Will probably be bashed to the pit for blasphemy...and maybe just my burned out ears, but A/B test with several reverbs failed to get the plastic card vibrating.
Have several PSP plugins that have their without equal niche. The new reverb is excellent.
Have Valhalla plate and the other Valhalla plugs. Was easy to duplicate and excel the PSP unit with the Valhalla plugs, and others even freeware, both in depth and velvet texture of the decay. Granted a nice tail on PSP, but unless I'm using a solo instrument with a 4 second decay, reverb is a mute effect.
Meaning that the subtle tail several seconds into the decay is lost subliminal in any music production other than a spread out solo instrument, which can be easily achieved by a convolution engine.
Second opinion... The shorter the tail, the more a reverb specificity is a non entity. Cutting time frames down to practical, where is the advantage over many units each of us probably own already to excess.
Was a bit disappointed by the lack of eq control over the wet signal. Sensed a bit of granularity in the unit as well that I couldn't factor out.
Was kicked in the teeth by months of no income, though the bills never stopped. Put a quick stop on my GAS habit, hardcore truth that my family could not eat a hundred dollar plug. Got me third world disciplined out of necessity, and in retrospect, thank Lord Shiva for the harsh lesson.
PSP unit is excellent as are all of their plugins. Just can't find a reason to sacrifice a bag of rice for the purchase when I have an arsenal of unused units that can do the same thing and better in many cases..
Open to the hi probability that I'm clueless and missing something in the bigger picture. Wouldn't be the first time. If needed, PSP reverb is well worth the purchase price. Excellent reverb.
