I’m confused by this post. I don’t understand why you don’t just create a programme with a spring reverb algorithm and a tremolo algorithm? You could put them in any order you want and make significantly more adjustments to either one. You could also turn either one on or off as you wished. I’m not sure this post belongs in this thread. Apologies.
What you’re describing is how I have a work around. I will run the Spring first and then either the TremoloPan or the Harmadillo algorithm. The issue with this is that you are now using both sides of the H90. One of the strength of the H9/90 algorithms is how many integrate multiple effects into them. The Spring algorithm has tremolo built in. In an ideal world, you would get what you want/need in one algorithm.
Here is how the Spring algorithm is described in the manual, “Spring models the sound and character of the popular artificial reverbs found in guitar amplifiers.”
The Spring plugin is marketed as, “Spring Reverb models the sound and character of popular spring reverbs found in guitar amplifiers, popularized by Surf, Garage and Rockabilly music.”
The thing is that in those same guitar amplifiers that were used by ‘Surf, Garage, and Rockabilly music’, the tremolo comes AFTER the reverb and modulates the entire signal, not just the reverb. Why spend so much time, money, and effort to emulate an old classic set up and then choose to not include the mode/order of effects that was present in those same guitar amplifiers you are trying to emulate? I was so excited to see that the H90 was going to allow one to switch the order of the effects. I just don’t fully understand the reasoning behind the choice that was made.
It is possible I am being unreasonable, but EVERY other emulation of a classic spring reverb and tremolo in pedal (Strymon Flint, Keeley Hydra, SA True Spring, Fender Tre-Verb, UA Dream, etc) or plug-in seems to understand this.
I love my H90. I just see this suggestion as a possible change that will help the people that want to use the pedals and algorithm to capture that sound and character of popular spring reverbs found in guitar amplifiers, popularized by Surf, Garage and Rockabilly music. 🙂
