Old hardware has these gated reverb presets. You end up with a big space and a tiny tail. But for this to sound good the gate needs a soft close that doesn't stutter. I've got an ol digitech GSP7. Has a great set of gated verb presets that work well for guitar. And I would assume a good gate set at the output of a software verb could do just as well.

Check out FreeVerbToo. It's a free VST/DX reverb with gate built in and sounds quite decent also.

ok, thank you

I'm gonna try freeverbtoo

I guess the treshold level should be set at a quite high value with fast attack and soft close is it right?

As : "Reverb & Gate " i would recommand "Ambiance"

As : "Gate reverb " i don't know something really satisfactory as VST, at least on mac ,except maybe some appropriate programming work on "Bouncing ball delay" ?

To hear what this sounds like, listen to anything Phil Collins played drums on in the eighties, particularly his toms.

Or most any 80s drums actually... hateful sound most of the time, made all 80s drums, played and programmed sound alike.

Yeah, signiture 80s drum sounds. Of course you can do it with any reverb by putting a gate after it, but remember that only the wet sound is gated. Then you can put a compressor after that if you like for even bigger/stupider sounds.
