Interested in this one…
Ok...So I knocked up this demo. Hope it'll be useful.
Turns out I actually do really love the 'Alborosie Dub Station' spring. Quite lush. Nice 'n' splashy, with rough edges trimmed off (A bit washed-out, but in a pleasant way). I tried to get close to the character sing Springs' model RE-200, with some adjustments and EQ in the DAW. Not sure it'd be close enough for others, but I'm quite happy with the first attempt:
Anyway, for those who love ADS, I still believe there're tons of options in Springs, with lots of ways to further shape the sound. It's a no-brainer, imo. Maybe compelling enough to own both
The hi-hats aren't being sent to the springs, and each clip is being sent to a dab of Softube 'Tape Echo'.

Alborosie Dub Station (06:07)
(Modified to imitate Alborosie) RE-200 - 3 Springs (06:28)
Cool demo! I think your version of the ADS sound using Springs sounds great BTW.
Yeah, it's definitely a nice flavour to add to what's already in Springs.
@el_bo Great, really good demonstration of Springs quality. Lots of drip.

this is a pretty good one, already have the AU.
Do I always have to pay twice for my plugins in the future ?
Nice sound. I miss a good Spring Reverb. I think there are not so many alternatives on ios.
This really blows Eventide Springs into the dust. Thnx for posting White!
(audio)Thing on a Spring
Sheer genius piece of work
Drrrrrriiiiiip
Thanks for t(e vid @Gavinski !
Will bounce over to the App Store and have a go!
Btw don’t you think Baxandall sounds really Belfast! 😂
Haha! I guess it does a bit, lol
As well as raving about the spring reverbs in Springs, people also wax lyrical about the eq

Even the gear space forum members have only great things to say about Springs lol

This thing is such a steal at this price. It has pretty much everything you could want from a spring verb, tons of different models to choose from and most importantly sounds incredible. One of the more underrated features that is lacking on SO many reverbs is a separate input gain knob so you can treat it like a send effect but as an insert, super handy. The drive and eq do also sound great and the input bandwidth control adds a tone of flexibility when trying to get the verb to sit in a mix.
@Sabicas : thoughts?
LOVE that input bandwidth control!
Definitely worth the intro price, some really good implementation of controls with Springs great to get these desktop qualitiy plugins to iOS.
Really nice effect!
I Flexible sound shaping.
Standard feedback / feature request
No precise control over reverb length/time except by choosing a different spring… probably fare enough for authentic sounds but would perhaps be nice addition to fine tune or adjust to tempo.
Yeah, the choice being only long / short, or choose a different model, is a bit of a pity. Maybe was hard to model? Nevertheless, great sound and great variety
Edit: totally possible - see Ronnie’s post below!
And at least you have control over pre-delay, which can make a big difference
You guys are in for a nice surprise 🤓
I just can’t decide if I want to do dub or surf rock first
Well spotted Ronnie! Thanks so much, I missed that one
Instabuy! Indispensable for my dub addiction. The thing is, Audiothing fx are just top quality.
Fuck yeah!
Thanks @ronnieb
In what way?
More settings, more flavors and variations, more drip, more boing. Eventide's is only modeling if I'm not mistaken, while AT Spring is a blend of convolution and modeling.
