PC ValhallaDSP VintageVerb v4.0.5

ValhallaVintageVerb is a postmodern reverb plugin, inspired by the classic hardware digital reverbs of the 1970s and 1980s.

ValhallaVintageVerb features

8 true stereo reverb algorithms.
3 color modes for dialing in the tone color and sonic artifacts of a specific reverb era.
The interface has been designed to be instantly accessible and user friendly.

Version 2.2.0 of the Valhalla VintageVerb brings a new Cathedral reverb mode.

The Cathedral mode is based on an algorithm I developed for the Spin Semiconductor FV-1 in 2014. The FV-1 is a fun little DSP, but it is severely limited in delay memory, and is optimized to work with specific reverb architectures. Cathedral was my favorite algorithm I developed for that chip, with a big diffuse sound and ensemble style modulation.

Bringing Cathedral into VintageVerb meant I could use a lot more delay memory, for a bigger more expansive attack and decay, as well as a more open and transparent sound. The original FV-1 algorithm corresponds to a Size setting of 50%, while sizes greater than 50% will get closer to a real-world cathedral. The VintageVerb version of Cathedral also has a much more comprehensive Damping section, which allows for high frequencies to smoothly decay away as found in large acoustic spaces. We’ve retained the ensemble modulation, with the Rate and Depth controls allowing the user to dial in the perfect amount of lush chorusing.
