What Is Sliding Cheesecake Records “Mantissa”?
Mantissa is a digital reverb plugin modeled on a 1978 studio reverb. It rebuilds the original’s eight reverb programs and chorus, including their default values and ranges. With Stepped turned on, the decay and filter faders move in the same 31 steps as the original. You can also switch to the brighter high end of the 1984 spec, or use Clean to remove the converter. It ships with 56 factory presets.
