Beautiful Spaces. Disturbingly Dirty Character.

Kristian Kohle signature reverb

Beautiful Spaces. Disturbingly Dirty Character.

Six long reverbs and two short locker-room responses captured inside an abandoned swimming pool, then reshaped with ROT A/B saturation, MEAT, filtering, predelay, decay and flexible pre/post processing.

Hear and see it in action

Hear the pool before you shape it

Start with the captured space, then hear how the two reverb engines, saturation and filters turn it into an unmistakable production effect.

Why this product

The most beautiful yet disturbingly dirty sounding reverb ever

A huge empty pool created the long diffuse tails; its locker rooms supplied the immediate slap. Rotten Pool keeps both families of responses inside one deliberately destructive instrument.

An abandoned pool became the instrument

The story

An abandoned pool became the instrument

Kristian Kohle found a decaying swimming pool, carried microphones into the empty space and captured its natural reflections. The large hall produced long, diffuse reverbs while the locker rooms delivered short, hard slaps with a completely different scale.

Six long and two short spaces

Move between the huge diffuse pool and the hard slap of its locker rooms.

ROT A/B and MEAT

Add two complementary saturation characters and reinforce the short-room engine.

Flexible pre/post shaping

Place the high and low cuts before or after the reverb, then balance predelay, decay, mix and output.

Two engines, eight captured spaces

Choose FAR or CLOSE across bright, mid and dark long reverbs, then combine them with RAW or SMOKED short responses and the MEAT control for immediate locker-room impact.

Captured by Kristian Kohle

The source was not a stock hall algorithm. Microphones placed inside the abandoned location captured the scale, reflections and imperfect surfaces that give Rotten Pool its identity.

From the abandoned pool to the studio

The location recordings were brought back into Kristian Kohle’s studio, edited into distinct long and short spaces and prepared as the raw material for the finished reverb instrument.
