Reverb with very unique over-the-top personality

I have a convolution reverb as well as a few very good algorithmic reverbs (Sonnox, IK, Wave Arts). The Eventide Black Hole has its own unique niche that the others don't fill. Rather than simulate rooms, halls and other natural spaces, Black Hole excels at cathedrals and huge, larger than life spaces. The feedback knob is a unique feature that allows reverb tails to go on and on. Infinite spaces such as those heard on recordings by artists like Steve Roach can be created with Black Hole, as well as ambient spaces heard on Brian Eno and Harold Budd recordings. The mix knob can be set to 100% wet, and with the feedback turned up, ambient strings/synth effects can created with a guitar, similar to guitar effects heard in the music of Hammock. Your imagination is the limit.
Black Hole is very easy on CPU! Far less demanding than some of the other reverbs I use.
