Overview
The EMT 140 plate reverb is the rich, three-dimensional, lush reverb sound heard on countless classic recordings — from Motown to The Beatles to modern releases. Real plates are 8-foot steel sheets housed in fragile cabinets that require careful maintenance and an entire studio room. Heavenly Plate Reverb captures the sound with three voicings: Vintage Bright, Vintage Dark, and Modern Full — covering everything from sparkling, top-heavy vocal plates to dark, dense rhythm guitar reverbs.
