The SP2016 Reverb Black Friday deal from Eventide takes 50% off, bringing the plugin to $49 until Dec 1, 2026.
It is a reverb plugin built on the SP2016, the first programmable studio rack processor. Eventide says the 1982 hardware introduced the idea of the plug-in to pro audio, using EPROM chips that were physically plugged in under the hood.
The maker says the hardware was used by Dave Pensado, George Massenburg, Alan Sides, Roy Hendrickson, Jack Douglas and Mick Guzauski. Its reverb is credited on records by Talking Heads, Adele, Mariah Carey and Eminem.
The plugin brings that sound into your DAW with emulations of three algorithms. Each comes in two versions.
The Vintage versions follow the original box, down to the bit-depth. The Modern versions are brighter and more diffuse, and run at a higher bit-depth.
Eventide says the algorithms reproduce early reflections, the way echo density builds over time, and a smooth Gaussian decay on the tail.
Room is described as a no-frills ambient room. It is a mono effect with stereo outputs, and the extreme Pre-Delay range lets it handle reverberant doubling and single echoes.
Stereo Room recreates a large concert hall with clear, natural reverberation. The maker points to vocals, drums, acoustic guitar, strings and horns.
Hi-Density Plate uses dual pickups to simulate a bigger, heavier plate. Eventide says it can make vocals, guitars and percussive parts sound bigger and brighter than they are.
The Position control moves the reverb from the back of the room to the stage with a single slider, and your other settings stay put.
PreDelay, Decay, Position and Diffusion let you shape the reverb's structure. The EQ section has high and low filters with adjustable ranges, and the low filter can cut or boost at its set frequency.
Artist presets are included, with contributions from Dave Pensado, Richard Devine, Joe Chiccarelli, Sasha, George Massenburg, The Butcher Bros. and Buda and Grandz.
On Windows, you need Windows 10 or later (Windows 11 supported), 64-bit only, with AAX, VST2 and VST3 formats. On Mac, you need macOS 10.14 or later, Intel and Apple Silicon supported, 64-bit only, with AAX, AU, VST2 and VST3.
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, only a free iLok account and the iLok Manager for authorisation.
