Here's another preset for ÜberMod. I've been busy working on new stuff, and forget about this plugin. It's pretty weird.

<ValhallaUberMod pluginVersion="1.0.1" presetName="OverModulatedAmbience" Mix="0.275000006" Depth="0.83099997" StereoWidth="0.781499982" Delay="0.129999995" Feedback="0" Spread="1" Slope="0.948000014" Skew="0" Random="1" TapGain="0.5" Diffusion="1" DiffSize="0.104081631" DiffModRate="0.0370370373" DiffModDepth="0.624000013" LowCut="0.0854271352" HighCut="0.228643209" SpatialXover="0.190954775" DetuneRate="0.0640640631" DetuneDepth="0.0839999989" VibratoRate="0.06616541" VibratoDepth="0.467999995" OverMod="0.0404040404" DriveInGain="1" DriveOutGain="0.258333325" DriveNoiseGain="0.232222229" FeedbackRotate="1" SmoothingTime="0.0990990996" ColorMode="1" DelaySync="0" type="0.375" DiffEnable="0" Drive="0" DrivePrePost="0" Speed="0" InputPan="0.125"/>

This preset is a good illustration of how absurd something can sound when listened to in isolation, yet sound good in the mix. With this preset on an insert at 100% wet, it sounds kinda horrible: muffled, overly modulated, pretty crappy. Turn the MIX level down to 25%, and it acts like a pretty decent room ambience, especially on vocals. If you turn the DEPTH control down while the mix is at a subtle level, at some point it becomes less effective in the mix - even if the sound is way too lush when listened to in isolation.

This reminds me of the examples I have heard of the EMT250. The 100% wet sounds of that reverb, to my ears, are overly chorused, but this helps it out in the overall mix.
