Where to get itAvailable from Goodhertzgoodhertz.com

Megaverb is a reverb plugin that recreates the iconic sound of 1980s digital reverb units — gritty, digitized, and stylistically "bad" — while adding modern precision engineering. It captures signature sonic textures like gated snares and dissolving tails with analog and digital lo-fi characteristics, and extends those sounds into new territory with advanced gating, ducking, and frequency shaping. Megaverb balances 80s character with contemporary control, making it easy to dial in everything from classic gated reverb to never-before-heard adaptive reverb effects.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Four reverb algorithms (A, B, C, D) with distinct character from quick and resonant to larger and cavernous
02Gated and ducked reverb with Transient, Classic, and Dynamic detection modes
03Lofi processing split into analog clipping and digital degradation (12 bits at 20% setting)
04Tempo-synced parameters: Verb Decay, Verb Predelay, Gate Time, Gate Attack Time, and Gate Release Time
05Advanced stereo controls: Stereo Crosstalk, Stereo Bias, Stereo Width Bass, and Stereo Width Treble
06High and low cut filters (Filter Range Low and Filter Range High) for frequency shaping
07Gate Range control with separate behavior in Gate Mode (mutes when not triggered) and Duck Mode (mutes when triggered)
08Wet, Dry, Wet Pre, Dry + Wet, and Dry + Wet Pre gate targeting options

Things to Try

  • 01Set Gate Mode to Gate and use a short Gate Release Time (e.g., 5–10 ms) for abrupt, chopped reverb decay
  • 02Use Transient detection with Gate Time set to a rhythmic note value (1/16, 1/8) for tight, percussive gating that stays open for exactly the set duration
  • 03Automate Wet Gain to create reverb throws by ramping gain up and down smoothly without clicks or pops
  • 04Try Stereo Crosstalk at 100% for hard-panned material to create a more natural, all-encompassing reverb sound
