I bought it to replace my tweaked up Lexy 224XL. It does 'sell the room' like no other. Something about a live recording done in an industrial box that sounds like a concert hall makes you believe the music was recorded in a beautiful space. It's top dog for acoustic recordings. It's the only reverb I've ever used that sounds great 100% wet.

I wouldn't mind having a second one.

Been demoing this the last few days - it's pretty much the perfect reverb for me. Shimmer and Room are incredible too. Gonna buy all 3 in short order.

I've been leaning very heavily on Altiverb and ReVibe at work lately. At home, I use the Classik Studio Reverbs from IK Multimedia. Though I just pulled out DVerb because I need a thick, shitty-sounding looong church.

I have used the shit out of Poor Plate for the past few years for all sorts of stuff, usually in conjunction with Digital Performer's Trim plugin to limit the width of the reverb. I also like their ADT plugin.

I have been diving more and more into the Metric Halo HaloVerb plugin that's part of my MH 2882's 2d Card. Considering grabbing their +DSP license late this year. It has been especially awesome for tracking vocals. Easy to insert vocal headphone reverb.

I use the spring reverbs in amps, reamping them through my Grendel Sound Dead Room II. I'm considering getting the Radial 500 series Tank Driver for this job, too. I also have a Furman RV-2 rack-mount stereo spring reverb, and I want to build a housing for an old acutronics that I have laying around over here. And then there is my old trusty Quadraverb Plus from 1993.

I bought a Holy Grail Plus for $45 last spring. I use it for amps with no reverb from time to time.

I am also a delay addict.

Until my 1977 EP-3 gets fixed, I've been using a Strymon El Capistan CONSTANTLY live, in the studio, etc. I want to check out the Catalinbread Belle Epoch as is looks awesome, and I have a few of their pedals, including the Echorec. I've also been in love with Nomad Factory's Echoes, using it a whole bunch for vocals.
I record, mix, and master in my Philly-based home studio, the Spacement. https://linktr.ee/ipressrecord

Just wanted to add to my previous post.
I've been doing some final mix revisions on a record that's been in production forever and ever and have started exploring the Eventide Ultra Harmonizer (H3000B) on strings and horns. It's been in the rack forever and for some reason I've never gotten too deep into it until now. I always associated it with delays and pitch shifting but the reverb patched (particularly the plate and dark room settings) are really great.

I'm in the box these days, so UAD stuff rules for me. EMT250 on drums, EMT 140 on vocals and Lex 224 for drums sometimes, other things here and there.

I print from my pcm60 sometimes, but not too often

Still on the lexicon LXP-1, MXP 100, SPX-90, Alesis Wedge, DOD spring reverb, and a couple effectrons for outboard. In the box reverb is still Dverb.

I just finished an acoustic record where I only used room mics for reverb. Much of the record had 3-4 people playing at once, but on songs with overdubs, I used the same room pair to mimic everyone being in the room at the same time. I added some tape delay to a couple tunes.

My TC M3000 is my go to for most reverb duties. There are a couple really nice, realistic patches I like a lot. Piano room 3rd row is a favorite. I have a passive plate that I should use more often than I do, but its pretty cool (as long as I EQ the return). PCM 60 is a simple favorite too.

I probably use less reverb than anyone here. It's subtle 95% of the time.

I've only used outboard units, but as far as digital goes, I haven't liked any of the newer higher resolution stuff (like Kurzwiel)

My main verbs are the Alesis Wedge and the Roland SRV 330. I think I might like the Roland a little better. When tweaked right, both of those boxes can give a really cool, dark and realistic sounding space.

I haven't used the uad emt 140 in a loooong time as vintage verb seems to work on everything, but on the current project, it's perfect.

on the last project I recorded banjo, violin, and some percussion overdubs in a giant industrial ice storage facility tht was converted into an art space. I had them close Mic'd in one of the upper floor hallways, which was pretty dry, then opened a door to a smaller, super-echo cave & a much larger room with a long decay. had mics in each one...turned out pretty amazing.

I use a sound workshop 242a with an adm Super Time-line at home, and tend to reamp through guitar pedals for verb as well.

I just tend to use the stock Air Reverb in Pro-Tools, it's pretty twerk-able for most things.

I use the Freq-echo quite often for a little ear candy, Definately have to try out the Vintage verb with all the recommendations.
