The treble decay is the one thing that sounds weird to me with this plugin.
It always sounds kind of gated to me, compared to a real plate, I.R or other algorithmic plate simulation like Valhalla Plate.
I had to check this a number of times to make sure I wasn't imagining things.
The treble sustains loudly, and the suddenly falls off really fast rather than decaying smoothly.
Other than that, it sounds great. It just doesn't work well sometimes for drums and other percussive sounds.

Which one? They are all different. Each style decays like the original hardware it represents. But of course it can sound different when you're outside the decay range of the originals since we've never heard that before.

@@Synthlabs Hi. I'm only really familiar with the 140 plate, so that's the one that sounds odd to me. It doesn't seem to build up in density in the high end as fast as a normal one, and then it drops away quite suddenly. I use it in the around the 1-3 second range which is standard for a 140. It is a great plugin, it would just maybe benefit from a bit of tuning with the 140 model.

Well Chris, your plugs are too microscopic to even use. Should of worked on that before bringing out another overly done on every company just another reverb plugin. This is constructive criticism so you survive.
