With all the talk about the new Eventide Ultrareverb and the Acon Digital Verberate I got in the mood to play around with the reverbs in my collection. My personal favorite is ValhallaVintageverb, but I was listening to track I made a couple of years ago and just loved the reverb on my vocal. Guess what it was...(drum roll)...Sonitus Reverb! I'm also always impressed by the Variety of sounds Epic Verb, which is a great freebie. I also love Valhallaroom, but I don't think I'm getting everything out of it. I must admit I haven't worked with Breverb as much as I should. This is what I do now when I start to feel a case of gas coming along. I open up all that I currently don't use and discover some nice tools for free.

That sounds like a great antacid for a case of gas!  I still love Valhallaroom but the Sonitus is a killer verb with a lot of control.
 
I kinda gave up on Breverb as it sounded a little too metallic although I did not pursue it any further.

I love ValhallaVintageVerb and also ValhallaRoom. But I think Breverb can be great as well, especially on synths or for when you want an "effect" reverb rather than something natural.

Yeah, I'm sure Breverb deserves more of my time. I read great reviews on it everywhere. I only have the Sonar version, but it seems to have all of the control I would need.

I think I purchased the full version when Cake had an upgrade on Breverb I just didn't do anything with after I got it. That is a great idea sharke, I hadn't thought of using it as an effect vs. a room. Gotta give that a try!

ValhallaVintageVerb has become my goto and all around favorite. I tried for the longest time to work with the copy of Breverb that came with Sonar. I kept thinking the same thing; it has a Metallicy sound to it.

Check this out.
 
IMHO each reverb has a different sound and sound good on different instruments. I think Breverb needs a lot of tweaking to sound good. I like Breverb on Session Drummer. 
Sonitus reverb sound good on vocal. The short and sweet preset is a good starting point.
Breeze sounds good with Ivory2 and true piano. However I am still tweaking around to make it sound perfect with my new toy the pianoteq5. 
I am still demoing Ikmultimedia CSR and think quite highly of it.

I really like BReverb and don't feel it's metallic at all. On vocals, I often start with the "a capella vox" preset and adjust that a bit. It's definitely more of a "reverb" sounding reverb than a "natural sounding space" reverb, just as VVV which I also like. I tend to use impulse based reverbs for natural spaces, although ValhallaRoom is good in small doses.

I use two of my bundled reverbs 90% of the time. When I get bored or feel lazy, I can always dig out one of the 3rd party ones. Valhalla is a long time favorite of mine.
 
So is IK's CSR, which is as close as it gets to instant gratification this side of Lexicon. In fact, CSR is probably the first thing I try if I venture down the 3rd party plugs menu. I rarely have to go any further.
 
I do love my Lexicon but I haven't connected my iLok in months now.
 
The Sonitus plugs in Sonar have always been underrated.

Vvv for me, love it and ql spaces. Sonitus pretty good too. Still can't get on with breverb, definitely not on vocals, I agree it's a bit metallic sounding for some sources.
