Hi,

I would also like to add that I've gotten really interesting effects by combining Breverb with CSR. The two share a lot of similarities, as they share the same goal (recreating vintage high end reverb). However, they do sound different and have captured different elements of Lexicon and TC. Breverb is more dimensional and clear; CSR is flatter but with a wonderful thick color. Sometimes I want mostly CSR but with dimensionality, so I'll run the CSR mix through Breverb running flat at 0% wet. It still heavily affects the signal providing the missing spatial imaging. It also works in reverse when I want more of a clear sound ala Breverb but the result is too clear. Adding in CSR at 0% wet, gives it a nice TC inspired diffusion. This is by no means an attempt to reduplicate an existing hardware unit. But the results are pretty fabulous, one plugin augmenting the other to create a rich dense dimensional reverb.
