The Valhalla Vintage Verb has a similar 3 modes for emulating old school digital tech (Vintage, 80's and Now), that works really well...
Yesss just used it in vintage mode as fx snare verb with a pretty short decay time blenidng early / late to taste and my yaw droped. Such a nice blend I only know from the Quantec Yardstick, which I guess still is very expensive??
That sort of thing is part of my snare bus and I use Valhalla Vintage Verb to do it. I'd consider it a necessary part of what I'm trying to do with snare drums. That's why I've been hesitant. Do I need ANOTHER 'verb plug when I've got Stereo Room and VVV and find myself not really lacking? Of course, I might just not be hearing the possibilities the better stuff affords!

So what’s in the magic sauce? Is it the analog modeled gritty dist that makes this thing sit and cut so well? Ive ran lofi, saturation plugins on verb sends before which is a cool flavor to add, but nothing with this type of result. Makes me want to demo more Eventide fx plugins. Hmm. Check out the H910

Are you just trying to add tail to snare drums or to change the character of the early reflections? I think this reverb is awesome because it has a dark characterful color but works on both acoustic and electronic sources without sounding particularly unnatural or sheeny. That said, even though the position control is elegant, I find the start/stop early reflection tailoring on VSR S24 (itself derived from TC 6000) to be more advanced than this and to VintageVerb or basically anything but a Bricasti, if you want to actually change the character of the early reflections. Even a Quantec is more about an earthy resonances model that can't always be made to fit with small room stuff. Sometimes I just use the early reflection engine of VSR because it's so damn realistic and flexible and not merely a series of delay lines or whatever and use a more colorful tail from a different reverb.

Are you just trying to add tail to snare drums or to change the character of the early reflections? I'm looking for it to give me a hint of extra size and sustain; a little tail, a little width, a small little move away from the front. Often, I'm putting all my snare mics into it at a blend that works well (often leaning on bottom mic and going a little heavy on the send from snare samples if the cymbal bleed in the top mic is bad). The reverb plus the snare mics all go to the snare bus and are processed together. I'm not going for super perceptible reverb from it, just a little to give the snare a touch more size and tone.

I have uses the VVV gated verb tucked in on snare bottom a lot, but have been getting away from it because it's not right for everything. What's your starting point? Also, Don Gunn's tom preset is super handy at time.

Just grabbed the SP2016... very glad I pulled the trigger.
I haven't had time for in depth testing, but on an electric guitar distortion lead guitar part, I was getting some lovely tones. I settled on the "room" mode for this track. In this track, the SP2016 worked out better for me than the Ultra Reverb, that I have had for a while. It just sounds a little more dense and dark or something.

So far I'm liking this better than most any reverb plugin I've used. The position slider works just like in the Oxford reverb, but this sounds a lot better and is a lot easier to use. I've tried most of the other new reverbs out now. Hoping to be able to try the UAD Ams and 224 next week. Would not surprise me if I continue to prefer stuff popular in 1982 since I generally prefer recordings from that era for listening.

I just rediscovered this after not being charmed by it when it was first released. It’s my new favorite for thick, instant 80s/Synth Pop “You are hearing the Reverb!!!” vibes on digital plates in the spirit of those Tears for Fears and A-Ha classics. (I know at least one of those was actually a Lexicon, but the SP2016 seems to nail the vintage sound better in plug form, even if it’s not the same algorithm.)
