Gong Amp
The Resonance of Early Electronic Music
Gong Amp takes an exciting experimental amplifier from the beginnings of electronic music to the plugin world of today.
In 1932, Maurice Martenot was looking for a way to make his groundbreaking proto-synthesizer “Ondes” audible beyond what could be archived with the horns and loudspeakers of the time. He developed a set of “diffusers”, of which the “Métallique” was one. Instead of a paper cone or horn, Martenot put a gong behind the amplifier circuitry. This seemingly simple idea resulted in resonances and brilliant overtones that excite audiences to this day.
In 2011, the French company Eowave took inspiration from Martenot’s invention and made their own version, the Resonator Metallik. When Audiothing heard what Berlin composer Hainbach did with this rare and discontinued amplifier, they knew the sound needed to be available to more than a select few. So they made Gong Amp, their third collaboration with Hainbach since Motors and Wires.
Using a complex mixture of convolution processing, physical modelling, and feedback systems, AudioThing created an instrument that is true to the responsiveness of the original and even transcends it in terms of sound design possibilities.

Springs
Springs is a plugin that features a collection of vintage spring reverbs paired with an authentic Baxandall EQ emulation. Springs features emulations from 8 types of spring reverbs, ranging from a long 6-spring pipe to a tiny battery-powered single-spring unit. AudioThing have used a combination of convolution and modelling to recreate the vintage character of each reverb.
Spring reverbs were usually paired with tone stacks from guitar amplifiers. Springs features one of the most iconic and unique sounding tone stack equalizers: the Baxandall EQ. A classic Baxandall tone stack usually features just the bass and treble bands, but AudioThing have also added a Mid band (with control over the Q).
Features
- 8 Vintage Spring Reverbs
- Baxandall EQ (three bands)
- 50 Presets
- Resizable Window
- Preset system with randomizer

Type A
Type A is a plugin inspired by a famous vintage tape encoder. The original unit was designed to be a noise reduction system for tape recording (encode stage) and playback (decode stage).
Type A emulates the encode stage, which was often misused as an enhancer, dynamically increasing the top end of a signal without introducing artefacts or altering the harmonic content. The results are similar to a dynamic EQ which adds presence and air to any track in a natural way.
Features
- Vintage Enhancer
- Multi-band Compressor with 4 Bands
- Adjustable Unit Noise
- Oversample up to 16x
- Resizable Window
- Preset system with randomizer
- Formats: VST, VST3, AU, and AAX (64-bit only)
- Platforms: OSX, Windows
Learn more about Type A.
Type B
Type B is a plugin inspired by a famous vintage exciter effect. The original unit was designed to add presence and brightness to vocal or instrument tracks. It was often used to enhance dull recordings where the high-frequency content was missing due to tape overdubs.
Type B lets you control more aspects of the exciter circuit emulation, giving you access to the internal filter, the harmonic generator and more.
Features
- Vintage Exciter
- HP/BP Filter with Emphasis
- Adjustable Unit Noise
- Oversample up to 16x
- Resizable Window
- Preset system with randomizer
