Fuse Audio Labs VREV-63
Truly analog-sounding plugins developer Fuse Audio Labs introduces its VREV-63 Surf Spring Reverb plug-in - presented as a ripping reincarnation of a celebrated Sixties-vintage tube-driven spring reverb recognized as the godfather of surf guitar sound - as of February 9… By being hooked up in front of an amp, the splashy sound of the mysterious box from which VREV-63 draws its inspiration has, itself, inspired countless dub, garage, jazz, reggae, rockabilly, and spaghetti western artists.
Arguably even easier to use than the real thing - certainly more convenient in a modern music production environment, VREV-63’s reverb intensity and time are set with the DWELL knob, while the TONE control allows the treble to be dialed back to just the right degree of brightness. A fundamental - yet switchable - part of the lush sound is the famous tone suck effect that impacts high frequencies, emerging from the authentic emulation of the tone and mixer circuits.
Faithfully following in the original’s flexible footsteps, VREV-63 is greatly enhanced by some popular modifications, including the CAP (capacitor) C10 mod for a deeper and richer reverb sound, easy tube rolling between a NOS 6K6 and the hotter 6V6, and a selection of three different spring tanks - namely, 3-SPRING, SHORT, and STOCK. Thanks to its integrated KICK UNIT, users can also enjoy ‘kicking’ the reverb all night long - no need to kick their precious hardware to achieve the same sound anymore and risk damaging it in the process!
Put it this way: “Its juicy reputation is well earned, and yet this outstanding reverb is by no means limited to surf expeditions, twangy splatter sounds, or crazy freak endeavors.” So says Fuse Audio Labs CEO Reimund Dratwa, concluding, “Time has proved it to sound equally beautiful and different on strings, synths, vocals, and many other instruments as well - just give it a ride... the springs are calling!”
VREV-63 is available at an attractive 50%-discounted introductory promo price of only $29.00 USD until March 9, 2024 - rising thereafter to its regular price of $59.00 USD - directly from its dedicated webpage. 14-day trial versions of all Fuse Audio Labs plugins without any restrictions are also available to download for free.
