Those lucky enough to own a Bricasti swear by them. Though not considered a celebrated vintage reverb yet, over the years, this particular reverb unit has gained quite a fan base thanks to its classy set of sounds and straightforward interface.

If you ask ten or so audio engineers to recommend a hardware reverb unit, many would point you in the direction of a Bricasti M7. It encapsulates a significant chapter in audio production in which digital effects proved their worth and flexibility the rest you could say is history. Modern algorithms, unlike the vintage algorithms and indeed the original hardware, use a higher bit-depth for cleaner reverb tails.Įventide SP2016 is more than just a plug-in emulation. The Modern algorithms for each reverb type are, by comparison, brighter and more diffuse. If vintage reverbs are selected, the effects will sound faithful to the original hardware. In the plug-in, all the reverbs have an option of two algorithms which achieve slightly different variations of sound. Like the original hardware, the SP2016 includes emulations of Room, Stereo Room, and Hi-Density Plate algorithms. Listen to our video review below to hear the SP2016 plug-in in action to judge for yourselves. Eventide says the reverb sounds in the SP2016 are based on a blend of art and science with effects sounding natural and distinctive.

In 2018, Eventide rereleased the SP2016 in plug-in form. Some believe the original SP2016 unit introduced the idea of a plug-in workflow in audio production as this featured hardware chips that users plugged inside the device. The SP2016 plug-in is a like-for-like emulation of Eventide’s original SP2016 hardware, which, back in 1982 when it launched, was the first-ever studio-centric effects box.
