Crazy Tube Circuits Splash VIII

Ambient Dreams, Analog Roots

The latest evolution of the beloved Splash reverb is here—and it’s bigger, deeper, and more expressive than ever.

With all the award-winning algorithms from the MK3, plus the shimmer and plate modes from the Sidekick, and three brand-new additions (two lush modulated reverbs and one flanged freeze effect), Splash MKIV is a compact ambient powerhouse. Whether you're chasing subtle space or infinite trails that bloom and swirl, it’s all inside.

Even better, Splash now gives you hands-free control: use an expression pedal or the footswitch to shape decay and excite parameters on the fly. That means full-on ambient exploration without ever taking your hands off the strings.

Your dry tone stays 100% analog, and the wet side gets the same analog treatment for filtering and mixing—giving you rich, deep reverbs without sacrificing clarity or character.

Here’s what’s under the hood:

• Algorithm I – The Exciter: Gentle ambience to pad-like swells. A twist on the MK3 classic with extra decay on tap.

• Algorithm II – Moderate Reverb: Springy and snappy to warm room and hall tones. Classic MK3 flavor.

• Algorithm III – Large Reverb: Deep halls and ambient washes with extended decay.

• Algorithm IV – Plate: From Sidekick, smooth and resonant with a studio vibe.

• Algorithm V – Shimmer: Ethereal highs and harmonic lift. Now with longer tails.

• Algorithm VI – Modulated I: Fast-moving textures and cavernous decay.

• Algorithm VII – Modulated II: Full-bodied and lush. Long to infinite decay for true ambient trails.

Whether you're building ambient layers, adding dimension to your cleans, or pushing into cinematic soundscapes, Splash MKIV delivers dreamy reverb with analog warmth and digital depth—all in one small, expressive box.
