The audio examples available on this page accompany my review of the Wellspring Spring Reverb unit by Teaching Machines. I've provided a few examples of how I enjoyed using it during the review period. Included are before and after examples and a brief description of my settings.
01_Female Vocal_RAW
An example of a female vocal by an artist called Naomi Randall.
02_Female Vocal_Spring
This is the sound of the wellspring with all the extra features switched off. Just the 'neat' springs.
03_Female_Vocal_SpringFX
In this example I've shaped the tail of the spring reverb using a combination of the Low-pass filter and some gentle, slow modulation. I've also added some parallel-style delay with the feedback at around 50%.
04_Snare_RAW
A close mic capture of a snare drum.
05_Snare_Delay
The Wellspring features a great sounding analogue Delay and this is an example of a rhythmic style delay used on a snare drum. This is with the ping-pong setting and with a touch of spring reverb.
06_Guitar_RAW
This is an electric guitar part I recorded with a Beyerdynamic M160.
07_Guitar_Mod
In this example I've leaned heavily on the modulation to create a rhythmic flange/chorus type effect. The spring reverb is off here.
08_Guitar_Magic
In this example I've used the same modulation settings but with some spring reverb blended in and the 'Magic' control at around 50%.
