This is a demo of the Vermona ReTubeVerb – a modern take on the classic spring reverb.
Features:
- The ReTubeVerb is build upon classical tube circuitry, designed to deliver a “warm and slightly compressed tube sound without interferences and unpleasant coloration”.
- The reverb effect comes out of a six-spring reverb tank (three double-springs) made by ACCUTRONICS.
- Equalizer – three frequencies
- Balanced In- and Output
- True Bypass, as well as the EFFECT STOP function. The latter allows refining the input signal by the tube preamp without reverberation.
The ReTubeVerb retails for around $750.

I've always been a fan of spring reverbs (mostly because of acquiring a taste for guitar based music that also included this effect from early on), but at the same time I am wondering whether or not it's really worth it sonically. I can get a lot of reverbs from software or from a digital box. The greatest difference I see with this unit is that it's dedicated to doing a single kind of reverbs and is all hands-on, so using it should be simple, effective and fun.
