Slap Happy delivers the classic slapback echo, tuned to sit in the mix from the first knob turn. Width opens the repeat into stereo, Ambience adds short reflections for a deep stereo image, and built-in sidechain compression ducks the echo while the dry signal is playing. The result is instant vintage depth — without clutter, mud, or endless tweaking.

GHOST by ShaneRoss is a one-knob creative FX plugin designed to pull ordinary sounds away from the foreground and into something haunting, distant, unstable and paranormal. As the GHOST control increases, the source progressively loses its normal sense of presence and becomes more atmospheric, spectral and otherworldly. GHOST is designed for melodies, pianos, bells, guitars, synths, pads, samples, vocals, textures and other melodic material.
by Styx Audio
A rich stereo room reverb, pre-shaped to sit in the mix with no extra filtering needed — enhanced with saturation, compression, and dry-signal ducking that lets the room breathe without masking the source.

Styx Audio
Dirty, but mix-ready. Two complementary springs give this reverb a wide, lively stereo image, while tube and tape saturation add grit. Built-in ducking keeps it out of the way of the dry signal, and wet-only autopanning adds movement without extra routing. Turn Width to zero for classic mono.

Styx Audio
A premium stereo hall reverb designed to sound right from the start. Instead of endless parameters, Hall of Fame gives you a simple, intuitive workflow with a carefully pre-shaped sound. Built-in saturation, compression, and resonance control let it sit effortlessly in the mix while preserving the attack and clarity of the source. The result is a rich, spacious hall reverb without harshness, mud, or endless tweaking.

Carve Audio
Slapshot is a slap delay designed to add instant depth, width, and character, without the mud that often comes with reverb. With built-in processing under the hood, it keeps the effect clean, controlled, and easy to blend, making your tracks sound polished in seconds.
DSPTone
Several delay eras combined into one, from vintage modulation echoes to wide modern rhythmic textures, offering chorusing, flanging, doubling, and expressive delay. Inspired by classic digital hardware and modern modulation design.
JVAL Audio
Based on a classic delay trick, Stereoize takes a mono signal and turns it into a wide, textured stereo sound.
About Space & Modulation plugins
Space and modulation plugins place a sound in an environment or set it in motion. Reverb simulates the reflections of a physical space, delay repeats the signal at set intervals, and modulation effects such as chorus, flanger and phaser vary pitch or phase over time to create movement and width.
Reverb and delay are the main tools for depth. A short room reverb glues a drum kit together, a long plate sits a vocal in front of a wash of tail, and a tempo-synced delay adds rhythmic space without the density a reverb brings. Modulation works across the stereo field instead, thickening a thin guitar or widening a synth pad that sounds static on its own.
Both are easy to overuse. The plugins here are made by mixers who tend to reach for these effects on sends rather than inserts, and their defaults generally reflect that habit.
Reverb simulates the many overlapping reflections of a physical space, arriving as a continuous tail. Delay produces distinct, countable repeats. Reverb tends to place a sound somewhere, while delay adds rhythmic space and usually keeps the original more intelligible.
A send is the usual choice, because it lets several tracks share one space and keeps the dry signal untouched. Inserts make sense when the effect is part of the sound itself, such as a heavily processed guitar where the reverb is not meant to be separable.
A chorus copies the signal, delays the copy slightly, and varies that delay over time, which detunes the copy relative to the original. Mixed back together the result sounds thicker and wider, as though more than one performance is present.
