Thanks for the heads up Steve. I just bought it. I have some old recording sessions where I used the PowerCore version. I see how the plugin compares.

Are any of you folks using this finding it better than Lexicon?

Not sure it's "better" (or worse), just different (and cheaper!). The Lexicon plugin set is very impressive. I have too many reverbs, I like them all in different cases. At some level, I'm not sure how much it matters for guitar - I tend to use them so lightly, I'm unlikely to be able to tell one from another in the end. In a good mix, I don't really want anyone paying attention to the reverb, but when you're mixing, sometimes one just feels right, sometimes it's another. Its nice to have choices. And this is a very professional option for someone who wants a good reverb at a relatively modest price, compared to many reverbs in the same class.

I have been using Lexicon Native Reverb, Waves IR convolution reverb, Pristine Space IR convolution reverb, Aether reverb, Waves Renaissance reverb, and TCElectronic VSS3 (Power Core in the past, plugin now). Tried some others.
I tend to like convolution reverb the best, but my recordings vary as to what works best. IMO: Lexicon is some what dark and thick sounding at the expense of some clarity. Aether is clear and clean but with less solidity to notes. VSS3 is somewhere in the middle of the last two I most often use convolution reverbs as they sound more natural to me, but the results are dependent on the quality of the impulse responses.

Now being a home recordist I have only used my iLok one time at a different location to record and mix, but it was indeed handy to have my plug in's with me. I can see where for professional's and particularlyly "traveling" producers it would be much nicer than carrying a computer back and forth. In the 5 to 7 years I have been using one I have never had a problem ("Knock On wood") and I did not get caught in the iLok update debacle, several years ago, as I found out about before updating and simply waited until it was fixed.

I mostly use the Bricasti, but it's nice to have options.

Yes I use my M7 almost exclusively unless I am after some wild verb effect
As I understand it there are free Bricasti impulse responses available from some web sight that Bricasti has authorized.

I have those IRs. There's about 100 of them.

Yep, I have those Bricasti IRs - they are nice.

The free Bricasti IRs are nice, and reasonably close to the V1 Bricasti patches. I have them loaded into an EPSi pedal that I can use in my pedalboard, which is pretty cool to have that kind of reverbs available live. Of course, you can't tweak them, and I think Bricasti allowed them to be offered because the IRs can't capture everything that the box does. But they're pretty impressive, especially for free. The same company sells T6000 and Lexicon IRs, too, so you can get the VSS3 and other sounds for much less than the hardware, too.

Nothing like the hardware no doubt but you can shorten or lengthen them, pre-delay, trim the start, etc.. Obviously with plugins it is a snap to run multiple instances with different IRs at the same time. Often I will combine reverbs - one reverb might have a better early reflection effect and another a better late reflection effect.
