First heard on Peter Gabriel's 1980 track Intruder, gated reverb is an instantly recognisable sound that became one of the decade's most iconic production techniques, perhaps most notably utilized by Phil Collins on In The Air Tonight.
Typically deployed on drums, a gated reverb its a short blast of intense reverb that's abruptly cut off by a noise gate. While this effect is achievable using the stock plugins found in almost any DAW (here's a tutorial), Solid State Logic has developed a new plugin that'll help you instantly summon the classic gated reverb sound with a click of your mouse.
