Amp Designer Reverb Type Reference Table
You can choose a reverb type by clicking the Reverb label in the center of the Amp section.
The table below covers the properties of each reverb type available in Amp Designer.
DescriptionReverb type
This bright, splashy sound has largely defined combo amp reverb
since the early 1960s.
Vintage Spring
A darker, subtler spring sound.Simple Spring
An even darker, somewhat low-fidelity spring sound.Mellow Spring
Has some of the brilliance of Vintage Spring, but with less surf-style
splash.
Bright Spring
A moody-sounding spring. More restrained than Mellow Spring.Dark Spring
Another 1960s-style spring with a strong, slightly distorted
mid-range emphasis.
Resonant Spring
A modernized version of the classic Vintage Spring with a richer
tone in the bass and mids.
Boutique Spring
A smooth modern reverb with rich lows and restrained highs.Sweet Reverb
A bold, well-balanced modern reverb.Rich Reverb
A lush modern reverb with rich low-mids and understated highs.Warm Reverb
Using Amp Designer’s Tremolo and Vibrato Effects
Tremolo and vibrato are controlled by several switches and two knobs in the Effects
section found toward the right of the knobs section. Tremolo modulates the amplitude
or volume of the sound, and vibrato modulates the pitch.
• On/Off switch: Enables or disables the tremolo or vibrato effect.
• Trem/Vib switch: Choose either tremolo or vibrato.
• Depth knob: Sets the intensity of the modulation (tremolo or vibrato).
• Speed knob: Sets the speed of the modulation in Hertz. Lower settings produce a
smooth, floating sound. Higher settings produce a rotor-like effect.
