In the market for a new Reverb: Valhalla or Waves Gold Bundle (or both)!?!?!?

Hiya
 
I haven't really got a "go to" reverb
 
I never really liked BREVERB so I was looking around for Black Friday deals...
 
I was thinking Valhalla Vintage Verb and Room (which stay at a consistently good price - no deals)
 
But then the Waves Gold Bundle went on sale!
 
This contains (among other goodies) the IR-L Convolution Reverb, Renaissance Reverb and the TrueVerb
 
What do y'all think - anyone have any experience of these they can share to help my decision?

Valhalla for me as well.

Val is good. One day too late as it was $35 on Kvr but it does come up every month and goes quickly.

Valhalla does not discount but people do sell used plug-ins at KVR.
 
FWIW, Valahalla installation is much easier than your recent Waves experience.

Ah, I see

In that case I think I would prefer to support the guy making the Valhalla stuff - especially if the install is smooth!!!!!

I like both the Valhalla reverbs and the Waves ones. I bought the Gold bundle on sale a couple of years ago (or was it Platinum) and I have had so much use out of those plugins its unreal. It's worth reading all the manuals because you get so much more out of them. There are a lot of plugins in the bundle which I dismissed for ages because I didn't know how to use them properly, but after reading the manuals recently I use them a lot.

The convolution reverb it comes with is the "lite" version - it's still great but lacks some of the controls of the full version. TrueVerb is great. There's been times when I couldn't get the sound I was after with Valhalla and TrueVerb has been exactly what I was looking for.

If you're going to spend a couple hundred bucks, primarily for reverb, I would suggest that you should consider Aether as well.  Yes, it costs more than the two Valhalla units combined, and I have never used either VRoom or VVV.  But Aether would be my desert island choice (you know - pick one and only one) for an algo reverb.  Don't know if there are good seasonal prices, however, but I'd bet if you had it, you'd never suffer from a grass-is-greener sense of deprivation.

Nice reverb, dmbaer.

Jim recommends PhoenixVerb, which is $199.

B2, Breeze and Aether is on sale now at 2caudio.com My go to reverb is breeze which I bought for 75 bucks during last year end sale. I demoed both valhalla and breeze and choosed breeze istead.

++Valhalla.  I've never used VRoom, anyone have any reasons they would use that instead of VV?  Any thoughts on Shimmer?
 
I have VV and the great UberMod.  I don't generally use a lot of reverb but really like the VV sound.  I use UberMod all the time.

Room certainly has a lot more presets than VintageVerb. I hear Room as more modern sounding. I tend to reach for it on synths more than VintageVerb, which I instinctively reach for when it comes to vocals, guitars, drums etc.
