I am far too much of a sucker for deals. H-Reverb was one of the "X-tra off just for you !!!111one" deals from Waves for me. I grabbed the demo, but had little time to mess with it since family was down for Christmas. At the end of the sale I said "Oh fine" and bought it. It sounded pretty good the little I played with it and I would really like a nice synthetic reverb that I can lock to the tempo and use for general purpose stuff.
 
...well this ended up being like every other synthetic 'verb which is to say unable to do good hall sounds for drums. They sound splatty on the low end, as ever. A good IR of a real hall sounds great, but I can never get a synthetic reverb to come close. I really should stop trying, I clearly like real reverbs and I have two really good ones (IR-L and Spaces). However I keep messing with synthetics and never being happy.
 
Oh well, more expensive toys I never play with :D.

Try the new PSP 2445 reverb on the drum buss. Totally worth a listen..!

I've not tried it personally but it sounds decent. However, at this point synthetic reverb is kind of synthetic reverb, is there THAT much more originality in there? I'm happy to be wrong however.

I find Breverb 2 pretty good for synthetic reverb stuff but I usually favour IR based reverbs for anything I want big and natural.

Breverb 2 is great for small space emulation in my opinion. IR based reverbs are also great all around I agree.

Have you tried Valhalla Room or 2cAudio's Breeze?  I find both really nice for room verbs.
 
As far as H-Reverb I got the impression from the ads that it's more a sound-designer's tool.  IOW, it wouldn't be my first choice for natural-sounding verbs.

Daniel, is it significant in any way that you're from Salem and your post count is now at 666?

Welp...H-Reverb has so much under the hood tweakability that I'm tempted to say if you can't get what your after you're just not holdin yor mouth right while tryin.  That said my only real gripe with it is it's a dang cpu hog.  And how.

 I don't live in THAT Salem.. I'm in New Hampshire.. The one you're referring to is in Massachusetts.. I get that question all of the time!   But I'm at 668 posts now so I'm safe.. Whew!

Yeah, I know, but the joke doesn't work if you're in NH. 
 
Seriously, people ask you that all the time?  It only caught my eye because of the 666.  With that combo, I couldn't resist.

You see, Sycraft, your problem was you didn't buy enough reverbs! Keep spending, it's the only way out.
