Intellijel Springray 2
True analog spring reverb with vintage character
10 HP Eurorack module
The Springray 2 is a true analog spring reverb module that captures the timeless, magical character that digital reverbs can't quite replicate. With support for up to three different reverb tanks and a parametric EQ in the feedback path, it offers everything from subtle ambience to wild, self-oscillating textures with a distinctly vintage feel.
Features
- Parametric EQ with frequency, Q, and gain controls
- Feedback path with virtual tube circuitry
- Redesigned limiter circuit to prevent feedback clipping
- Three-tank selector switch
- SEND/RETURN jacks for external processing in feedback path
- Improved drive input with large gain range
- CV inputs for EQ frequency and gain modulation
- Multi-point clipping detection
Controls & Jacks (20)
- Tank — Selects between three spring reverb tanks (A, B, or C). Each tank has a different spring length and character.
- Gain — Controls the input gain to the spring tank. Higher settings drive the springs harder for more pronounced reverb.
- Freq — Adjusts the frequency of the built-in resonant filter applied to the reverb signal.
- Q — Controls the resonance (Q) of the built-in filter. Higher settings create a sharper peak at the filter frequency.
- Feedback — Routes the reverb output back into the input for longer, more complex reverb tails. High settings can self-oscillate.
- Limiter — Sets the threshold of the output limiter. Prevents the reverb signal from clipping, especially useful with high feedback or drive.
- GR — Gain reduction indicator. Lights when the limiter is actively reducing the signal level.
- Drive — Input drive/saturation. Pushes the signal into distortion before the spring tank for added grit and harmonics.
- Mix — Blends between dry (unprocessed) and wet (reverb) signal. Full left is dry, full right is wet.
- CLIP — Red LED that lights when the signal exceeds the clipping threshold.
- Freq Attenuator — Controls the amount of CV modulation applied to the Freq parameter from the Freq CV input.
- Gain Attenuator — Controls the amount of CV modulation applied to the Gain parameter from the Gain CV input.
- Freq CV In — CV input for modulating the parametric EQ frequency. Amount controlled by the Freq Attenuator.
- Gain CV In — CV input for modulating the parametric EQ gain (boost/cut). Amount controlled by the Gain Attenuator.
- Tank C Return — Return jack for Tank C. Receives the signal back from the external spring tank connected to the front panel.
- Tank C Send — RCA send jack for Tank C. Routes the signal to an external spring tank connected to the front panel. Active when Tank switch is set to C.
- Return — Injects an external signal into the feedback path. Normalled to the Send output for internal feedback routing.
- In — Main audio input for Springray 2.
- Mix Out — Mixed output combining dry and wet signals. Balance set by the Mix knob.
- Send — Outputs a fully wet and EQ-processed signal. Can be used for external wet/dry mixing or to insert processors into the feedback path.
