  • Spring '65: Emulates the classic spring reverb tanks found in vintage 1960s American guitar amplífskraftar.
  • Plate 140: Recreates the dense, smooth sound of German studio plate reverbs from the 1950s.

Further variations within each effect type can be accessed using the A / B / C toggle switch. For example, the Spring '65 mode offers different spring tank configurations, while Plate 140 and Hall 224 offer distinct plate and hall characteristics respectively. Additional vintage digital Chamber & Plate effects can be downloaded upon product registration via the UAFX Control app.
