A good reverb is like a warm hug, a fantastic reverb is like a hug that grows bigger and bigger and sticks with you long after its over. The Teaching Machines Wellspring falls firmly into the latter camp and then pushes things far beyond what you’d ever expect from a typical spring reverb.
At its core, the Wellspring is an analog stereo spring reverb with two springs per channel. The front panel offers a guitar input, while the back sports ¼" stereo ins and outs on its 3U frame. Once you’re plugged in, the Springs knob takes you anywhere from subtle to spacious with a simple twist.
But that’s just scratching the surface. The Wellspring isn’t only about reverb—it also packs in delay, modulation, and filter sections that open the door to wildly creative possibilities. The stereo pair of delay lines havev a dedicated section that includes independent Time controls, a Sync/Free switch, Feedback knob, and a Parallel/Ping-Pong mode switch.
To shape long reverb tails, Teaching Machines added powerful Modulation and Filter sections. In the Modulation section, you can select between Sine and Saw Tooth waves, there's a Delay knob for control over the amount of pitch modulation, and a Sync Left/Invert switch. Next is a Filter modulation amount with Sync Left/Invert switch, and then a Speed control for the internal modulation speed with a 1x/10x switch.
The filter section features a selectable High Pass, Band Pass, Low Pass and Notch Filter, along with a Frequency knob for controlling the cut-off point and a Dry/Wet knob. If you don't want any filters involved, you can set the unit to High Pass and turn the Frequency knob all the way to the left.
Last but not least is the Magic section, which features a single knob labeled Intensity. This deceptively simple control can take everything you’ve dialed in and launch it into another dimension. By turning the knob, you decide how much of the spring reverb signal feeds back into the delays, unlocking lush, evolving, and even infinite reverb/delay tails.
In our latest Fresh Listen, we explore the possibilities of the Teaching Machines Wellspring, diving into its reverb, delay, modulation, filters, and Magic. Watch the video below to hear these tools in action on male and female vocals, pedal steel, electric piano, and drums.
