Black Rooster Audio offers free Ro-Gold reverb plug-in for Mac and PC. Ro-Gold claims to be authentically modeled after a hardware classic that has been upgraded with a 24k gold plate for “the most luxurious vintage reverberation experience.” That’s quite a declaration. Is it worth it?

Black Rooster Audio’s Ro-Gold vintage plate reverb plug-in is inspired by the EMT 140 Reverberation Unit and other classic plate reverbs. Indeed, its plate simulation approach allowed the German company to capture the analog unit’s sound and feel as closely as possible.

Not only does Ro-Gold take the sound of those hardware classics to all major DAWs, but it also claims to capture the true tone of a solid gold plate. This 24k emulation allows anyone to set up their own retro room sound that is both warm and mellow. Users can choose between 10 damper positions placed after the plate reverb emulation to enable users to modulate the reverb tail with DAW automation.

The classic PRE/DELAY (0ms to 500ms) control determines the amount of delay between the dry and wet signals; following the classic approach of send effects that run in parallel with the mix channel, the DRY/WET (0% to 100%) control keeps the effect in-chain within the plug-in, without having to set up additional send/return loops; and the BASS CUT control applies a high- pass filter that cuts the bass at any desired frequency between 10Hz and 1kHz.
