The Levels suite

Wallace Reverb

FORMAT AU · VST3 · Standalone£14.99Early-bird

A reverb with a full dynamic EQ on the tail - six bands, each with its own distortion. Shape and dirty the wet only; the dry stays exactly where it was.

A reverb built on a custom 8-line feedback delay network (Plate / Room / Hall), feeding Denzel’s dynamic-EQ + multiband-distortion engine applied to the wet signal only, with a per-band external sidechain. Brain-free in v1.

Early-bird pricing

These are launch prices and they will go up as the suite fills out. What you buy now is yours at that price for good: every future update is included, including the versions that cost more later. There is no subscription and no upgrade fee.

what's in it

Every control, and what it's for.

Controls marked Brain are the ones the Analyser can set for you on an ANALYSE pass.

01

Reverb core

Reverb type

Plate / Room / Hall - FDN tunings (base delay scaling, Decay→RT60 range, tonal damping bias).

Decay (RT60)

Tail length.

Size

Scales the delay-line lengths (space / density).

Damping

How much faster highs decay than lows.

Diffusion

Input-diffuser allpass amount (smooths the onset).

Modulation

Per-line delay LFO depth - breaks up metallic ringing on sustained / tonal input.

Predelay

0–250 ms delay line in front of the FDN.

Wet/Dry

The final mix (last reverb knob). out = dry·(1−mix) + wet·mix, then output gain + polarity.

02

Wet processing (Denzel engine)

The EQ + distortion shape the wet only; the dry path is untouched.

Phase (all-pass) + MAG/PHASE

The wet EQ carries Denzel’s full engine, including 2nd-order all-pass Phase bands - unity magnitude at every frequency, rotating phase up to 360° around freq (Q sets tightness) without touching tone or level. On a reverb this de-combs the tail: an all-pass turn can uncross a metallic, phasey wet signal against the dry without any tonal EQ. The MAG / PHASE toggle above the curve swaps the graph to the summed phase response (−180°..+180°, same coefficients as the audio) so you can see the rotation you’re applying.

Dynamic EQ (×6)

Static + upward/downward dynamic EQ on the wet tail (identical to Denzel’s engine).

Multiband distortion

Per-band drive shapers Saturate / Drive / Bitcrush / Wavefolder, oversampled where needed.

Sidechain (SC)

Each dynamic band can key detection off an external sidechain input instead of its own energy. Standard use: duck the reverb tail from the dry source. Falls back to internal detection when nothing is routed.

Issues panelPlaceholder

A styled placeholder reserved for a future brain-driven clash/phase list. Wallace links no brain in v1.

quick start

Four steps to a sound.

  1. Insert on a send/aux (or an insert with Wet/Dry pulled back).
  2. Pick a type (Plate / Room / Hall), set Decay (RT60) and Predelay.
  3. Shape the tail with Size, Damping, Diffusion, Modulation.
  4. Optionally EQ / drive the wet with the six dynamic bands - e.g. duck the tail from the dry source via a band’s SC toggle.

Not currently suitable for Pro Tools

These are AU and VST3 plugins. Pro Tools only loads AAX, which these aren't built as - so none of the suite will appear in it. Please check your DAW before you buy - once you download, the sale is final.

Where it's confirmed to work

Honest version: this is a one-person operation, so it has been properly tested in the DAWs below and not yet in the others. Not tested yet means exactly that - not that it fails.

"They share with each other" is the ANALYSE pass, the clash matrix and the AUTO settings. Where a DAW keeps plugins apart, every plugin still works perfectly on its own - they just can't pass measurements between them, and nothing breaks. Ten-second check in any DAW: put Analyser on two tracks, turn one to master, and see whether the second track appears in its overview. Tell me what you find and this list gets updated.
