Plate reverbs have a diffused bright idealized sound quality that’s unlike acoustic spaces. Developed in collaboration with Abbey Road Studios this definitive plugin captures the 4 versatile plates used for film scores classical projects and pop music from Pink Floyd to Adele. The EMT plates installed in 1957 remain in use today—because they sound incredible. Modeled with meticulous detailed and validated by Abbey Road these sounds are now available to all.

Shiny Smooth Reverb for All Tracks

Plate reverbs produce a dense bright sound without early reflections. This gives the smoothest possible reverb effect with drums percussion instrument attacks (like guitar strums) and other percussive sounds.

Give Vocals Brightness and Presence

Compared to the organic sound of acoustic reverb the focused bright sound of plates has made them a favorite reverb for vocals and percussive instruments—but the sound quality helps any track stand out just a little more in a mix.

Variable Versatility

No two plate sounds are alike—so Abbey Road Reverb Plates captures the sound of the 4 distinctly different plates at Abbey Road Studios. Embellish the sound further with drive analog modeling pre-delay and EQ.
