VintageVerb has all these and more, including a “COLOR” control that provides the tonality of the 70’s, 80’s and a “modern” sound with clean modulation. These were algorithmic devices rather than sample-based convolution units like many current reverb plug-ins, and had adjustments for decay time and predelay, damping control of high and low frequencies, and often EQ and modulation controls. The VintageVerb is a tribute to the classic (and expensive) hardware digital reverbs of the 1970s and 1980s. In this case, however, the intent was to simulate the tones and ‘defects’ of early digital reverbs. His ‘motto’ is “bigger and better sounds are more important (and fun) than exactly duplicating physical reality”.
Valhalla vintageverb update#
It is a minor update but includes one new reverb mode (Chaotic Neutral) and is the first VintageVerb available as a VST3 plug-in.Īs I’ve noted in other reviews, Valhalla (a.k.a., Sean Costello) makes plug-ins that create a wide range of reverb and delay effects with some pitch shifting, modulation and other sometimes wild effects thrown in. I just checked out the latest Valhalla VintageVerb, version 2.0.2, which replaces version 1.7.1 (Sean’s version numbers are always a refreshing surprise!). Valhalla DSP is a developer of excellent audio processing tools as already noted in several earlier Gearslutz reviews. Valhalla VintageVerb 2.0.2 from Valhalla DSP
