Yeah I bought it. Sounds great! I love Shimmer Verbs. I've only used it on a Piano part so far. I also have Valhalla Shimmer but haven't compared the two. Either way, $39 is a steal. I couldn't pass that up. $39 for an Eventide plugin? Great price.

Exactly. It's one of those things. Suddenly, 3 months down the line you think, "I have a great plugin for this track" and then it comes in handy! I would never normally just buy plugins like that but I do have Eventides Black Hole and I love that so it was worth taking a punt.

Leaning, but those with Valhalla Shimmer could really help with brief comparisons !!
Agreeed!

Agreed x3!
Need to compare tutorials to see which is more versatile I guess, because both sound so good.

Well I looked at both and compared ui’s and they are identical in terms of buttons n functions

Hugely different reverb types, BUT must choose only one : Eventide ShimmerVerb @ $39. or R4 Upgrade from PhoenixVerb @ $29. Long term buy (not for current projects). On pre cost-saving basis, R4 is great option.
Is this a 'flip-a-coin' choice, or something notable to factor in ?
(edit) Oops ! Should have mentioned having Exponential R2. Likely this impacts R4 incremental benefit ??

I would say at this price point you should buy both. I mean, a pizza order and a few beers would probably cost more. Depends on how much of an alcoholic you are of course!

So true ..... comparisons here, with Valhalla Shimmer, make Eventide Shimmer Intro a solid choice. If R4 adds enough beyond R2 (for my capabilities) then easy add. THX !

Hey, is it possible to recreate the sound of Valhalla Shimmer with this ShimmerVerb?

I found it to sound quite different in one important way, the Eventide one was very heavy on the 'ocatving' effect whereas VH was more subtle, and like a lush ethereal tail which I preferred... But i'm sure the world is full of people who really love the octaving effect some shimmer reverbs create...
Both can be demoed, why not demo both at the same time and see which you prefer?

…
yeah - but people investing a bit of work in their own research would kill much of the premise of vi

Yeah absolutely agree with you there. I’ve actually got them both being demoed on my DAW at the moment and I do prefer the sound of VH but I think subconsciously I was thinking that with all the additional dials and buttons it might be possible to create the same sound as VH on ShimmerVerb.
Thanks for the reply, appreciate your thoughts
