Audio Damage announces that the product page of its upcoming reverb plug-in Eos is now live.

Eos is a smooth, modern reverb with three custom-designed algorithms, optimized for low CPU usage and ease of programming. Eos has a broad tonal palette and is capable of everything from extremely short, dense percussion room sounds on up to gargantuan halls.

Features :

• Three custom-designed algorithms: Plate 1 (mono in, stereo out), Plate 2 (true stereo), and Superhall (true stereo) built with modern production in mind.
• All standard reverb controls, including modulation rate and depth, attack, diffusion, and full control over the EQ and multipliers of the reverb tail.
