Product Description Hooke Spring Reverb

The new Hooke Spring Reverb from Keeley brings vintage tube-amp spring reverb and tremolo into one package. Bring your blackface reverb and tremolo on the road with you without lugging around your prized possession!  Choose from Classic Spring, Black Face Trem-n-Verb, or an organ like Fugue-Verb.

Classic Spring Reverb

The Hooke Spring Reverb has the Spring Reverb mode.  The main features of this mode include the Tone and Spring controls.  The Tone control allows you to set the pedal for a bright, spanky reverb tone or a dark, thick reverb.  The Spring control is the amount “looseness” or “Sproing!” in the reverb pan.  Loose springs seem to give a lot of reflections and you can hear the reverb “bounce” a lot.  You can simulate a specific reverb pan you had in a vintage amp.  Combinations of these two controls allow you to fine-tune both the tone and the character of the springs and tubes in your favorite vintage reverb.

Black Face Trem-n-Verb

This is designed to give you the ultimate Fullerton, CA black panel Vibrato channel reverb.  Everyone knows that it’s not really (pitch) vibrato, it’s tremolo.  We carefully EQ’d and filtered the sound to not only be tube-like but we crafted a tonal modification that makes for a deep throbbing tremolo.  By adjusting the bias of the output tubes for the volume tremolo, you also dip the volume of the reverb.  We found a special recipe where the reverb washes over the tremolo texture a little thicker and creates a tone that is truly magical.

Fugue, an Organ Reverb

The Hooke Reverb needed something crazy.  Something that just didn’t exist.  We started playing with shimmer-springs, octave down and sprung, all sorts of other coiled manifestations of things springy and coily and then it hit us.  The problem was we could hear the original guitar part.  Ah, yes, all wet.  All wet is where the magic happened.  No original signal, all wet spring reverb with octave up and down.  Church Organ, Organ Reverb, Fugue It!  Get Hooked and Go Fugue!
