    Voxengo Pristine Space, very light on CPU and supports up to 8 chanelled IRs, zero-latency and basic IR processing, but you need some IRs first and it's only 32bit.
    Perhaps Liquidsonics Reverberate, although I don't have good experience with that, quite lot of CPU spikes.

    SIR2 is good too. :thumbsup: But Pristine Space is my long-term favourite

    If you don't insist on convolution reverb, get Aether or Breeze by 2cAudio (search for "The Perfect Storm")

    I like RedWirez Mix IR if your wanting to use multiple IR files at once.

    Next to that, if you just want to use one IR at a time but insert multiple instances. Reflektor that is built into NI Guitar Rig is awesome. Guitar Rig is actually designed to be a multi effect plugin, not just a guitar processor. Hence the Studio Processors built into it. And you can just chain multiple processors together in Guitar Rig, or load multiple instances of the vst itself in your DAW.

    Next if you want a more studio processor type IR reverb, I like Liquidsonics Reverberate for that.

    And there is always Waves IR-1, which there is plenty of bonus IR files made by outside companies that can be loaded into Waves IR-1! Like the Acousticas collection of IR files can be loaded directly into Waves IR-1, including the presets.

    As Andrew said, if you don't need a convolution verb, 2C Audio has some fantastic plugins. B2 was the best purchase I made in 2012- it is fantastic for everything from orchestral to pop as well as sound design. B2 seems to be a general favorite over at vi control and gearslutz out of all of the algorithmic reverbs. At any rate, if you must go the "free" route, Breeze and Valhalla are great too while you wait for a team to release B2.

    Yep, I thought about buying B2 after getting accepted to university to receive their 50% educational discount. I might consider it again :thumbsup:

    For 50% off, I'd definitely pick it up when you can! If you do, look up Den's B2 presets- I prefer the built in Berlin Hall for most slow orchestral stuff but his presets are a great starting point in most other situations.

    ValhallaRoom and SIR2. Maybe the free AriesVerb 0.4a (cause it's pretty bad-ass for being free).

    Having a huge/diverse/good quality IR library helps.

    +1 Aether/Breeze
    +1 Lexicon PCM (one of my all time favorites and truly a beautiful high quality reverb)
    +1 112db Redline

    Waves IR1 & Waves IR-Live are both great for convolution as well as LiquidSonics Reverberate and Voxengo Pristine Space.
    Rob Papen RP-Verb isn't mentioned as much and is better than most reverb plugs I've heard.
    Magix Variverb II is also a great algorithmic reverb plug.

    There's also Soft-Tube TSAR-1 :wink:
    Even NI RC24/RC48 are GREAT Reverbs with a very cool spectrogram that allows you to see what the reverb is doing in real time. Definitely worth checking out.

    Altiverb is an IR reverb and the best, and easiest to use is the IR reverb is Wizooverb W2: http://www.kvraudio.com/product/wizooverb-w2-by-wizoo

    2CAudio is good and I also like the Lexicon plugs (they're awesome). Then Native Instruments also put out the RC24 and RC48 plugs and though they have a simpler interface and not always as many settings as the Lexicon I think it's a great verb. Valhalla also makes some awesome and cheap reverbs. However none of these are convolution reverbs if that's what you're looking for. LiquidSonics Reverberate can fit that bill and if you use Cubase then you can use their convolution reverb.

    I've been dying to hear that Softube plug-in but it's not available cracked and money is really tight.

    I will add Perfect Space (it comes with SONAR): it has some nice built-in IRs (you can also add your own) and other features.
