Pad Reverb Shootout Part Deux

I know this is going to sound silly, but the dry clip sounds the best for that riff.

Yeah you BETTER duck!!!

My comment was out of love.

I liked the Maris in isolation

Meris and Fractal are best to my ears. Helix sounds like it needs more more.

Needs additional additional harmonic swirling and brightness. I wonder if any of the parameters can do that?

MXR sounds a little different from the rest.

Fractal and Meris are really close. Helix is just really quiet sounding? Maybe you could run that in parallel? MXR sounds pretty decent in it's own way but overpowers the guitar and sounds like you slapped a chorus on there.

I sold my HXFX recently after comparing to Meris and H90 on synths. The HX reverbs work fairly well for guitar but just tended to make a mess of things when presented with a full range synth for example. The Meris will take an entire mix of huge synth sounds and sound beautiful with a frigging huge hall reverb. The algorithms on the H90 are very hit and miss, but I do like the Hall for big ambient reverb.
