The EMT 140 was a groundbreaking innovation as the world’s first plate reverb, known for its bright and rich sound that surpassed earlier spring reverbs and echo chambers. This iconic unit became a staple in top recording studios around the globe, prized for its ability to add depth and character to mixes. Although originally a costly and cumbersome piece of hardware, the legacy of the EMT 140 remains influential in modern music production.

Arturia’s Rev PLATE-140 brings this legendary reverb into your digital audio workstation with remarkable accuracy, recreating the unique sound of the original EMT 140 along with its vacuum tube preamp. The plugin offers three distinct plate models, each with its own resonant qualities, allowing producers to find the perfect reverb character for vocals, instruments, or full mixes. With a lush decay and classic warmth, this reverb plugin enhances tracks by adding space and cohesion, making it an essential tool for professional and home studios alike.

Beyond faithful sound reproduction, Rev PLATE-140 includes features that provide creative control and sonic shaping. Adjustable pre-delay allows for clear separation between dry and reverberated signals, while a high-pass filter on the input helps remove unwanted frequencies before the sound reaches the plate. Additional tools like integrated chorus modulation and post-reverb parametric EQ ensure your reverb sits perfectly in the mix. With its intuitive interface and comprehensive presets, this plugin makes it easy to achieve vintage plate reverb tones with modern flexibility.
