Reverb types

The FAS-FX Reverb plugin comes with a lot of presets. The presets are based on several algorithms (reverb types), such as Chamber, Hall, Plate, Room, Spring, Tunnel and Studio. Some of the presets are modeled after famous reverb units. For example, the London Plate preset is probably based on the EMT 140.

True stereo reverb

"The plugin keeps stereo sources separated, so a stereo orchestra in your virtual concert hall will have individual instruments or sections placed accordingly on the reverb sound stage." source
