The Blackhole Black Friday deal from Eventide takes 50% off this reverb plugin, bringing it to $49 until Dec 1, 2026.
Blackhole is a reverb built to create spaces that could not exist in a physical room. Eventide says its soft attack and lingering, harmonic tails suit guitars, strings and pads at large sizes.
At small sizes, the maker says the same qualities add a sheen to vocals or turn a plain drum track into something stranger.
The algorithm first appeared in Eventide's rackmount DSP4000 and stayed a favorite in the H8000FW.
Studio engineers treated it as a secret weapon for decades, according to Eventide. It later moved into the Space stompbox, and the Blackhole VST now brings it to native plugin form for any instrument in your DAW.
Eventide describes two sides to it. One is extreme: space-warping effects and drones. The other is subtle: ambient washes and a backdrop that highlights key instruments without crowding the mix.
These are the features the maker lists:
The 50 presets cover rooms up to spaces as large as space itself, and they are meant as a launch pad for your own sounds.
Factory names include Biggest Reverb Ever, Dreamscape, Quasar Trails, Spaghettification and Darkmatter. Artist presets come from Flood & Alan Moulder, John Agnello, Jonsi & Alex from Sigur Ros, Vernon Reid and Richard Devine.
On Windows, Blackhole needs Windows 10 or later (Windows 11 supported), 64-bit only, in AAX, VST2 and VST3.
On Mac, it needs macOS 10.14 or later, 64-bit only, in AAX, AU, VST2 and VST3. Intel and Apple Silicon are both supported.
Eventide tests its desktop plugins in Ableton Live, Cubase, FL Studio, Logic Pro, Pro Tools and Studio One, and says they should work in any compatible host. No iLok dongle is needed. A free iLok account and the iLok Manager handle authorisation.
Yes. The Blackhole Black Friday deal takes 50% off Eventide's reverb plugin, bringing it to $49 until Dec 1, 2026. It is the native plugin version, with 50 presets and AAX, AU, VST2 and VST3 formats.
Gravity inverts the reverb's decay, which Eventide describes as reversing the arrow of time. It sits alongside the Kill Switch, which mutes the input so you hear only the reverb, and Mix Lock, which holds the wet/dry balance while you browse presets.
On Windows (10 and later, 64-bit) it comes as AAX, VST2 and VST3. On Mac (macOS 10.14 and later, Intel and Apple Silicon) it comes as AAX, AU, VST2 and VST3. A free iLok account is needed, but no dongle.
Eventide says it started as an algorithm in the rackmount DSP4000 and stayed in the H8000FW. It later moved to the Space stompbox, and the Blackhole plugin now runs natively in your DAW.
