Me Likey...
I have a bunch of Waves reverbs, plus some Avid reverbs and a few other verby plugins. I think I use this one more than all the others because of its natural sound. The interface is great and has some usable presets with real control over the details. It doesn't have that screechy nausea-inducing sound on the higher frequencies. The tail also has a cool retro vibe to it. It does dirty analogue and clean too. Me Likey.

Excellent
This is one of the best, if not the best, plate-reverb plugin I've ever used. Sound is very natural and clean, or you can use it to get a dirtier "vintage" reverb (compared to products by Waves and Lexicon). Will probably use on all of my mixes from this point forward.

Everything you need from a plate
The flexibility of this beautiful sounding reverb is astounding.
It sits effortlessly with mixes whether used obviously or subtly and can be a really interesting tool for creating soundscapes when used in a non conformist way.
It is definitely a must have in any production tool kit.

Just beautiful on vocals
I held of getting this for a while but am so glad I now have it as part of my arsenal. It literally adds fairy dust to vocals. I wouldn't turn to anything else for the shine and air it gives the human voice.

The best emulation I've used.
I invested in the TC system as I loved their DVR EMT plate but this is nicer and smoother. It is my go to reverb for so many things. I am still hunting out a real one but until then this fills the gap admirably.

Better than the rest
I've got the Waves Mercury Bundle, and nothing comes close to sounding as authentic as this plug-in.

In the mix
Best reverb I've had the opportunity to try, sounds great embedded in the mix. There are three plates to choose from - one of them will do the trick. My only regrets are all the others I've bought over the years...

Beautiful!
Without any doubt my best buy ever. So warm, rich and accurate.
If you buy it you'll be as happy as me.

Simple classic plate reverb
With the EMT 140 you get straight forward classic plate reverb sound. I found myself using the B and C plates more than the A and it's a really good idea to have a 3 "color" option. I don't have much to say because it just sounds good with no effort in most of the material. The filters are a really useful option. I have the 140 with the EMT 250 and the Lexicon 224 and my reverb plug in folder its complete.

Great Plate Sound
I have been mixing analog for the past 10 years.
I recently was forced to go back into the box.
It is plugins like this one that makes it ok!
I am actually selling my real plate because this plugin just works!
My plate is not an EMT, but hey... it's a plate.

Great Plate!
Recently I have purchased the EMT Classic Plate Reverberator, and I must admit, it's one of my best purchases so far!
It's a very widely usable plugin! I use it for tops like hihats, fx, etc. But also to create
warm "afterglows" on low-mid sounds, and vocals. I like it that all 3 reverberation time options have their own distinct effect on the designated source! I wouldn't know how the plugin sounds compared to the real deal, since I never got to use the original hardware, but for me it's important that a plugin brings an addition to the music that I make. And the EMT 140 does its job perfectly!
Thank you UA! :-)

awesome
This was one of the main reasons I got into the UAD platform, and it doesn't disappoint. When you want that rich evocative 70s plate sound, this blows all other digital plugins away.
On the one hand, it definitely has a signature sound, and sometimes you want a slightly more transparent verb. But it can be very forward and prominent in a mix, particularly on a vocal or drums, without being distracting. Also sounds very nice on guitars, sometimes it's really cool to leave the spring on the amp dry and add it after with the 140.
Tip: instead of using its pre delay, use a 100% wet Space Echo plugin with no repeats as the pre delay - a lot of studios did this in the 70s!

Vocal & Acoustic Guitar greatness
I use the EMT 140 on pretty much all of my lead vocal tracks. I also use this on acoustic guitars. It is flat out my favorite reverb out there. stellar!

Great Value
Having this quality reverb at such a low price is just amazing. There are a lot of great reverb plugins out there but this is one of the best ones you can buy.

Excellent Emulation
Back in the 80's I was lucky enough to use the original EMT plates. They were quirky and required a good tech to keep them working and sounding good.
It's been a long time but I must say that this little plug-in really captures the essence of using the original hardware unit with the upside of no maintenance!
For the price I would recommend this plug-in to pretty much anyone looking for an alternate reverb that is warm and rich. Remember though, " a little goes a long way" with this type of reverb!
Buy it and enjoy!
