01Overview

Spring reverbs are known for their boingy, vintage character, but they are usually hard to tweak, noisy and mono. Recoil is built to capture that sound with more flexibility. You can choose between algorithmic models for fine control and impulse-based models for a more realistic response. Each spring model lets you use one to three springs, and you can pan each spring separately to build a wide stereo image from a sound that is naturally mono.

Spring Types and Sound Character

Recoil goes beyond standard reverb tanks. The developer included models based on slinkies, door stops and other objects that resemble springs, which gives you a wider range of metallic, bouncy textures.

The plugin offers both algorithmic and impulse-based reverbs. Algorithmic models give you more control over the spring settings, while impulse-based models aim for a more realistic sound. You can choose the approach that suits the part you are processing.

Controls and Stereo Workflow

Recoil lets you set the number of springs for each model, from one to three. This makes it easy to shift the density of the reverb without changing the character of the spring itself.

Because spring reverbs are typically mono, Recoil gives you a way to create width. Panning each spring separately produces a naturally wide reverb that can sit comfortably in a stereo mix. Recoil is a good fit for guitars, keys and other sources where a vintage spring tone is the goal.
