Infuse your Mixes with Iconic 1970s Effects

The EMT 250 Classic Electronic Reverb plug-in is a faithful emulation of the world’s first digital reverb and modulation unit, introduced in 1976. Still regarded as one of the best reverbs ever made, the EMT 250 has left an immeasurable mark on record-making history, having been used by legendary producers from George Massenburg and Bruce Swedien to Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno, and Allen Sides.

Get the Sound of Countless Classics

The EMT 250’s distinctive clear and open reverb sound has appeared on countless records, including Prince & The Revolution’s Purple Rain, Elvis Costello’s Spike, and modern classics like The Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Stadium Arcadium.

From Ocean Way to your Studio

Fully endorsed by EMT, the UAD EMT 250 plug-in uses the same algorithm found in the original, extremely rare hardware — modeling a sourced “golden unit” that resides at the famed Ocean Way Recording.

Explore a Classic Reverb with Modern Features

The EMT 250 plug-in goes far beyond the original hardware, adding modern workflow-enhancing features like Dry/Wet Mix, Wet Solo, and Hard bypass. With these useful additions, the EMT 250 plug-in becomes even more powerful than the iconic hardware.

What They Say

The EMT 250 and EMT140 emulations [for UAD] are stunning. They're just absolutely phenomenal.

Ryan Hewitt

Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Avett Brothers

Forget any other plate emulation, the UAD EMT 250 could actually be the real thing. Deep, wide, and full of personality.

Rik Simpson

Coldplay, Portishead, Jay Z

I use the EMT 250 because it has such a specific sound, and the UAD plug-in really does capture it.

    can you please make it native ASAP?

    I use it in every project but when I travel I can't use it and its really annoying.. I then end up using other plugins and I think many other producers have the same problem!

    can you please make this native ASAP?

    thanks

    Solid reverb

    It’s a classic, I got it because I know the hardware version was used in some records that I like. It’s a good reverb with some nice presets. I’ll have to take some time to learn the details a bit better, but it seems to have some cool effects that aren’t just strictly reverb.
