank you so much for your kind words too!
I have a feeling that the real Spring Reverb accentuates the emotions, while I can hardly imagine this to happen with plugins. Could it be possible to do another video comparing with digital plugins? Or share the raw stems and your final result. Ofcourse the final sound is a combination of all analog equipment you used
This is a really interesting comment, thank you! We did some interesting shootouts prior to filming this video and it was hard not to favour the springtime against other well known reverbs. In particular, we found that the Bricast M7 performed better than any of the M7 plugins, which sound identical on individual sources but within a mix were obviously superior when using the hardware. It's possibly a video we'll look at in the near future!
It sounds great but have you heard the Wellspring form Teaching Machines, whilst it only has long springs it has other controls like delays, filters and modulation.

wow i didn't expect that
It's quite shocking how much a simple reverb can do!
Asides from the spring in my amp & an old Roland rv100 nope .
This thing is extremely next level ! Sounds lush
It's really surprising how good this is! We ❤️ IGS!
@@sxproaudio i can hear why!!
I'd like to build my own spring reverb.
If you do, be sure to make a video for us all to see!
Sounds beautiful!

Thanks for the comment. It's not a product/brand we deal in so we haven't seen one to try it, so will reserve judgement and comment until we do!
I cordially despise spring reverbs - unless in a guitar cab.
