Picture 5: Spring POST Mode
With the switch set to PRE, the spring is placed before the filter and the
VCA. Here, the source signal will be processed by the reverb section first
before it reaches the filter/VCA stages. This mode allows shaping of the
reverb tail. In contrary to common spring reverb units, this configuration
has control over the decay time through the VCA envelope.

CRASH
It was and still is popular amongst guitarists to kick their amp and rattle
the built in spring reverb this way. Because the spring is installed inside
a shielding metal tray, the kick causes the spring to hit the tray's walls.
This results in a distinctive crash sound.
With Retroverb Lancet, there's no need to kick your gear. Simply press
the CRASH button with the same result. But, use CRASH with care. The
effect is exceptionally loud and can may lead to overloads of your A/D-
converters.
