Best Quadraverb or other characterful digital reverb plugins?

[kidslow]

I cannot compare them to Quadraverb or any other OTB devices or emulations, but of the lo-fi digital reverb plugins I have tried, these two are distinctively digital, fun, characterful, and fly under the radar.

Schulz Audio JP-ME-1 (free) https://schulz.audio/products/jp-me-1
ReFUSE Bucketverb ($29ish on sale) https://www.refusesoftware.com/cheeseverb

Bucketverb has a much wider range, but can't argue with free on Schulz (apparently emulates a Yamaha EME-1). In my experience both vendors update their plugins regularly and are responsive to feedback.

Korneff Audio has Micro Digital Reverberator which is based on the MIDIVerb and MIDIVerbII. It's IR-based [these reverbs didn't have modulation anyway] and is missing the Bloom algo. They're also apparently working on a pure algorithmic version with the Bloom algo at some point. My understanding is these are pretty much the same algorithms as in the Quadraverb (I have a GT version in the basement I haven't turned on since college).

I’ve never heard of this developer, any good? This looks very interesting

They're a solid developer with good support.

Sknote has one. Its my goto after Vallhalla Room.

You can find Quadraverb impulses on the net, too, to use with your favourite convolution reverb.

unfiltered audio's BYOME/TRIAD has a module called "LO-FI REVERB"
their "take on a Schroeder Reverb" (as can be read in the manual)

There is no plugin emulating the Quadraverb yet. Always looking out for one. I wish i hadn't sold mine in the past!
There are IR's but yeah, that's not as flexible to me.

Uh, that's a model of an EMT250, which is completely unalike a Quadraverb

OP wasn't asking for *only* emulations of Quadraverb, so the question is does the sKNOte meet the "reverbs full of old digital character" side of the equation?

Oh, I have these. I’ll pull it out and see what we’ve got.

This is a character reverb nothing to do with Quadraverb....

A Quadraverb and a Rev250 walk into a bar. The bartender says, character reverbs only! Does either of them leave?

Double post

Im thinking character in these cases is probably 16 bit limitations.Had a Q verb back in the day....sounded great to me. Run Vallhalla through TAL DAC... .choose your bits. Instant chacter verb

Tai Chi

UAD 224
TENS
Vintage Verb
Micro Digital Reverberator
Supermassive

One of my go-to tricks is to use Bitwig's Reverb and put something fun inside the Tank or Wet FX slot, like Eventide's Crushstation.
