Coil in brief
- What it is
- A spring reverb, modelled from the physics of a real spring tank.
- What it does
- Choose one to six springs, set the decay, and use Drive and the high-pass to control how hard the tank is hit.
- What it sounds like
- Proper spring: the boing on a snare, the drip on a guitar, a small, springy splash behind a vocal.
Try a short guitar or percussion passage, adjust the spring count, and blend the return under the source.
How it is built
Coil models the physics of a spring tank, with one to six spring paths. Decay runs from 0.1 to 10 seconds, and Damping HF darkens the tail. The high-pass filters what hits the tank, from 20 to 800 Hz, so low notes do not set off a rumble. Drive pushes the springs harder. Width sets how much side signal reaches the tank, and Wet Mix blends the return with the dry sound.
The high-pass filters the tank, not your guitar
HPF only filters what goes into the springs. The dry guitar keeps all its low end. Raise it when a low note sets the whole tank booming, then listen to the tail after that note, not the moment you move the knob. There is no pre-delay knob, so put a short delay before Coil if you want a gap.
