“Hitsville Reverb Chambers adds real-sounding ambience. It’s hard not to smile when you hear the extra life these iconic chambers give to your tracks.”

Right Up There With the Capital Chambers!
A phenomenally musical reverb with great flexibility and control. It is so cool to nail down the Motown sound on your own recordings. It is awesome to A/B it with the Capital Chambers and hear the differences in vibe to your track. I've been in love with the Capital Chambers since I got it but now I have a new tool in the arsenal with the Hitsville Chambers. UA just keeps hitting Homers!

Not a good enough 60's vibe
Really nothing special here that you can't create with other chamber plugins, it sounds a bit too much digital and that's not what you want from something that's trying to simulate a 60's sound.

I'm using this on tambourines, claps, snares, vocals, and on the whole mix. I have about 20 other reverbs, and this sounds amazing! Along with some of the Lexicon emulations, this is one of my favourite reverbs. If you're looking for vintage vibe, it's unbeatable.

Fantastico sugli archi
Lo sto usando molto sugli archi e sulle voci. Rende tutto molto piu magico. Lavoro eccezionale

Works
Not as multiusable as Capitol, but different.

Motown sound
Great reverb! Lots of presets to play with to get you started. I have visited the Motown Museum. On the tour you get to peek at the attic reverb. So cool that the software modeled the attic.

Very Good Reverb
This reverb brings dry signals to life. It is so much more than just a reverb. It is a a very deep room simulator. Please do something like this for a symphony orchestra stage as well! ! !

Hitsville plugins
I work on several projects that lean towards Motown styles and these chambers are perfect for those. I also have the Hitsville equalizers and they too are great, in fact the mastering EQ is now always on my output bus.

My Favorite Reverb!
The Hitsville Reverb Chambers sounds so amazing. Not to mention it's a lot of fun to just play with. I love the Microphone options and the sounds you can create just by changing the parameters. I love it.

Reverb definitiva
Aun estoy alucinando con el sonido que consigo con este plug-ins , para mi es una absoluta pasada, tanto para la grabación como para practicar.

Wonderful Chambers
This sounds incredible - super realistic and lush. Amazing on vocals, guitars and drums! It sits nicely in between the Capitol Chambers (which really sounds like a chamber) and Ocean Ways (which really sounds like a studio). Thank You UAD

Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing.
Chamber Two is great for drums and One is good for piano. Gives your mix that old-school charm.

My favorite UA Reverb
First off, thank you UA for releasing this plugin.
I have the ultimate 11 bundle so I have capital chambers, oceanway, EMT, dreamverb, etc.. I use all of them. I like all of them. Then I got the Hitsville and I was so surprised. Right away I noticed that it just seemed to really lay into my mixes nicely. After trying it on multiple sessions it quickly became my favorite UAD reverb.
It’s GUI has a very familiar feel. Similar to capital chambers. It’s always nice to open a new plugin and have just be self explanatory right from the get go. It’s what I would expect from a UA plugin. Easy to use, easy to understand, the visual of a plugin can also be inspiring and I think UA does an outstanding job with everything they do. I’m
Glad I chose my Apollos.E. Bureau
Insanely good sounding
This plugin is incredible. I have the Capitol Chambers, Ocean Ways, BX20 and EMT140. I thought I didn't need this. I was wrong. This sounds incredible - super realistic and lush. Amazing on vocals, guitars and drums!
It sits nicely in between the Capitol Chambers (which really sounds like a chamber) and Ocean Ways (which really sounds like a studio). This covers both grounds quite nicely. I do a lot of mixing and production on things recorded in sub-optimal rooms, and most time I'll substitue room-mics on drums, reamp percussion with the Ocean Way or Hitsville. Simply because they sound so much better!
Thanks UA, and please please please make this room emulation (and the BX20) available on the Golden UAFX pedal!T. Burns
It's a TIME MACHINE
Like most, I have dozens of reverbs to pick from. But the Hitsville Chambers really have a unique vibe I hadn't heard before - except maybe on THOSE 60's records I love so much. That's why I say this is not just a reverb - it's a sonic Time Machine. Lovin' it.
E. Rudnicki
Perfection!
This is my favourite reverb! I haven't used anything else since I got this. It's just pure class! Add the perfect reverb and mojo in the one plugin, and it's so easy to dial it in. It's the first (and usually the only) reverb I reach for.
