This type of reverb does an amazing job filling out a mix spatially without being overly present. Little Plate is the best plate reverb VST out there in my opinion. It doesn’t offer many options in terms of control but that’s the beauty of it. All that’s required of the engineer is to add it to a reverb buss and set an appropriate decay time. If you’re looking for a plate reverb with more options than what Little Plate has to offer, Lustrous Plates offers more than enough flexibility. Released in 2019, it’s the most current plate reverb VST for 2020 and it’ll be hard for other companies to best it.Ĭompletely opposite the simplicity of SoundToys LittlePlate is their equally revered EchoBoy plugin. Both a delay and a reverb, EchoBoy offers some of the best diversity around when it comes to reverb VSTs. Within it you’ll find recreations of classic gear, as well as brand new concepts. Pretty much every aspect of the sound is customizable and just when you think there couldn’t be any more knobs to turn, the “tweak” button reveals even more settings.

This mass amount of options makes EchoBoy a little daunting at first. However, SoundToys has you covered with a vast library of presets, helping you get the sound you want quickly. The tape or “slapback” echo was a staple of 1970s rock and roll, and nobody did it better than Roland! Their RE-201 Space Echo was a reverb and delay unit that has made its way onto thousands of records.ĭue to its popularity, a hardware unit now would cost you well over a grand. However, Thanks to the world of VSTs and plugins UAD has created one of the best emulations of this reverb on the market. It comes with a pretty price tag, not to mention the fact that you need a UAD Apollo or Satellite to run their products. However, if your budget allows it you can’t get much better than this when searching for that psychedelic 70s vibe!įor the engineers looking for a more modern and scientific reverb, FabFilter’s Pro-R Reverb is the best VST of 2020.
