Thoughts on best reverb

[chk071]

Just overall, I think I've got to say Valhalla Vintage Verb. It pretty much always sounds incredible, no matter what its on. Its only $50, and its been used on countless professional releases. If they increased the price to $400, people would still buy it because it SOUNDS that good, and it might even be more loved by some of the cork-sniffers out there at that point, just because if it costs more, its obviously a more refined and well-rounded product

Nonsense. And you may point me to the "countless professional releases" it's been used on as well.

it's always newbs who start up these ridic list threads, isn't it?

There is definitely a trend of newly registered users who create threads like "What is the bestest? Discuss.". Pretty stupid, but, hey, I guess there's no rule against stupid.

I have a feeling that it's some kind of marketing research whatever, but, I don't know. Maybe it's just stupid.

Indeed just nonsense.
But hey, he loves this noisy, dirty thing so much that he acts as unpaid product ambassador. Why not?

Can’t be left out from any reverb list:
Smartelectronix Anechoic Room Simulator.
Doesn’t get more realistic than this baby, it’s the gold standard for every reverb aficionado!

Let me teach you lesson, buddy: there's NO substitute for your own efforts and for your own thinking process.

And yes, Lexicon is still at the top, but the top is a lot more populated now than it used to be.

Let me teach you a lesson, buddy. Forums are for discussing things, and I like to get informed views to direct my own research, because time is limited. I think most people do, and that's generally why we're here. Thanks for relaying your experience.

Softube TSAR, Eventide 2016, Acon Reverberate and Exponential Audio are best reverbs imo.

Nice to have a convolution reverb, a clear reverb, and a funky reverb--and then get more reverbs, yes. They are precious.

Don't be afraid of free reverbs. Oril River and the TAL ones are good.

[Aloysius]

OrilRiver is very nice.

[Halonmusic]

TAL Reverb 2 & 3, Signaldust Tila2 & Abstract Chamber.

The most versatile reverb I own is B2. More like a spatial fx powerhouse, with excellent sound quality.

[FapFilter]

Most versatile reverb i have is actually VVV. I even like it more for clean than most celebrated “clean“ verbs i tried.
the tails might not sound just as good as some of the very best (mostly also very expensive, but often not as versatile) verbs out there, but since i mostly use tails that aren't obvious reverberation, VVV is very good to me. In fact better than many of the pricier ones i tried.

B2 is more for obvious effects for me. It can be also pretty CPU hungry, while VVV needs very little.

[Soundplex]

Generally I think there's no best. I Actually learned to love the fabfilter pro-r. Most versatile and quickly to fit into a mix as far as my setup goes. Offers multiple characterstic from plate to hall and an innovative eq like spectral length adjustment. Sounds good as has parameters that rather describe the properties/effect than what its doing internally.
