Manny Marroquin Reverb: Reverb Plugin by Waves

The plugin offers six reverb types: Hall, Room, Plate, Chamber, Space and Ambience. Each has three sizes, and each size uses a different reverb algorithm, giving 18 reverb options in total.

After the reverb, a compressor with a slow attack and fast release shapes dynamics. A 3-band EQ provides wide low- and high-frequency shelves and a wide midrange bell, so you can tune the tail without a separate EQ on the channel. Pre-delay goes up to 500 ms, and a reverb time multiplier ranges from 50 to 200 percent.

The 'fun' section adds a thru-zero flanger that produces a silky tape flanging effect. The flanger can be used without reverb. A parallel distortion adds a fog-like layer of reverb to the signal.

The plugin is suited to use as an insert or on a bus, so it works on individual tracks as well as on shared send channels. The developer describes the 37 included presets as coming from mixers such as Ross Hogarth and Tony Maserati, which gives you starting points for common mix roles.
