Universal Audio does it again

To put it in a nutshell, this plug and was designed to emulate classic metal reverb plates. It's presents are very simple with not many controls, you may be saying why. I'm going to take a guess and say that he wanted to keep it real and use a very basic GUI to to mimic the old classic reverb physical hardware boxes. Even though they were even though there are very little controls, the few they have off suffice and to the point.

  • decay time control from 0.5 to 5.5 seconds with 0.1s increments
  • pre-delay up 250ms, switchable input 12dB/octave HP filter (flat, 90 and 180 Hz), Bass/Treble shelving EQs,
  • left/right balance
  • dry/wet mix

 

The presents are very dark sounding, again this is because that was their intent, to make them sound like the classic reverb proxy

As I have mentioned before, take a vantage of the free 15 they demo, downloaded, install it and play with it on some of your tracks, I would recommend Vocals first
