Recording Studio C reverb

Do you guys can recommend any plugins for a daw to get close to the sound of studio A and C reverb? I REALLY love it in the Axe... the only issue I have is commiting to the reverb while recording.... would prefer if I could use the reverbs of the axe as a standalone plugin (without reamping, but on the fly)... what reverb plugin would be the best starting ground from your experience?

I've tried some Exponential Audio reverb plugins and generally they are the closest to the axe fx reverbs imho, but can't say for sure about those two types.
Fabfilter Pro-R is another good one.

Record a DI so you can use the axe fx reverbs later as you wish?

The Fractal reverb is actually available as a plugin https://www.fractalaudio.com/fas-fx-reverb/ - I must admit, I think, it is too expensive, and it does not seem to be updated anymore.

When I record guitar, I record the time based FX (delays reverb) on a separate track, so I have the dry recording and the reverb on separate tracks. That allows me to blend them after the fact, and I can even go for a completely different reverb, if I need to.

EDIT: A few other plugins that will do the trick: This one samples the Bricasti verb - It sounds really good in all demos I have heard https://www.liquidsonics.com/software/seventh-heaven/. There is also an even more expensive version. Valhalla Room is just very good and runs at a really good price https://valhalladsp.com/shop/reverb/valhalla-room/

FAS actually has a standalone reverb plugin: https://www.fractalaudio.com/fas-fx-reverb/

It seems like that's what you're looking for.
 
Have recently stumbled onto this reverb type. Is it based on or supposed to sound like a particular studio? Can't find any info to indicate what is supposed to be....
I thought it referred to Sunset Sound Studio's Room 3 or echo room 3; You know how Fractal likes to mess with the names. Sunset's rooms are designed for different reverb sounds and are pretty famous. A friend of mine used to work there and was telling me about it.

I know, but then it's like reamping and nothing I could adjust on the fly... but combined with the idea below this could be useful

tracking the FX separately sound like a great idea as a starting point
thanks for the suggestions - I am just not sure which one is most suitable for my purposes.. to me they appear all a bit more focussed on „artificial“ sound
reverb plugin from fractal unfortunately really seems like not supported any longer
 
I just commit to the effects I already have dialled in. I also dont revisit finished songs to see if they need anything lol. I understand not everyone works that way.

All the Valhallas are really good, easy to use, and totally worth their cost.

If Studio A and C are based on the M7 then there are impulse responses of the original unit available on line, which you’d be able to Los in an IR loader in your DAW.

But IRs can't reproduce the modulation of those reverbs (if there's any)
