A spring reverb. In a box. That's it.
Coil is not an impulse response and not an allpass patch — it's a physical model of a coiled helix spring, thousands of resonating modes computed in real time from the wire's actual geometry. Dwell, tone, mix. Kick the pedal and the tank goes kraang, because that's what tanks do.
Play it. Right here.
The real DSP — the same code that ships in the plugin — running in your browser.
- POWER ON, then pick a session clip below the pedal — licensed DI guitar takes, straight into Coil — or go LIVE with your own guitar and interface.
- Drag the knobs up and down (double-click resets, scroll wheel works). DWELL is how long the springs sing.
- Click the pedal body to kick the tank. Stomp the footswitch to bypass — the tail rings out, like a real pedal.
Live input: use headphones or keep speakers modest — reverb loves to feed back into an open mic.
DWELL
How long the springs keep singing — from a tight slap that dries up between phrases to a ten-second bloom that hangs in the room. It's the tank's decay, not a digital tail.
TONE
Tilts the spring's damping. Down is dark and rubbery, vintage-tank territory; up lets the bright metallic shimmer of the wire through.
MIX
Your dry signal stays untouched at unity — MIX is purely how much tank you pour on top. From a halo behind the notes to full surf drip.
- True modal physics — the spring's dispersion, flutter, and boing come from the model, not from samples
- The KRAANG: kick the pedal (or send any MIDI note) and the tank rattles, velocity-scaled
- Bypass rings out naturally — the footswitch never cuts the tail
- Mono-first: centered dry, stereo spring pickups
