AKG BX 20 MINIMUM DECAY IS TOO LONG
LOVE THIS UNIQUE REVERB BUT THE MINIMUM DEACAY OF 2 SECONDS IS TOO LONG FOR UP TEMPO SONGS PLEASE MODIFY THE MINIMUM DECAY SO WE CAN USE IT IN MORE SONGS NOT JUST MID TEMPO AND BALLADS AUTOMATING THE TAILS AND OR GATING DOES NOT GIVE THE SAME EFFECT AS NATURAL DECAY. IVE RECORDED OVER 15,000 SONGS 17 # 1's TRIPLE PLATINUM OVER 2 BILLION STREAMS AND 500 MILLION YOU TUBE VIEWS. PLEASE FIX THIS

Best spring reverb i own
Lush and kind of dark sound.
Very usable but tok me personally a little time to get it dialed in.
Come back after a day and listen fresh and you will be pleasantly surprised!

Simple and straight to the point

Dive In the Room
Nice warm reverb. Organic room designing especially ducked by the kickdrum ;)
But not usable for al purposes...

UAD makes the best Reverb
I am impressed by the rich and smooth sound of this reverb

Nice subtle spring
Quite a subtle, hi fi spring, sits in the mix really nicely. Only downside is that I'd prefer a bit more variation in sound between tank A and B, but regardless it sounds great
M. Kempter
Lovely Springverb
I love it but use it not often. Would choose it more if the decay time would be a load shorter. Please. It works with a gate behind the verb, but hey.

Unique
Unique, useful in specific situations, but far from versatile.

Sounds great
This is a fantastic spring reverb ... I use it on vocals and guitars and it brings beautiful "air" to my productions ...
J. Ljungdahl
Beautiful reverb
Get so inspired dialling in the tone so that I spend too much time in the console instead of tracking the guitar parts :-) The 4 star rating comes from it using so much DSP/PSM
H. Sunbring
Big, warm and wide
The bx20 is by far the best spring plug-in I have tried. It made an instant aprovment of my mixes.
The only thing I miss is the option for some extra steps shorter decay.

Great Sound Comes With Great CPU Usage
This reverb has A LOT of character. I love the sound of it and as an ITB mixer I cannot hope for better spring reverb sound. The downside with the awesomeness is that it takes quite of bit of CPU off my Apollo Twin Quad. So definitely put this one on an aux channel if you fancy saving your UAD computing power.

Gorgeous if not terribly versatile
Fabulous, deep ambience with more actual controls than any hardware spring I ever used. Having a host of other digital reverbs it doesn’t bother me that it isn’t particularly versatile. It’s a “best of breed” box. It doesn’t try to be anything other than a spring verb. If you need deep enveloping reverb get this but don’t expect it to be your only verb unless you’re into down tempo dream pop. :)

Interesting how a spring can sound so natural
When I was a small child, my father installed a steel spring between two hook screws on the underside of our kitchen table to accommodate an extra table leaf. I soon discovered the spring made a delightful sound when plucked. Years later, I learned guitar amplifiers incorporated such springs to simulate reverberation. Now, full circle: A digital emulation. Click the "wet solo" button and dial down to nearly dry, and you'll get the closest sound to a natural space like a forest, or the banks of a stream.

Beautiful sounding
I like the AKG BX 20 Spring Reverb sound. It can give you that bright clang or that deeeeep dark ambience that penetrates the background.

Ground control to Major Tom...
The space´s sound, the spatiality that you can create with this AKG reverb, exceed any expectation. You can use this reverb as a traditional spring reverb or... use it as incredible creative instrument for create ethereal mixes and sound images.

Sounds good but decay is way too long
Sounds good but decay is way too long. You either have to run a upward compressor sidechained on the effects buss or any other type of - sustain plugin to remove the reverb tail. Good plugin but come on you could have added extra features to gate the tail or something else to shorten the reverb time.
