HD•Cart is a high-density reverb plugin modelled after a legendary expansion for one of the most sought after and expensive reverb units of all time. It was next to impossible to walk into almost any professional recording studio in the mid to late 1980s – and for many years after – and not have one be in the room somewhere. So many of the most cherished and well-known recordings of all time owe a large part of their ambience and overall sound to this iconic state of the art (at the time) processor.
The HD and surround expansion cartridge for this unit contained the only algorithm to ever fully take advantage of its considerable dual-board processing capabilities. This amazing program was capable of being used in quadraphonic, 5.0 surround or high-density stereo reverb modes resulting in dense, riche audio unlike any other reverb processor.
I'm a bit disappointed after trying the HD Cart reverb (tested about 10 presets with guitar and synth) after reading the superlatives in the websites description of it. Perhaps it's a different type of reverb modelling, or a vintage tone I don't have the ear for, but I don't think it sounds better than any I use, which includes Breverb (guitar), Valhalla (guitar) or Audio Damage (Synth)?
