OrbitCab now has a built-in spring reverb 🌀 — that classic drippy, splashy amp-tank boing, right in the plugin. One REV knob and it's there: surfy, vintage, sitting inside your amp like the real thing.

It's wired exactly where a real amp's tank lives — after the tone stack, before the poweramp and cab — so the spring gets pushed by your amped tone and then coloured by the power amp and speaker. It mixes with the guitar, in the cabinet, not as a clean studio reverb bolted on the end. REV at 0 = off, and free (zero CPU).


For the techies

Reverb

  • Mono convolution spring reverb (Fisher K-10 tube spring, CC0), inserted post-EQ / pre-poweramp.
  • Real-time safe: off-thread IR load + atomic swap, un-normalised convolver, folded into the auto-level context. Zero latency.

Preamp section

  • VOLUME — post-preamp output gain: drive the EQ / poweramp / cab harder.
  • OUT meter at the strip's right edge — the level leaving the preamp, before the poweramp + cab.
  • EQ curve — the HPF/LPF frequency knobs are gone; drag the curve's low/high edges instead, with a live output-spectrum overlay and the enable toggles on the corners. HPF/LPF ranges widened (20–1000 Hz / 1.5–18 kHz).
  • Presence removed from the tone stack — it duplicated Treble; the real NFB presence lives in the Tube poweramp.

Polish

  • Unselected mode / radio buttons (CLEAN / CRUNCH / HI-GAIN / tube types…) now draw a coloured outline instead of a dim fill.
  • DSP-load breakdown gains a dedicated Reverb row, and the load reads to one decimal.
