What are your favorite effects for slow ambient music? (Cheap or free preferred)
Mine:
PaulStretch, Ambient Reverb, Valhalla Freq Echo - free
Frostbite, Polaris - cheap (each purchased for under $10 during sales, I don't remember: maybe Polaris was in the $10-15 range)

*Not all of these would be used on their own, but in chains with others.
*Since you listed some sale prices, most everything here has had a good sale price at one time or another

For free:
Orilriver and Sanford’s reverbs are both great. I probably use them more than my commercial ones.
Musical Entropys Spaceship Delay is one of my favourite delays, sounds great and has so many options. Actually his Guitar Gadgets is pretty essential too, great collection of off the wall effects (not just for guitars sounds).
Paid: I think Valhalla’s Ubermod is on everything I do, particularly the tape verb preset.

Inear Dislay Litote. Combined with a lush velvet reverb of your choice, instant evolving soundscape.

The reverbs in BYOME standup well to many of the other reverb plugins.

Cableguys Halftime. It's $12 and absolutely essential. Put it after A1 Trigger Gate which is free by Alex Hamilton and put Zynaptiqs free Subspace after on the Z setting and ... drift.

that's a really good (and rare) call! Very underestimaded ambient generator.
