01Overview

Rev INTENSITY takes a modulation-focused approach to reverb. Beyond the usual room and hall controls, it offers pre and post multimode filters, a feedback line with soft clipping, and an integrated delay modulation stage. A freeze function holds a moment of the reverb tail, and you can set how it fades when released. The developer describes it as an original effect rather than a model of existing hardware, and it is designed for sound design and for producers who want quirky, unusual textures.

Sound Shaping and Modulation

The engine is built around modulation. It supports up to 13 destinations, so almost any reverb parameter can be moved over time. An envelope follower can respond to the incoming signal or to a sidechain input, which lets the reverb react to the dynamics of a track. A programmable function generator adds custom animated curves that can drive the same controls.

The pre-filter and post-filter are multimode and resonant, so you can shape the reverb before it blooms or after, from gentle tone correction to strongly coloured resonant sweeps. Soft clipping in the feedback line can be pushed with extra gain to saturate the tail.

Workflow, Controls and Presets

The controls use descriptive labels, which makes it easier to see what each knob changes. A built-in chorus thickens the reverb without needing a separate effect in the chain. The window is resizable, and integrated tutorials are available inside the plugin.

A comprehensive set of presets shows how the features can be combined. Use them as starting points, then adjust the modulation routings to build your own sounds for sound design and experimental production.
