What about the EMT 140 Reverb Unit?
The virtual plugin is based on the EMT 140 plate reverb. The original device was developed in the 1960s in Germany, and after its release changed from the ground the sound of music thanks to advanced spatial processing algorithms and ease of use. EMT 140 Reverberation Unit was a beast from every single point of view.
The world’s first plate reverb was brighter and more versatile than the spring reverbs and echo chambers that preceded it. EMT 140 reverb unit became part of every top studio’s gear list at that moment. It was a huge investment because you can buy a house with the money for the unit.
You can now have the legend in your DAW, without breaking the bank, or breaking your back!
Arturia completely recreated the sound of the device, transferring to the digital environment not only all EMT 140 circuits, but also a preamplifier with a vacuum lamp. As the original hardware unit the sound of the effect is full and warm, which is perfect for processing vocals, as well as gluing the mix.
In addition to emulating the original features, the free for download Rev PLATE-140 plugin offers a other features. For example, you can process the sound before it hits the plate of the device. This feature allows you to cut off the entire buzz without the help of third-party plug-ins. The plugin is also equipped with pre-delay control, a high-pass filter at the input, a chorus and an output post-processing section.
