Super Tanker is RiffWorks' metallic effect reverb. This includes such classics as Spring and Plate, but also includes some of our own interesting reverbs. You can select the reverb type by choosing from the REVERB TYPE popup menu.

You can then tweak the size (reverb time), with the SIZE knob and the high frequency damping with the DAMPING knob. You can also set the amount of reverb you want in the signal using the mix knob.
