Over the years I've bought the Abbey Road plugs up to J37 and do like them a lot, but never bothered to check out the latest ones (Reverb Plates, EMI) ... now there is Vinyl ...
 
Vinyl is on sale and this is truly tempting (thanks, ZO for the video!)
EMI looks like YACE (yet another channel emulation), but I'd be happy to hear comments
Reverb Plates ... ditto, pls share view & experiences
 
I know I could demo, but my system is currently frozen (definitely beyond black Friday)
 
Just tried the "Upgrades" option on the WAVES pages and they quote me $478 to upgrade to the bundle (which DOES NOT look like a good deal to me) ... do you think Reverb Plates will go on sale?
 

Waves does sales all the time, you just need to be patient and check their monthly and weekendly deals.

Personally I like the Abbey Road Plates, it has a very nice sound.
 

I like all my reverbs:

Fleer, my friend, you may be a reverb slut. I have the same problem with drum midi and, maybe, electric pianos. The last one is straight out of left field.

If Fleer is a reverb slut, I must be a reverb skank.

And a drum & dum MIDI skank.
 

And an EZKeys & EZKeys MIDI skank.
