What is its use ? In the fix I proposed for the processMono, I added a 0.5f multiplication to compensate this, since I want the effect to be equivalent to a bypass when the dry parameter is one, and the wet parameter is zero. I thought it was some kind of compensation for stereo signals, but you didn't add my extra multiplication when you fix the bug on the processMono function...
IIRC that's there to make the parameters compatible with the parameters for the old Freeverb plugin which this class emulates.
True, it's a bit odd that the value is 2.0, and I'm not sure why that's the case. But I obviously can't change its behaviour now, because that'd mean that all existing code which uses a Reverb object would suddenly produce different output.
