You can't go wrong with either Room or VV though. At times I follow it with a bit crusher for the same kind of downsampling effect. I know VV does the downsample thing, but I prefer the algos on Room, especially Lv-426.
#VALHALLA ROOM MIDI CONTROL PLUS#
All that plus the fact that the Valhalla costs only a fraction of the TSAR-1 price (even at 50% off!), I think Valhalla Room is a no brainer. It has a lot more controls for making adjustments to the early and late reflections independently. The Valhalla had many more presets, probably because of the additional room options, and they too were easy to mod. though, every preset had a wet/dry ratio turned considerably dry which I found annoying.
#VALHALLA ROOM MIDI CONTROL MOD#
The TSAR-1 had less, but I think the idea was to cover the general types, then the user can quickly mod those to their liking with the simple controls. Both had usable presets that get you in the ballpark quickly. transient response is the reason I picked up the convolution verb in the first place, and while the Valhalla still doesn't handle them quite as smoothly as TL Space, it is still certainly usable, where as I would probably avoid TSAR-1 for those types of applications due to the familiar algo-verb slapback issue. The Valhalla typically handled transients better than the TSAR-1.
I was able to more or less match the TSAR-1 sounds with the Valhalla, and in more than one instance the TSAR-1 was distorting when the Valhalla stayed crystal clear. I really like the layout of the TSAR-1, but in the end I still found Valhalla faster to dial in. The Valhalla has a bit more versatility offering more room sounds which is nice, but not a deal breaker for the TSAR-1 by any means. I wanted to love the TSAR-1, but I kept going back to the Valhalla. I'll just skip to the point: Valhalla Room wins! I've also been hearing good things about the Valhalla Room so I figured I might as well demo them both while I'm at it. with the current 50% off sale I thought I'd demo and pull the trigger if I liked it. Anyway, I've been wanting to add some new reverb for a while and have been eyeballing the TSAR-1. I've used them all this time not because they were amazing, but because they were reasonably priced at the time, they did what I needed, and I got used to them. I've had two go to reverbs for a LONG time: TL Space and CSR.
