The True Spring Reverb revisits and reimagines the timeless combination of spring reverb and tremolo. The Source Audio engineering team put years of collective man-hours into capturing every nuance and idiosyncrasy of the spring reverb and tremolo effects from some of the music gear industry's most iconic guitar amps and outboard gear.

The True Spring has three types of authentic spring reverb. The Short and Long Spring engines offer spring reverb tones inspired by iconic combo amps, and the Tank engine for a "drippy" sound inspired by tube driven outboard spring tanks.

Combine any of the spring reverb effects with any of the True Spring's three styles of tremolo. Tremolo effects include Opto, Bias, and Harmonic.

The True Spring comes in a compact and durable brushed aluminum housing with stereo inputs and outputs, external expression and tap tempo control, and six preset positions. When combined with the Neuro Hub, the True Spring also features full MIDI functionality.

Dialing in a wide selection of gorgeous reverb and tremolo tones is simple right out of the box, but the True Spring also offers a far deeper set of editing abilities and unique routing options when connected to the Neuro Desktop Editor or Neuro Mobile App. Use the Neuro Editor to create highly customized presets, then save, store, and share them with the rest of the growing Neuro Community.

Three Distinct Spring Reverb and Tremolo Effects.
Two Modes of Operation – Use the pedal in Standard Mode for a classic (non-preset) stompbox experience or turn on Preset Mode and save a user preset (including reverb/tremolo effects and knob positions) to each of the three toggle switch positions.
Flexible Stereo Routing – The True Spring is equally at home in a mono or stereo rig. The pedal's stereo inputs and outputs offer a variety of routing options such as Stereo to Stereo, Mono to Mono, Mono-to-Stereo, Stereo Sum-to-Mono and External Loop Mode.
Universal Bypass — Select Active Analog (Buffered) or True Bypass.
Secondary Tremolo Controls - Press and hold the CONTROL INPUT button to access the True Spring's tremolo effects (DWELL knob controls tremolo DEPTH / TONE knob controls tremolo RATE / toggle switch selects tremolo type).
Expression Control — Compatible with Source Audio expression pedals and the Hot Hand 3 Universal Wireless Effects Controller. Assign up to three simultaneous parameters with editable depth and direction.
External Tap Tempo – Use the Source Audio Tap Switch to tap in the tremolo rate with a choice of four different beat divisions (quarter, eighth, triplet, and sixteenth).
External Tremolo Engage and Bypass – Use the Source Audio Tap Switch to engage or disengage the tremolo effects on top of an active spring reverb.


Connect the True Spring Reverb to the Neuro Mobile App (a free download for iOS and Android) or the Neuro Desktop Editor (a free download for Mac or Windows computers) and explore the power of effect downloading, customization, and sharing that comes with every One Series pedal.
Interchangeable Algorithms — Upload any of the additional reverb or tremolo effects directly to the pedal at no additional charge.
Customize Effects — Tweak an additional set of parameters including advance EQ, pre-delay, diffusion, reverb modulation, virtual spring length, and more.
Save and Share Customized Presets — Once you've fine-tuned an effect, save it to your personal effects collection in the cloud and share it with the growing community of Neuro users.
Download Presets — Explore Source Audio's ever-expanding library of effect presets. Choose from Source Audio Factory presets or presets created and published by members of the Neuro Community.
Signal Routing Options — Re-route the stereo Inputs and Outputs in a number of different ways including Auto Detect, True Stereo, Mono to Stereo, External Effects Loop, and more.
Simple Connection — The Neuro Mobile App. connects with the True Spring via the mobile device's headphone jack and Stereo Input 2 on the pedal. A Neuro App connector cable (1/8" to 1/4") is included with the pedal.
USB Connection – Use the pedal's mini USB port to connect the True Spring to the Neuro Desktop Editor, which can be used to edit presets or download the latest pedal firmware.

