SP140 Plate Reverb

SP140 Plate Reverb is a faithful AU/VST recreation of five famous examples of German steel plate reverb units, first introduced in 1957 and used ubiquitously on your favorite recordings throughout the 1960's and 70's, and even up until today.

Powered by Gorilla Engine, and made in collaboration with Numerical Sound, the plugin includes classic studio functionality such as pre-delay, high- and low-pass filtering, a shapable node and a tail length control from a full 6 seconds down to a mere 20ms (much shorter than an analog unit).

Density Control

The never-before-seen Density control allows you actually change the density of the reverb to range from a full, lush plate sounds to a light, transparent wash without reducing the fullness of the reverb. It's like dialling back the reverb without touching the mix level or reverb time.

Added Distortion

The Drive knob allows you to add tube-style distortion either pre- or post-reverb, for a customization of tone. Additionally, the high- and low-pass set screws give you the ability to place the distortion exactly where you want in the frequency spectrum, keeping it from overpowering things in the mix.

A Plate with Width

The Send Width control allows you to narrow the input signal on the way into the reverb to help focus your track. The Reverb Width control ranges from a full stereo reverb to a fully collapsed mono reverb. These impulses were specifically designed to sum to mono in a way that actually matches a true classic mono plate, rather than just summing left and right channels, which can give you an overly thick, muddy result. The Reverb Pan control allows you to place the reverb in the center, or pan the entire plate signal off to one side or the other (think Eddie Van Halen's guitar sound on the first five Van Halen records).
