ToneBoosters Reverb is a studio-quality, professional reverberation AUv3 / IAA plug-in with an unrivalled workflow, unlimited creative use and a gorgeous, functional user interface.
With its close to a hundred adjustable parameters, the integrated LFO for parameter modulation, integrated compression and gating, and its shimmer reverb module it is by far the most flexible and configurable reverb on iOS.
The ToneBoosters Reverb app captures the microphone input and processes the signals in real time. To use it as a plug-in, use an AUv3-compatible host app such as Steinberg Cubasis, Apple Garageband, Audio Evolution Mobile Studio, Auria, AUM, or others. ToneBoosters Reverb will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins.
Key features:
- Studio-grade reverberation including early reflections
- The same professional sound as the acclaimed desktop version
- Full control over room size, width, density, depth, mass
- Integrated spectrum analyser showing direct and reverb simultaneously
- Integrated equalizer to shape the reverberation character
- Ability to modify reverberation time across frequency
- Compression, ducking and gating for dynamic reverberation effects
- Flexible, beat-synced LFO that can modulate almost everything!
- Dual pitch-shift shimmer module for out-of-this-world reverberation
- Reverb freeze option
- Random parameter option to change the core reverb sound on the spot
- Eco mode for lower CPU load on complex projects
- Program manager with shared programs between stand-alone, IAA and AUv3 instances
- Undo/redo, and A/B comparison
- Color themes for the user interface
- Max screen support in Garageband
- Legacy Inter-App Audio (IAA) support

Compatibility
Please note that given the large flexibility and number of parameters that can be modified with this reverb, the use of an Apple pencil or stylus is highly recommended for smaller devices such as iPhone and iPod touch.
What you should know:
- Inter-App Audio (IAA) can only use one instance of this app simultaneously. We recommend to use an AUv3 host to use multiple instances.
- Licenses acquired for this platform are not compatible with other platforms.

TB Reverb FAQ
Is TB Reverb free?
Yes, TB Reverb is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is TB Reverb legit?
✅ The TB Reverb app appears to be high-quality and legitimate. Users are very satisfied.
I got this under $10, and relative to the other options on iOS, this is fairly priced. It’s the cheaper alternative to Pro-R2 which is the hands down best option on iOS. And both are fairly neutral, all-purpose reverbs, though this does have a shimmer option. Sorta like EOS2 is the cheaper alternative to the Eventide reverbs for more ambient work. I also like the reverbs in THU. We don’t have many choices vs on desktop.
I’m happy I got this as it does have a different sound, quite neutral and unobtrusive. I think the initial preset is about as good as it can sound if you’re wondering. It has a very nice almost Fab UI, the one issue is the output is about 6dB lower than I’m expecting even with wet 100%. Easily worked around but makes it harder to shoot out vs other options quickly in AUM or wherever.
I like their Reelbus tape and the bit juggler and the free metering plugins as well. I have yet to try their other offerings.
Updating my review to 5 stars, to what it deserves!
I previously only gave this app 3 stars, based solely on its presets. I expected the presets to present the very best this reverb has to offer and was surprised at how mild the reverb was in the presets.
This reverb provides a lot of control to add some fantastic reverb to your source music. My rush to judgement was unfair. I’m back to make amends to the developer and those considering this reverb. In fact, don’t consider it, just buy it! You won’t be disappointed.
So, Apple and/or ToneBoosters, you can remove/delete my previous review with my apologies.
fantastic ios verb!
great all around verb with some more interesting deep dive settings. If you get only 4 time based filter plugins in your lifetime, get this one, shimmer from Bleass, Bleass delay and something for massive verbs like eventide blackhole or Alteza. do this and you’ll be set for nearly any basic recording and mixing situations.
Top 3 Reverbs on iOS!!!!!
We all have different tastes in reverbs, but the flexibility on this is rather unparalleled. I won’t list the competitors here; but I’ll say that you can pay a lot more and get A LOT less!!!!
The BIGGEST thing to realize is how light on DSP (CPU) this is. Reverbs are hungry. Anyone use H-Reverb on PC?
I use TB Reverb in a live context on a send, usually, within AUM and KeyStage. I can bypass a synth’s built in Reverbs (which can be SO heavy on CPU) and send my WHOLE RIG into one or two different reverbs. Save on CPU. Sound great.
Oh… features!
Multiple algorithms? Yes
Internal EQ? Yes
Shimmer? HOLY COW YES
Stereo field adjustment (width)? Yes
LFOs? Yep
How about a gate? YES
Swiss Army knife of reverbs at the cost of less than an actual Swiss Army knife!
Great reverb - had to restart device
Just purchased it thinking I’d get audio unit compatibility since it’s listed, but it doesn’t show up in my iPad Pro or iPhone 12 Pro as an AUV3 in AUM or Drambo....seems to still have a bug even though version history suggested it was gone. Sounds great but need bug fixed, then it will be 5 stars.
Edit: A reboot of my device made it show up, never had that problem before with any other music apps but it works now - changed review.
5 Stars🤘
Hands down the BEST reverb plug-in ever!
This is the best reverb app I ever downloaded..so versatile!
This app was working perfectly before the update. I used this in AUM as an audio unit extension.
..but now it can only be used as an inter app audio. I noticed that it made it more heavy on CPU because of the extra window of the app open outside of AUM.
Also, while messing around with it, there was a random feedback hum that rang off. I bypassed all the apps I had in AUM one by one and found this app to be the culprit.
Please get it back the way it used to be.
Revised Review (just a few hours later):
Wow, I’m not sure if the developers read my review, but I just updated and it now works like it did before. I was so bummed before because I only messed around with this app for a few days, but already found out that this was my favorite reverb app.
Thanks so much for the fast fix.
Worked great until..
For some reason the plug-in isn’t loading in any of my GarageBand files which is preventing me from exporting the song correctly. Idk if the update had anything to do with it, but it was just working fine yesterday, and hasn’t functioned correctly since it updated.
Recent updates...
...have proved this is one of the best iOS devs with one of the best reverb apps. And don’t forget their other apps. All top-of-the-line!