Source Audio True Spring Reverb pedal
https://www.sourceaudio.net/true_spring.html

Buried in the specs is the fact that it also has an excellent stereo Tremolo

The Tremolos
The True Spring Reverb also allows you to combine any of its iconic spring reverbs with any of the pedal's three tremolo effects. The True Spring's tremolos are the same organic effects that originally appeared in our Vertigo Tremolo - the winner of Guitar Player's "Hall of Fame 2015" and Premier Guitar's "Premier Gear Award."




Opto Tremolo: Optical tremolo (a.k.a. "Photocell Tremolo") is the effect found in many combo amps of the 1960s. This version of tremolo relies upon a neon light bulb and a light dependent resistor called an "optocoupler." The non-symmetrical aspects of the light and the optocoupler give the tremolo a distinct choppy character.
Harmonic Tremolo: This unique effect first appeared in Fender™  "brownface" amps made between 1959 and 1963, which alternately modulated the levels of bass and treble frequencies in the audio signal. The result is a very pleasing and complex tremolo that has characteristics reminiscent of a phaser.
Bias Tremolo: This approach to tremolo involves using an LFO to modulate the bias voltage of the tubes in an amplifier. This essentially pushes the tubes in and out of saturation. The result is a smooth amplitude modulation with a mild overdrive created by the tube saturation.




- add the Neuro Hub for MIDI and Expression pedal control and 128 preset memory locations with MIDI

it has an Android / IOS Editor too

QuoteFor what it is worth:

in about 2010 we started working on the spring reverb in the Dimension Reverb. There were limited DSP instructions given that we were also doing like 7 other reverb effects, so Bob focused on what the sound of a spring reverb was like and created it with EQ and filters. I would go out on a limb and say that this is how most pedal reverbs are created.

In about 2016 Bob started work on the "True Spring" that was to be on the new Ventris Reverb. His 1960s Vibrolux was the key inspiration for the sound. Once we committed to dual reverbs in the Ventris, Bob was able to dedicate 100% of the DSP instructions to the spring. There are not many examples of a reverb pedal where 100% of a high performance DSP is committed to just the spring. (I cant think is any, in fact) The key innovation with the True Spring was the modeling of the physical characteristics of the springs themselves (yes there are more than one so cross talk is included) rather than what has been done historically with just EQ and filtering. It was a high risk project and very expensive, but it worked. In our view, we came closer to "amp spring" reverb than anyone ever had before in a pedal.

When Ventris came out there were folks who asked about more drip to capture "outboard" spring tanks. There is drip in the amp settings, but it is not as extreme as in the outboard. We borrowed a Surfy Bear from @Tri Pedal Reviews and studied it for a while. It certainly had a sound that was different than the True Spring and the Vibrolux, so we set about studying what made it different. We also studied what I will call pedals with "fake drip" (there were 2 on the market at the time) and "no drip" spring. We were under pressure from many folks here to do better. This led to a few months after Ventris was released, when we put out the Ventris Outboard Spring Reverb Engines. Any owner of Ventris can get access to them. Again, these were based on the Surfy Bear.

About 2 years ago we thought we should put all of our best spring technology into one dedicated spring reverb pedal for those who did not want to pay $400. This became the True Spring Pedal. In addition to all the spring sounds from Ventris, we decided to really nail the Fender 6G15 outboard spring tank rather than the Surfy alone. It sounds quite different than the Surfy, so it required that we go back to the drawing board. Many thanks to @shoepedals for his great reverb ear and assistance in pushing us to get as close as we possibly could. He also designed a number of other really great sounds that are on that pedal and too. Many owners have yet to discover them!

The bottom line? The outboard spring tank effects in the True Spring Reverb pedal represent the culmination of many years of research and product creation in this area. And, very specifically, we really went after the sound, controls, and experience of the 6G15.

Perhaps more than most of you want to know......but that is the history behind these pedals and how we eventually went after creating this sound.

I have the Ventris and it has a Engine named Modverd that is based on trem-Spring sound but it's no where near what this pedal does.
