All Klanghelm plugins are actually very good.

I don't have them on my system anymore but in the past i have tried all their free stuff and was impressed with the quality.

MJUC and VUMT get lots of use. SDRR is okay to pretty good but other saturation plugins have overtaken it. Never jibed with the DC8C.

Now this TENS...super impressed. Very deep, very lovely sounding.

I'm also in the "never liked any spring reverb i've ever heard" camp.

However, I'm using Tens Jr and am kind of liking it. I'll use it for awhile and maybe get the full version in the end.

I encourage all fellow spring haters like myself to give Jr a go and use it more like a plate. I'm dialing it in at very low mix % and experimenting with very short (.5s is shortest in Jr) decay time and also very long ones for ambient. It certainly meshes well with brassy synth sounds.

I like real spring reverbs of different sorts but haven't found a lot of spring plugins I love. This one is cool, though, sort of like a spring/chamber sound. The springy bits aren't too sprongy. I appreciate that. Great utility functions on this one, you can really dial things in nicely. Having two tanks that can be routed how you like, and all the different models allows for more flexibility than you'd assume at first glance. I've been a Klanghelm fan for a long time and he's updated plugins I bought more than a decade ago, keeping them current. Glad to support him with another purchase - his releases are few and far between but his care has not lagged.

Spring Reverb huh? Very interesting. And as usual, the list price is similar to the the discounted price of the nearest comparable products. A bit less even, in this case. Twangström and AudioThing Springs are both on sale for thirtysomething right now. Hmmm...

"Spring" is just a word - both Twangström and Springs do not really have more in common with this than (say) Relab LX480 - they are all reverbs...

the AGK engineers did their best - and famously succeded - to avoid for their reverbs to have the typical spring-reverb idiosyncrasies at all.

it almost sound like a plate, have to be careful with the decay time, longer decay time builds up dense resonant sound (i assume in the paid version you can avoid that heavy resonant sound with the bass and treble controls)
Very heavy on the CPU on stereo (or two springs? i am not sure what that button is)
I am not a big fan of spring reverbs but this little one is very nice (on shorter decay times), it will be nice if some optimization is applied in the future, also i will keep an eye for further impressions on the paid version. big hugs

Buy Now the paid version. Don’t wait for impressions. It has to be done. The sooner the better.

I usually buy plugins merely for the sound. Never care what they look like if they sound good.

I bought these Klanghelm plugins because they look so freaking beautiful. It’s just a bonus that they sound amazing too.

Excited to try this one! I have been enjoying the Nevo Studios IRs of some of these reverbs recently, but struggled to manipulate them naturally with convolution pitch/time/decay effects or to reproduce something similar in Pro-R2. Maybe there is a Valhalla mode for it somewhere...

I like the exaggerated demos, they convey the character pretty well.

Multiple controls impact the twangy metallic character - not just bass and treble.

The 3 LFO/envelope assignable controls are a big bonus.

I’m going to guess there’s some oversampling inside and that adds to the cpu.
