Why use it
What it doesA spring tank - one, two or three springs, with the boing and the shake.
Reach for it whenGuitar and organ. Dub effects. Anywhere a plate would be too polite.
What makes it differentDispersion is modelled, so highs arrive before lows and a hit rings rather than smears.
A spring tank — one, two or three springs, with the boing and the shake you only get from actual springs.
Springs disperse: high frequencies travel faster than low ones, so a transient arrives as a chirp rather than a copy. That dispersion is where the sound comes from, and it's modelled with real allpass chains rather than faked with a filter.

WHAT'S NEW IN 1.6.2
· The feedback tank could run away. Worst-case amplitude over a 60-second extreme setting halved, from 5.229 to 2.620, with RT60 unchanged (0.31 / 0.57 / 1.05 / 2.49 s).
· Damping ran backwards — higher meant brighter. The host now shows it as Brightness; the parameter ID is unchanged, so existing sessions still load.
· Mix no longer clicks when automated (0.570 → 0.0012).
· Fixed a crash that could bring the host down: closing the plug-in window and then removing the plug-in left a timer running on freed data.
· Licence activation fixed: a bundle key now counts one activation per computer instead of one per plug-in, so one key covers five machines as stated.
· Rebuilt, re-signed and notarized for macOS (Universal) and Windows.
REGISTRATION
· The plug-in runs unrestricted for a 7-day trial from first launch, counted separately for each plugin.
· Your licence key is on your Gumroad receipt and on the download page.
· Paste it into the plug-in once — it needs internet that one time, then works offline.
· Message me on Gumroad if you need it reset for a new machine.
