Keeley Hooke Reverb - Spring Mode

collapse expand iconDescription

The Hooke Spring Reverb from Keeley brings vintage tube-amp spring reverb and tremolo into one package. Bring your blackface reverb and tremolo on the road with you without lugging around your prized possession! Choose from Classic Spring, Black Face Trem-n-Verb, or an organ like Fugue-Verb.

Classic Spring Reverb
The Hooke Spring Reverb has the Spring Reverb mode. The main features of this mode include the Tone and Spring controls. The Tone control allows you to set the pedal for a bright, spanky reverb tone or a dark, thick reverb. The Spring control is the amount “looseness” or “Spring!” in the reverb pan. Loose springs seem to give a lot of reflections and you can hear the reverb “bounce” a lot. You can simulate a specific reverb pan you had in a vintage amp. Combinations of these two controls allow you to fine-tune both the tone and the character of the springs and tubes in your favorite vintage reverb. You won’t believe the depth and warmth of this reverb.

Black Face Trem-n-Verb
This is designed to give you the ultimate black panel Vibrato channel reverb. Everyone knows that it’s not really (pitch) vibrato, it’s tremolo. The engineers carefully EQ’d and filtered the sound to not only be tube-like but we crafted a tonal modification that makes for a deep throbbing tremolo. By adjusting the bias of the output tubes for the volume tremolo, you also dip the volume of the reverb. Keeley found a special recipe where the reverb washes over the tremolo texture a little thicker and creates a tone that is truly magical.

Fugue, an Organ Reverb
The Hooke Reverb needed something crazy. Something that just didn’t exist. The Keeley designers started playing with shimmer-springs, octave down and sprung, all sorts of other coiled manifestations of things springy and coily and then it hit us. The problem was they could hear the original guitar part. Ah, yes, all wet. All wet is where the magic happened. No original signal, all wet spring reverb with octave up and down.

What more from your Keeley Reverb? Take the back plate off your Hooke Spring Reverb and change the Bank Switch to Bank 2. Now you have 3 more Spring reverb patches!

Long Decay Trem-n-Verb – Same as in Bank 1, but set up for single-coil guitars and super-long decay/reverb trails. If you want a huge springy mess of reverb and you have some spaghetti logo guitar for making surf music, this is it.

Spring-Plate – Another Keeley original. Cross Fade between Spring Reverb and Plate Reverb. And that’s just exactly what it does. Dial in 25% spring reverb and 75% plate, dial in 50/50, dial in your own perfection. This is like taking your tube amp with spring reverb into the studio, and then the producer adds their plate reverb.

Vibro-Spring – What if a Blackface and Magnatone amp had a love child? Yeah, a pitch vibrato spring reverb. Something that would have been right up Lonnie Mack’s alley? Well, it’s in there too.

    I play primarily in church where there is an Orange house amp for me to use. It's good but it has no built in reverb, so unless I want to haul my Vibrolux every week I need to provide a reverb. I shopped around quite a bit but none of the pedals that I tested really grabbed me. I guess I've been spoiled by Leo Fender's awesome reverbs. That was until I visited the Keely website! I loved what I heard, lush, full and natural. So I bought one and I am not in the least disappointed. The Hooke Spring is as good as the reverb in my Fender, and that's saying a lot! It is a straight forward reverb pedal with lots of places to go. It took a little tweaking to find the best place for it in my signal chain, but now it on my board to stay. I highly recommend this pedal.
