A (stereo) gold foil plate reverb was used to make the programs in this library. They’re smaller than the more well known model plates used in parts I and II of this series, and said to sound darker. I think the reverb you get from this library is slightly darker than the stereo plates sampled for parts I and II, but not as dark as the mono ones. In my opinion this one is much ‘smoother’ than any of the previous plates too. It definitely sounds unique, but you can hear it for yourself by downloading and trying out the demo program, so do that now!

This release is really like a bundle of maybe 3 complete collections of different types of Nebula programs, plus a bonus effect. Most of these effects were made using a Marantz 4020 cassette deck, which has 3 heads and can record/play at double speed, giving increased performance (extended high freq range is one example), however some of the reverbs and one of the comps used the Tascam 122 mk3.

Essentially these are like alternate versions of those compressors (the C660, C254-E, and Rayphlex softer knee comp), but with the rounder, smoother character of tape with just a bit of high freq roll-off. In my opinion these alone are worth the whole price of this release. I've been wanting to try this idea out for years and I'm just really happy with how it came out. Whether you have those comp releases or not, I think you'll find these versions very unique, and useful.
