Capitol Chambers is a hybrid reverb plugin that recreates the sound of Capitol Studios' legendary underground echo chambers using breakthrough hybrid technology combining sampled impulse responses with algorithmic DSP.

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

Key Features

01Four echo chambers with distinct speaker types and acoustic characteristics
02Four microphone pairs (Altec 21D, RCA 44, Shure SM80, Sony C37A) with dynamic positioning
03Dynamic Room Modeling technology for nearly infinite ambient possibilities
04Low-cut filter (80 to 750 Hz) plus three-band EQ with Bass (125 Hz), Mid (500 Hz proportional Q), and Treble (5 kHz)
05Pre-delay (0–250 ms), Decay control (naturally 5–9.5 seconds, reduced to minimum 1 second algorithmically), Dry/Wet Mix, and Width
06Presets from Grammy-winning engineers and artists including Al Schmitt, Darrell Thorp, Frank Filipetti, and Mark Linett
07Hybrid impulse response and algorithmic DSP combination
08Wet Solo mode for 100% wet send/return processing

Things to Try

  • 01Set Mix to 100% or enable Wet Solo to clearly hear the effect of Position slider changes on spatial and tonal characteristics
  • 02Use higher Predelay values to help clarity of source stand out before reverb starts
  • 03Rotate the Filter knob clockwise to reduce low frequency content and minimize muddy bass going into the chamber
  • 04Drag within the Chamber View to reposition microphones, moving closer to speaker for tighter present sound or farther for more diffused room
