Hi there,

This isn't an exhaustive list at all, but perhaps a good starting point..

I'm old school and like plates, so for plates the free LADSPA CAPS Plate
is very good and authentic sounding, a reasonable priced payware option is
the OverToneDSP RVB-500 which comes in a LinuxVST plugin format and it is
killer..

http://www.overtonedsp.co.uk/

I personally don't use convolution Reverbs so I won't touch that and leave
it to the convolution experts, as far as good free Linux algorithmic
Reverbs the Zita Reverb is very nice although not readily available as
either linuxVST or LV2 although there may be some LV2 ports floating
around, The MVerb (part of the DISTRHO stuff) is quite good and my
personal fave (again a reasonably priced payware) is the linuxDSP SR2b
which sadly seems to not be available in the re-formed OverToneDSP product
list yet so unless you already own it there prolly isn't a license key
available..

Some people like the Calf plugins Reverb and some don't, it comes as part
of the suite so it's probably worth a listen too..

Good luck on your search!
