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.
