The PROFILER offers a selection of studio-quality reverb algorithms.

Spring Reverb

The Spring Reverb is inspired by the most sought-after spring reverb for guitarists: the Fender® Reverb Tank from
1963. There are two prominent characteristics that define this legendary reverb sound: one is the lack of low
frequencies, due to a steep lowcut filter used in the original design. This filter was employed to avoid acoustic
feedback between the speaker and the reverb tank, both of which were housed in the same combo amplifier. The
other is the haunting sound quality that resembles water dripping in a cave. We have gone to great lengths to
faithfully recreate this effect, to the extent that we have provided a dedicated intensity parameter called "Dripstone".
Vintage combo amps do not feature a preamp distortion, meaning that the power amp needs to be clipped to
achieve a gritty sound. Due to the placement of the reverb tank before the power amp, its output will be distorted
along with the dry guitar. To authentically recreate this effect in the PROFILER, you should place the Spring Reverb
before the amplifier. However, if you place the Spring Reverb after the amplifier, you can then enjoy it in stereo.
