Eventide Blackhole reverb plugin now 60% off in limited-time deal

Eventide has announced a limited-time discount on its widely acclaimed Blackhole reverb plugin, now available for $39, down from $99 until April 6. Known for its expansive and unconventional sound design capabilities, Blackhole remains a go-to tool for producers seeking immersive spatial effects.

Unlike traditional reverbs that emulate real-world environments, Blackhole is designed to create entirely new sonic spaces. Its algorithm allows users to push beyond natural acoustics, generating massive ambient textures, evolving drones, and atmospheric soundscapes. At larger sizes, the plugin delivers long, smooth reverb tails ideal for pads, strings, and guitars. At smaller settings, it can subtly enhance vocals or add depth to drum elements.

Originally developed as an algorithm for Eventide’s flagship hardware units like the DSP4000 and H8000FW, Blackhole earned a reputation among engineers as a “secret weapon” for ambient processing. It later evolved into a popular stompbox effect before being refined into its current native plugin format.

The plugin features over 50 presets, including artist-designed options, offering a quick starting point for both subtle mixing tasks and experimental sound design. Key controls such as “Gravity” allow users to reverse the decay envelope, while the Kill Switch enables isolated reverb tails for creative automation effects. Additional tools like Ribbon control and Hot Switch provide real-time parameter modulation, enhancing performance flexibility.

With support for mono and stereo configurations and compatibility with Native Instruments NKS, Blackhole integrates seamlessly into modern workflows.

With its deep sound design potential and significant discount, Blackhole continues to stand out as a versatile reverb solution for producers pushing beyond conventional mixing boundaries.
