    Try to emulate a room, shortest decay, shortest everything.
    Therer are dramatic differences, some reverbs can't even produce a tight ambience without any delay etc.

    There're some significant differences in the attack and freq response. But some are pretty similar, I'll give you that.

    A bigger difference is spring reverbs vs plate reverbs. Those are so different everyone could hear them

    It depends on the internal design. Certainly if i give you an example of the schroeder Reverb and lets say the Ableton Reverb, you will clearly hear a difference as the Schroeder reverb has comb filters, which introduce resonances, which can be unwanted.

    THe best is to read in the manual, which algos were implemented, possibly after Hardware, or other ideas.
    And in that case they are clearly not the same.

    Or lets say Masterverb 6 by WaveArts and something from Valhalla DSP, the overall structure in the DSP part is completely different and as a result the outcoming signal will sound very different.
