However, consider this: the famed reverb chamber at Gold Star Studios Santa Monica – home of the famed Wrecking Crew studio musicians, Phil Spector’s original Wall of Sound, and the Pet Sounds album by the Beach Boys – is a 2-foot by 3-foot concrete room with an inexpensive 8-inch speaker feeding a cheap ribbon microphone, brand unknown, according to Larry Levine, engineer for Phil Spector and the Pet Sounds sessions. The reality of the world includes budgets, so forking over $700 for a single reverb isn’t exactly workable for every bedroom producer. As with all things plugin, there are freebies, modestly priced commercial offerings and state of the art premium extravaganzas. Unless you know what you want, and it covers a limited sonic range, you’re going to need a few reverb plugins at the very least.
