Dunno if I'd even seen it before. Interesting feature/price ratio. Have to let us know what you think.

I had heard about the Valhalla Room Reverb. It's very highly regarded for it's sound and simplicity.
Stumbled onto the Vintage Verb, and it seemed to have the features I wanted, with an even simpler interface. It's supposed to do old plates really well, as well as 80's digital plates. Exactly what I want. The comparisons steered me this way.
very excited.

Decent reverb was the one thing I truly couldn't find in a free plug-in.

Re: Bought Valhalla vintage verb
Yeah, there's some truly shit reverbs out there, even on the paid side. The TRacks reverbs are sorta/kinda decent if you learn how to dive into the advanced features, but at some point I need to up my reverb game. The default reverbs in Logic are

Re: Bought Valhalla vintage verb
The one bright spot in Logic is space designer, which allows you to load impulse responses for various other reverbs. Too bad nobody makes any decent ones for free. And Space Designer itself can be OK, so long as you rape it with other effects before it hits your earholes. And sometimes you don't want elventy-five layers of distortion, chorus and EQ when you just want a deep, lush verb. Bleh.

Re: Bought Valhalla vintage verb
Dude!!! Yes!!!! Yes!!! Fuckin hell yeah!!!!
This is awesome!!!! 80's smooth plate!!
I wish I had this effect on my pedal board.
Fuck!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!
I wish I would've gotten this sooner. Goodbye Roland.
This sounds better. Best $50 I've ever spent! I'm running like a ten second decay on the underlying placid copper phone tracks. It sounds like heaven. This is the exact sound I was looking for.

Re: Bought Valhalla vintage verb
Just listened to their demo... sounds really awesome! For $50 and a rave review by Mr. Reverb himself, how can you go wrong?

Re: Bought Valhalla vintage verb
I bought the VVV last night and fooled around with it for an hour or so.
I like how easy it is to use.
Some of my verb plugins are anoying and require reading a manual to figure out where to find parameter settings.
Definitely worth $50.00.
PSP Piano Verb is another good one for $49.00. I got the smaller, free version when I bought their L'otary rotary speaker plugin.

Re: Bought Valhalla vintage verb
YES!
Ajax, try putting a very long decay (10-20 seconds) on a quieter underlying track with the 80's smooth plate. Turn the pre-delay to zero.. It turns the whole thing into post-rock gold. fucking insane.

I need to stop giving away my secrets for post-rock wars.
This reverb is like the '94 Supra. This will decimate all.

I laid down the atmospheric background track last night. Got a huge base. A master base. I was masterbasting all night if you will.
Doubled the track, panned hard left and right. One side had Supermoon, Echoczar stacked with the Moog. The other side had M30 reverb, Echosex 2 stacked with Amnesia. Sounded huge! ....... but.... i think i'll be starting over.. .had some weird clipping going on through my effects loop and i wanted a clean sound not a broken up sound so starting over....
OH! And the girlfriend just told me she's busy for 4 hours on Saturday so i'll have FOUR hours to write and record!!!

LOL! I don't have a single song with a quieter underlying track... yet.
I'm planning on recording with the EHX C9 pedal. Because it only tracks quarter notes (8th notes at best), I'll be doing some background wash that will work well with the setting you're suggesting.
Playing slow is difficult for a punk like me. :-)

First song with the overuse of the VVV. I used the 80's smooth plate on pretty much everything. Thrilled with it. It's the exact tone I was going for all along
