VREV-305 Vintage Spring Reverb

I already have been positively surprised by the quality of the VREV-666, which is freeware and is already a really beautiful and great sounding (studio) spring reverb (simulation).

The VREV-305 seems to be some sort of "bigger brother", a true stereo spring reverb with the luxury of two separate 6 spring units, which therefore are capable of sounding more dense and intense, at the same time also more complex and elegant than eg. a typical spring reverb in a vintage (guitar) amp with two or three springs.

Therefore, if you look for these typical, extremely twangy, dirty surf guitar spring reverb sounds, there may be - a few - better alternatives available (a few less in this quality), but if you look for excellently adjustable, more elegant sounding reverb sounds with nevertheless this unique spring reverb character, which is capable of closing the gap between a more simple, cheaper built spring reverb and a plate reverb, this plugin might be the right choice.

Adjustable Decay and Pre-Delay time enable a lot of very different reverbs, which can be additionally altered with the four band equalizations.

Sounds great with guitar or bass, maybe even better with vocals, synthesizers, drums and a lot of other audio sources, but also can equally well be used for mastering, I think.

All useful and necessary controls are accessible, as much as a linking or independent adjustment of the two channels. I personally like to unlink them and adjust them differently, which adds some additional vividness and organic character to the final signal, which anyway already sounds top notch, at least to me.

Fuse Audio Labs offers a fully functional 14-days trial version, so you can test and check the plugin without any annoying noise or other limitations for some while.

The Intro Price makes it a bargain for the quality, although the regular price still is quite fair, I think.

I already have some - more or less - good sounding spring reverb plugins, also a lot of spring reverb IR's for convolution reverbs, but if I had to decide for a single one, I think, this one would be my choice, as more decent settings sound equally good as very intense ones.
