SP2016 Reverb

Classic Room, Stereo Room and Hi-Density Plate

Reverb Time Machine

The SP2016 was the first programmable effects box available on the market. It introduced the concept of the ‘plug-in’ to the pro audio world back in 1982, with actual hardware chips that would be plugged in under the hood. Revered for its signature reverbs, the SP2016 was notably used by Dave Pensado, George Massenburg, Alan Sides, Roy Hendrickson, Jack Douglas, and Mick Guzauski. The lush reverb can be heard on countless hit records by Talking Heads, Adele, Mariah Carey, Eminem, and more. Now, 36 years later, this signature sound is available for your DAW.

Six Distinct Reverbs

The SP2016 has gained a loyal following for its natural and distinctive sound. The plug-in features three unique reverb algorithms—Room, Stereo Room, and Hi-Density Plate—each available in two versions: Vintage and Modern. The Vintage algorithms faithfully replicate the original hardware, including the lower bit-depth. The Modern algorithms are brighter, more diffuse, and utilize a higher bit-depth.

Sitting in the Mix

With the unique Position control, the ability to make a reverb effect that sits perfectly in your mix is as easy as moving one slider. This powerful tool allows you to take your listeners from the back of the room all the way to the stage while retaining all of your other settings.
