Explore Three Legendary Plate Reverbs

Endorsed by EMT International GmbH, the EMT 140 Classic Plate Reverberator plug-in gives you the organic lushness that only plate reverb can provide. With three uniquely different EMT units modeled at The Plant Studios in Sausalito, California — the EMT 140 plug-in will infuse your sources with the unmistakable warmth and beauty of an iconic ambience unit.

Discover Unique Plate Textures

Plates A and B model the original EMT electronics system, for which the plates themselves had intentionally not been tuned in some time. Conversely, Plate C — the most full-frequency plate — uses the more modern Martech electronics which had just been fully serviced.

Enjoy Added Flexibility for All your Sources

WIth “plug-in only” features such as Balance, Width, and Modulation, you can harness the EMT 140 in ways previously unavailable with the hardware. Pinpoint a mono snare reverb with the Balance control, spread out strings with the Width function, or use the Modulation feature to add a subtle shimmer or intense reverb tail to a lead vocal. By adding these controls to the original EMT circuit, you’re afforded tons of plate reverb textures for all of your sources.

What They Say

[The EMT 140 plug-in] is great on snare to put a little space around it, I use it as a general plate.

    A timeless classic - absolutely essential.

    The UA EMT 140 is the most musical and authentic plate reverb plugin I’ve ever used. It adds depth, warmth, and vintage character to anything you run through it. The three plate models and simple, effective controls make it incredibly versatile. It’s a true studio staple and an absolute must-have.

    I'D GIVE IT 10 STARS IF I COULD!

    WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT PLATE REVERB PLUGINS AVAILABLE I WAS HESITANT TO PICK THIS ONE UP BUT WOW, THIS IS A MUST HAVE! IT HAS REPLACED MOST OF THE OTHER REVERBS. GO TO THE "VOX A" OR "VOCAL A" PRESET FOR YOUR VOCALS, YOU'LL THANK ME LATER!
