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! Ā Choose from Classic Spring, Blackface Trem-n-Verb, or an organ-like Fugue-Verb.
Classic Spring Reverb
The Hooke Spring Reverb begins with a Spring Reverb mode. Ā The main features of this mode include the Tone and Spring controls. Ā The Tone control allows you to work within the range of bright and spanky to dark and thick. Ā The Spring control is the amount āloosenessā or āSproing!ā in the reverb pan. Ā Loose springs seem to generate a lot of reflections, and you can hear the reverb ābounce.ā Ā With the Hooke, you can simulate a specific reverb pan of a vintage amp, two-springs, three-springs, short, medium, long decay ā¦ itās all in there. Ā Whatās more, combinations of these two controls allow you to fine-tune the tone and the character of the springsĀ andĀ tubes in order to dial in your favorite vintage reverb response. Ā The depth and warmth of the Hooke reverb is simply remarkable. Ā Itās one of our finest creations.
Blackface Trem-n-Verb
Trem-n-verb is designed to give you the ultimate Fullerton, CA black panel Vibrato channel reverb. Ā Everyone knows that itās not really (pitch) vibrato, itās tremolo. Ā We carefully EQād and filtered the sound to not only be tube-like, but we craftedĀ a tonal modification that makes for a deep, throbbing tremolo. Ā By adjusting the bias of the output tubes for the volume tremolo, you also dip the volume of the reverb. Ā We created a special recipe in which the reverb washes over the tremolo texture just a little thickened in order to craft a tone that is truly magical.
Fugue, an Organ Reverb
The Hooke Reverb needed something crazy, something that just didnāt exist. Ā We started playing with shimmer-springs, octave down and sprung, and all sorts of other coiled manifestations of things springy and coily when it hit us. Ā The problem was we could hear the original guitar part. Ā Ah, yes, all wet. Ā All wet is where magic can happen. Ā No original signal, all wet spring reverb with octave up and down. Ā Church Organ, Organ Reverb, Fugue It! Ā Get Hooked and Go Fugue!
Spring for More!
Three More Reverb Patches!
Want more from your Keeley Reverb? Ā Take the back plate off your Hooke Spring Reverb and change the Bank Switch to Bank 2. Ā Now you have three more spring reverb patches!
Long Decay Trem-n-Verb āĀ Same as in Bank 1, but set up for single coil guitars and super long decay/reverb trails. Ā If you want a huge springy mess of reverb and you have some spaghetti logo guitar for making surf music ā¦ yeah, this is it. Ā Springās up, dude!
Spring-PlateĀ ā Another Keeley Original. Ā After a YouTube commentator wrote, oh man no plate reverb? I said, Beeeeetch! I got your plate reverb! Ā How about this, I said: Cross Fade between Spring Reverb and Plate Reverb. Ā And thatās just exactly what it does. Ā Dial in 25% spring reverb and 75% plate, dial in 50/50, dial in your own perfection. Ā This is like takingĀ your tube amp with spring reverb into the studio and then the producerĀ adds plate reverb. Ā Classic. Ā Happens all the time. Ā Well, nowĀ you can do it anywhere with the Keeley Hooke Spring Reverb. Ā Thank you.
Vibro-SpringĀ ā What if a Blackface and Magnatone amp had a love child? Ā Yeah, a pitch vibrato spring reverb. Ā Something that would have been right up Lonnie Mackās alley? Ā Well, itās in there too. Ā The Fugue Mode becomes what I call the Mack Mode. Ā Mack Mode was inspired by Eddie Heinzlemanās love of Lonnie Mack. Ā I texted Eddie about this possibility and in a few seconds I had YouTube links toĀ WhamĀ andĀ Satisfy Suzie. Ā Yup, Vibrato and Reverb. Ā Sounds Delish. Ā Mack ānā Cheese! Ā Wait, wrong pageā¦ Mack Mode! Ā Spring Reverb with Pitch Vibrato.
